Tina: My heart goes out to you and I'm so glad you shared such happy times in your home in Floria & traveling and sharing your enthusiasm for life with so many folks around the globe. Craig made an impact on my life by his willingness to share his talents in so many areas. With Deepest Sympathy.

Tina:

Our deepest sympathy. We were not aware that Craig had been so ill, and were quite shocked to hear this news. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are so glad we drove some extra miles to visit Craig and Tina on August 10 and 11, approximately a week before we heard from Tina that he had died. He was in good spirits, a good host, tired easily, but sorry we could not stay longer. Kay and I are both sorry that "he could not stay longer." We will miss him greatly, his sense of humor and his courage in facing all obstacles. A fine man and a dear friend! Erik and Kay 8/26/11
