February is one of the most difficult months for me emotionally. I will never understand why all of you left me . I hope what they say is true and we all will be united again. I miss you Uncle Craig and I miss all the others too. If you can really hear me tell the others my life isn’t the same without all of you. My heart hurts!

I thought of you through out this week and even more today. That's really nothing new or should it surprise. Everyone knows what family means to me. I often find myself thinking of the ones who have been welcomed home by Christ more and more. Some days I even wish to be with you all instead of here with the remaining family members. I wonder what it's like with all of you there with only joy and no worries. It has to be an amazing place. Your at peace an able to see and know the holy trinity for yourself. I know all of you are looking out for us down here and I'm being a little selfish right now but can you take some extra time and look out for your god sons Ahmad and especially Amir. I can't tell you how many tears I've shed wishing you, daddy and uncle Kevin were here to help me with certain situations with them. The family misses all of you. However I'm happy your spending a birthday in heaven with all the other angels watching over us. Until next time lots of love" Alyssa

I just heard of your homecoming, and it breaks my heart. Its been 18 plus years since I last saw you, but not a day has gone by that I didn't think of you and your beautiful smile.You were truly one of a kind and I have and will always miss you. I only wish things had been different back then and we had stayed in touch. Until we meet again my friend, much love and lots of hugs.

Dear Baby Brother in Heaven…

I found this poem and it reminded me of you on your SPECIAL DAY…
Happy Birthday Sweetie…. Missing you so much…

I sit here and ponder, how very much I'd like to talk with you today.
There are so many things that we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me, And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and took, you by the hand, and said your place was ready in Heaven,
far above… And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved.
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do…
It still seems impossible that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew.
You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you've walked through Heaven's gate, we are never far apart
For every time I think of you, you're right here, deep with in my heart…

RIP… Craig Stephen Waller – June 6, 1966 to February 16, 2007

TO MY BABY BROTHER... Another year has gone by and the feel of your lost just get deeper and deeper… There is not a day that goes by that I don't long to see your smiling face. I was driving down the highway one day and a car exactly like yours went streaking pass me I just knew it was you… So of course me and my crazy self but pedal to the medal and sped up so that I could get a better glimpse… I knew it couldn't be… But you know me I'm always hoping and thinking the impossible. Happy Birthday Sweetie… I miss you so much....
RIP JUNE 6, 1966 TO FEBRUARY 16, 2007

Happy birthday Uncle Craig! Im sitting at work (I'm a substitue teacher can you believe it) & thinking of you. So many memories. I never knew the impact you had on Ahmad & Amir's life until after your death. We miss you so much. I often think of the talks you gave Amir about his football career. I know you are looking out for him & will continue to while he's @ JMU. We love you & know God loves you best. Keep smiling..... Love you

To my loving brother.
Baby there is not a day, hour, or minute of the day that I don't think of you and see your smiling face. When I go to Mom and Dad's house I long to see your car in the drive, but deep in my heart I know that only in my mind and heart will I see it there again. I miss you little brother and wish that you could have stayed in our lives a little longer.

Your sweet disposition and loving ways will always be engraved in my heart and the rest of the families too. I am glad that I got to say goodbye to you before the cremation. The smile and the serene and peaceful look you had on your face even in death helps get me though each day.

It helped me to know that God was generous to you and did not make you suffer. They say that he is a loving God and doesn’t make mistakes. So I have to believe that your death was not just a useless cause. I know that God had better things for you to accomplish in his kingdom.

Baby, I know that you knew how much I loved you and how proud I was of your accomplishments.

I remember when you were born you were not only my little brother you became my shadow and my baby. When you died a piece of my heart went with you. I love you little brother until we meet again. Sweet Dreams

I went to elementary school with Craig. I had not heard of the accident but instead, for some reason, thought of him today and did an internet search. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My memory of Craig is a very fond one. I remember Craig for his sense of humor and kind and wondeful personality. It must have been a wonderful memorial because it did a incredible job of making me think of him.

To the family:
Craig and I went to school together and hadn't seen each other in almost 22 years until a couple months ago and at that time we took a walk down memory lane and took a few minutes to catch up. Craig was a good friend and I'm thankful we had that opportunity. You have my deepest sympathy. Please know that I too share your loss and have you in my prayers.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
