Brandon and I will miss Craig a lot and we pray that you both stay stong and know that he is watching over all of us and will be our beautiful Angel!

I remember this past friday, talking with Craig about his plans for the Air Force. Being a Veteran of the A.F. I went back 37 years in time giving him tips, decribing how great it would be, he listened intently with a smile. GODS plan was greater than Craigs, or of the loving Father, Mark and the loving Mother, Karen. Little did we all know Craigs work was done here and instead of flying with the Air Force he is flying with the Angels. GOD keep you Karen and Mark in his mercy.

Craig you were like my little brother, my right hand man. Even when i moved away you never let the distance get between us. We always had a unique love for eachother which there is only one other person i knew of that had this bond with you (Chris). Not a day goes by that i wish we could of spent a little more time together to make more great memories then what we have today. Im just glad to know that we have a great angel looking over us. For Mark and Karen you were like my second family and always welcomed me with open arms into your home. My heart goes out to you two. Stay strong.
