My heart breaks for the entire Craig family in such a tremendous loss! Marianne was the sister of my BIL, Timmy and best friend to my sister, Rae-jean Craig. She was an amazing woman that always had a smile for everyone and words of wisdom when others were in pain. I have been grateful to Marianne many times over the years for being in Maine holding my sister up emotionally when I am so far away in MN. No one will ever know WHY...but, all that knew her should celebrate the gifts, smile, love, and wisdom that she shared so lovingly with everyone that she came in contact with. Music has always helped me in the happiest and saddest of times in my life...I recommend a song on youtube called "WHY" by Rascal Flatts. Prayers for cleansing tears so that it will be easier to celebrate Marianne's beautiful life and remember only happy memories! God Bless You All!

It's Only A Memory
Your smile, your laughter
Only a memory to us now.

Your voice, your personality
Only a memory.

Sometimes people mention your name.
Some just keep quiet.

But no matter what is or isn’t said.
You’re always on someone’s mind.

But it seems like only yesterday,
You were by your family’s side.

We can only think of who you’d be,
To us, now you only remain a memory.

For your friends and family, things just aren’t the same.
It still doesn’t seem real.
Who holds the blame?

If love could have saved you,
You’d still be here today.
The love we hold for you,
Will never change.

God broke our hearts to prove he took the best.
Everything you did, everything you were.
It’s only a memory.
