I still miss you and think of you often, but know you´re at peace. I´m so thankful that I had you as my brother in law. You were loved!

I will miss you always. I met you at 12 years old and you became my brother in law at 13. Your smile was so kind and your laughter was contagious. You were one of the nicest people I knew and always considered you my brother. My heart is broken that you are no longer here on this earth, but is rejoicing that you are with our Lord. You are home and no longer in pain. I love you, Craig! Rest In Peace!
