I buried my grandson, Jeremi Lawson, one year ago today. Merissa and Craig attended his funeral along with many many other friends. You are about to begin a long long journey of grief. Mine hasn't ended yet. FYI...don't listen to others tell you how you should travel your journey or how long it should take. If you need a traveling companion, I offer my help to you. Merissa knows how to reach me.
I will be thinking of you both while I continue to travel down my own journey of grief.

To Craig R.I.P, the time I got to spend with you will be forever treasured. I really hate to lose you in this way.

To the family here is a verse that helped and reassured me that he is now in a better place when I found out...
Isaiah 41:9-13

9 I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 “All who rage against you
will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
will be as nothing and perish.
12 Though you search for your enemies,
you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
will be as nothing at all.
13 For I am the LORD your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

I am really sorry for the loss.

Craig always had a smile on his face no matter what the circumstances were. God gained a true Angel and one that will always put a smile on your face.

I am Craigs cousin and I was very close to him and will miss him dearly. I know he was always smiling everytime I seen him and even when he was down on himself or his luck you could nevr whipe his smile off his face. I know he had such a bright future and was taken from us way to soon but Gods plan is his plan and for whatever reason he was needed in heaven but will always be missed on earth. To Craig I love you bro and I miss you so much and know you will always be in my heart.
