my deepest sympathy to uncle eddie, aunt thelma, susan, noah and taylor. to boe, dean, kermit, trina, ross, and jenny, craig will always remain in all of your hearts, always watching over you. it's always nice to have an angel watching over you.
a life so young released to heaven
left on earth we wonder why
but some are sent among us briefly,
some have spirits meant to fly.

God Bless You All,
love,
