Dear Kathy,
My condolences to you and your family . My fond memories of Craig go back to our childhood when I would come to your house for slumber parties or National Guard duties at Fort Jackson one summer . You were a good little sister and it seemed he always was willing to put up with our pranks . Remember that life has not ended just changed .
