Michelle and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. In the much too short time we have been fortunate to know Craig he has made an impression on our hearts. We have been blessed to have neighbors like you. You were the very first to welcome us to the neighborhood and since we have been here, you both have been there to offer any help we may have needed. Please know that we are here to reciprocate with any help or support you and your family may need during this difficult time and in the future. It was always a joy to drive by and see him playing with the boys in the yard. He will forever be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
From the bottom of our hearts,

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance. (Garth Brooks, "The Dance")
While we are saddened by our loss Craig, we cherish the many moments we shared with him. He was a special brother-in-law, uncle and Godfather.

Michelle, Lucas and Spencer~
There are so many words said, so many words written with Craig's death. Yet nothing can change what happened. It is all so sudden and so shocking. We want you to know that we will be praying that amidst this heavy time of disappointment, that you will know the comfort that only God can provide--through a song, a person's words, a hug or just through times of silence. We love you. We care about you.
