My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Craig Family as you mourn the physical passing of your beloved brother and uncle. It was my honor and privilege to serve with him in ordained ministry as Pastor of Saint Teresa of Avila Roman Catholic Church in Southeast Washington, DC. Father Craig left an indelible mark upon all of us with his quick humor and gentle smile. While his body lies in the sleep of death, his spirit will remain forever with us. Thank you for sharing an inestimable gift with the Church. On Sunday at our 8:00 a.m. liturgy, a special remembrance of Father Craig will take place. You are warmly invited. Peace be with you always!

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Fr. Craig. He performed the wedding ceremony for us almost 25 years ago (August 3, 1985). He was a wonderful person who will be truly missed.
