this was sent to me when my 23 year old son died
God looked around his heavenly stadium and said it's time to recruit one more he then looked upon this earth at me and said come on son your invited to my place he said son your time on earth is done I could not stay here another day to laugh, to love, to play, things left undone must stay that way, don't be sad with grief and sorrow I savored much good friends I wish you all the sunshine of tommorrow I know to all of you my life here on earth seemed to brief I know I'm where I ought to be.

It is with heavy hearts that we share in your grief over the loss of your precious son. It is from my (Lisa) own experience that I know that no words, absolutely none, can bring comfort during this time. Only God can bring the healing that your heart requires. Lean not on your understanding, but trust in His perfect plan. We will never know the reason that Craig was called home but the good news is that in Christ, you will see him again. May God wrap His loving arms around you and your family. With love, Randy and Lisa
