Uncle Craig ~ As I sit here and think about all the fun times we had together, I find myself thinking back to the three years I spent in Springfield! I am so thankful for that time, especially now! I remember the time when Chad and I carved pumpkins and brought them over to your house. Remember we lit the candles in them, hung a bag full of your favorite candy on your door, rang the door bell and ran?! You caught us but it was the funniest thing ever! And how about the hoodie you gave me for my bday?! I love that thing and still wear it, even with the holes in the elbows! I am going to miss you so so much. You were such a wonderful, thoughtful, kind, and gentle man! I love you more than you will ever know. Rest in peace. Xoxo
