Jon it's now just the beginning of November and I still haven't stopped thinking about you. You had such a profound impact on my life and I know it's because your heart was so big. You were always there for me and help shaped in to the Man I have become. So even though you may be gone now, you will forever be apart of me. Rest easy my good friend for we will walk together again beyond those pearly gates.

To the Family and Friends of Jonathan P. Craig,

May I extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. Death is not a natural thing it was never part of God's purpose Genesis 1:26-28 but we have hope and this promise is sure John 3:16.

May we look to the future with hope and faith according to God's word 1 Corinthians 15:22-26.

I'm blessed to have known you! ❤ I'm thankful for all the birthday cookouts and family events I was able to share with you and the whole family. I'm thinking of you all at this time and send my love and prayers. I will miss your smile, your laughter and your couch. OMF will never be the same on the 4th without you there but your memory will be kept alive. May you rest in peace. Much love until we meet again. ❤

I was a guest at Madonna House with Jon in 2012. Once a year at MH there's a variety show with skits and performances. He wrote a parody of "Be My Guest" (from Beauty and the Beast) called "We are Guests". I was the one who whipped the guests into order to perform it. It was a huge hit with the performers and the audience. What I loved most about it was that it was truly hilarious while also expressing how much he loved MH, in a tender, earnest way. That's how I remember him: really funny and full of life but with such a kind, sincere, tender heart. My heart breaks for his family. Rest in peace.

Jon, it was great to get to know you at Madonna House. I truly appreciated it when you took your day off to come to Saint Ann's and spend it with us. I enjoyed your questions in our catechism class with Fr. Paul. I'll never forget the "We are Guest" song we were privileged to preform together. I will pray for you down here, and ask you to keep me in your prayers. We love you. I enjoyed working with you on the farm. I can still hear your "Go for it!" in my mind from when I was shoveling shavings down into a bucket from above for you to spread around the chicken coup. I also remember when you said you were happy to see me when you said you prayed for a good helper that day on the farm when I was your helper that day. We shoveld crap together in the barn and I'll never forget how you taunted the cows with your mooing. "MOOOOO, MOOOO" LOL I can hear it now. It brings a great grin to my face. You will be missed my brother in Christ. It was a pleasure meeting you. Until we meet again.

Our Lady of Combermere,

Pray for us

Jon was one of the greatest individuals I have ever met. Through our time at Madonna House, we became instant friends. I thank God every day for his friendship, and I truly count him as a brother.

I rode the bus with Jon for the vo-tech program at Chariho for many years. He always had a smile and was positive about life. I remember our last day of school how he let his hair blow through the wind and was truly excited for life. I'm sure he is dancing up in the sky and looking down upon us. He will be missed by many.It is true that only the good die young.
