Craig was a great friend to me and a good Tennis Player, he always got me on those "down the line" shots. We had a lot of fun working together at Cranston Print Works and at Berkeley. I was so happy when Craig accepted Jesus as his Saviour. I know we'll all meet him again in Heaven. Debra and Family, my wife and I will be praying for you in this time. The Bible says "Precious in the eyes of the Lord are the death of His saints" May the Lord comfort you and give you strength. . . Yours in Christ; Jeff & Marion Parks
