The Craig family,
On behalf of all the Flemings I want to express our heartfelt sympathy with Scott's passing. I apologize for the delay but I just found out from High Maher in H.F. I have many fond memories of the Craig family in growing up in Highland Falls.You all were such a big part of life in H.F. and I always had so much respect for your Mom and Dad and admired the closeness your family showed to one another. Beth and your family, may God give you strength to carry on. Reading some of the comments of others you must be proud of the impact Scott had on so many young lives. God bless you all.
