After working with Craig for almost 22 yrs., he holds a special place in my heart. He was very serious about his work, but would laugh at the drop of a hat. I will miss you greatly. Craig, you were a trooper, never giving up and fighting all the way. What a comfort it must be to Melissa, grandchildren and Mr. and Mrs. Evans to know that Craig is now living with Jesus. My heart cries for all of your loss, and Len you were such a great caregiver. My love goes out to all of you.
