My smart, funny best friend of 20 years has left me for a little while. He departed this life at about 5 PM today. Rest in peace, Craig. I'll see you soon my Sweet Bear.
Diana, Tom and I are there for you. Craig and Tom had some memorable and fun times during their military duty as we know! Tom and I kept up with Craig's blog. You are correct, he is an idea guy. The blog featured interesting topics which he wrote about.
I (Margo) don't know your loss with Craig moving on to his next journey. And I have never met you or Craig but from his blog, and his love and devotion to and for you (conversations and Christmas Cards) you all had a very special love and union.
Tom and I are deeply sorrowed and grieving and let us know if there is anything we can possibly do to help.
I have tried twice to post a comment. Now you know why I always called. Then I could look forward to a letter. That went on for forty plus years. He was a good friend. No surprises. We had a lot of good times in Germany. I always looked forward to the time we had together after service. He is the only person I have known that owned a Checkered car. I will miss him. Good friends who never surprise you are rare. As I think off things we did I will write them. Call write or visit what ever helps. Tom
I am so sorry for your loss, Diana. I had the pleasure of working with Craig and he was always kind to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
That is a great picture of you two and your words are full of hope and grace! Peace be with you.
