"You do not have a soul. You ARE a soul. You HAVE a body." ~Unknown.
Just a reminder that this life as a human being is temporary - for every single one of us. Who knows what comes next? I hope it's some version of peace -- where we let go of the troubles, and the worries, and the judgements, and we just know LOVE.
Craig and I sometimes went years without talking, but then one of us would call or send a card, and everything was as it should be. There were many times that I was frustrated with him but he always knew that I loved him.
When I started with my serious health challenges Craig is one of a handful of people who reached out to me. He called me and told me that he loved me and was very concerned. He told me I needed to "come home" so he could see me and so I could be near family. I so appreciated that call. He just made me feel loved. So glad I got to see him this past year.
Craig, you will be missed. <3 <3

I love you, Craig. I was blessed to have become an Aunt at age 3. I always felt that you were more like a brother to me. We always had good times growing up together and I have wonderful memories. I miss you and you will always be in my heart.

Art, Babette, Jay and Family, Nicole, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of Craig. He was a very special person, interesting, and fun who had great potential. I always felt we had an understanding of each other's situation. He always treated me special...that meant a lot to me. He had such a great personality. Remember when he planted those trees you all gave me... that was a special time, really nice visit. Craig is in my heart always.

My deepest sympathy to your family at this very tough time. I remember spending time with Craig when I was little staying over on weekends with my Dad (Joel). He was always so nice to me. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood and Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your beloved son. Craig was a great guy and a good friend of our family. He worked with my husband, Bob, for about 7 years. They worked on many jobs and projects together. My favorite is my stamped concrete patio in my backyard. It is beautiful. Craig and Bob are probably working together again, paving the sidewalks and streets of heaven. I will always remember you Craig.

Art and Babette. We were so shocked and sorry to hear about your son's death and are grateful to Peggy for letting us know.
So very sorry for you and all your and his family. Way too young; we just don't expect to outlive our children. We lost our daughter, Babe, at the age of 47 in 2008 to lung cancer, so we know how difficult this time is. Wishing you peace and comfort in your surviving sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren and each other. Your many, many friends who know, are with you in spirit!! Betty and Bill Obst
