So shocked and sorry to hear of this. I have many good memories of debate trips with Craig back in high school. I'll keep a good thought for his family.

Joann and Family, I think you and Craig were so good for each other and that his last years were made better for that reason. I also am grateful that he did not have to suffer and his death, sad as it is, was merciful and fast. May God be with you in your grieving and help you in the days to come. Love you, Jane Campbell
