Dear family & friends of Craig,: Please accept my sympathy for your(our) loss. I have enjoyed working with Craig over the past 5 years and I will miss him very much. Craig always managed to make me laugh with his story-telling and crazy antics or mishaps. If it could happen - it probably happened to Craig first. (right?) He loved sharing stories about his projects and his family - he loved you guys, especially his granddaughter. You made him very proud.Craig brought alot of energy to work with him. Somedays he had a million things going at once - especially if there was a trouble to be solved. He was jumping right in to figure it out. He was always willing to share his knowledge and lend a helping hand. Smart. Kind-hearted. Lots of good, fun-filled memories. I'm gonna miss you Craigers.God Bless,Dawn W. (dew)::::: A Time For Everything : For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.A time to be born and a time to die.A time to plant and a time to harvest.A time to kill and a time to heal.A time to tear down and a time to build up.A time to cry and a time to laugh.A time to grieve and a time to dance.A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.A time to embrace and a time to turn away.A time to search and a time to quit searching.A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend.A time to be quiet and a time to speak.A time to love and a time to hate.A time for war and a time for peace.Eccel. 3:1-8 NLT:::::With God's love and grace, may each day get easier and each memory brighter.
