Love and deepest condolences to all of Craig's siblings. We can all live out our lives and have a difficult time finding a more genuinely kind and wonderful person. Please rest in peace
One of my favorite memories was spending the week with Uncle Tom and Aunt Maryellen’s overt Christmas Break and me, Alby, Cindy and Katheleen stayed a whole week, we didn’t want to leave. We sledded down their back yard hilll and it was a steep hill. And Aunt Yellie made us hot chocolate, all kinds of winter fun. I look back at that time and I realize they had 10 kids running a muck and that handled it with grace.
I had a brother, brave and true, with Irish heart in all he’d do. A soul so fierce, a laugh so free, He gave the best of him to me. He walked through life with steady grace, a quiet strength, smiling face. In every storm, he stood his ground, with roots like oak and love so profound. Now fields of green may hold his rest, but still he lives in my chest. In songs we sang, tales we told, in memories that won’t grow old. So let us grieve, but not in vain, he’d hate to see us bow in pain. Raise up a glass, and softly say; WE’LL MEET AGAIN, ANOTHER DAY.

Beautiful poem Dawn. I’m sure he’s smiling and feeling your strong sisterly love. Sorry for your loss. Grief can be devastating. In time the light & joy return. Love, Aunt Cathy
