Dear Mrs. Helm, my dearest friend Deb, Bonnie & Family
There's no greater sadness than the loss of a child, words cannot express the sadness or emptiness one feels at this time. I'm so sorry for your loss & please take comfort in knowing that Craig is in a happier place, whole & running with joy.
I wish there were some words of comfort I could extend to you & your family but I know there's nothing that can be said to make things feel better again.
This comes from my heart with all my love when I wish you all well & pray for you & your family to get through yet another hurdle in life.
Please don't hesitate to call on me for anything I can do to help.
With much love- Jody, John & Angelina.

So sadden to hear of Craig's passing. Just seeing him last month at the Round-up, made it hard to believe it's been 25 years since his accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both. Cindy

My, our most deepest condolences in Craig's passing. A life does not end here but starts a new journey in a life of what one person has dreamed of. All though during this journey not only are you remembering him ; he still watches over you.

I was saddened to hear this news. My friend Bev Butz (Booth) saw the obituary in the paper and emailed me. My heart and prayers are with Craig's family, especially my childhood friend Debbie and Craig's mother. It is wrenching to lose a child. I'm so sorry. I ask for the peace that passes all understanding to be yours, now and always.
