I am greatful to God for allowing me too have you for 21 wonderful years. You were always my cuddle baby so tender hearted, so easily hurt and so willing to give your love and heart away. You were always the peacemaker never wanted anyone to argue or to hurt. Shawnia told she wished you were here because you could always make her laugh, you made her feel special, thats they way you were with everyone.

Brian, Lincoln, Royce, Danny & Trevor all need your help they miss you so much.

Why was Julie driving so fast, why did she get behind the wheel if she had been drinking? Why didn't Brandy drive?? Did you ask Brandy to marry you that night? I have so many unanswered questions, I just don't understand! I have asked God to please help me understand what he wants from me?

I needed to say goodbye honey my heart hurts all the time you were so good so loving so giving. Always going out of your way too help anyone in need. Please know how proud I am to be your mom. I hope you know about the poems Mia, Amy, Nick and Lincoln wrote to you. It's just like Mia said to know you was to love you. Please help Joe, Nick and Ben they miss you so much and are very angry that they too never got to say goodbye. Come to us and let us know your with God and that your alright. Your Dad misses his buddy so much he doesn't have any one to help him work on the truck or car you know how your brothers are with cars you were the one with the talent where cars were concerned. I remember you from the time you were little working on cars with your dad. Craigy he loved you so much and misses you terribly.

Did you get the balloons and notes we sent you? I still can't believe it's been a whole year since I held you, since I kissed you, since I looked into the big brown eyes that had that special sparkle to them. It's been a whole year since you teased me and made me laugh. I miss you so much sometimes I think I'm not going to make it and then I hear your voice telling me Mom I'm worried about you please don't cry I'll be alright Joe, Nick and Ben need you. I know you would not want me to give up and so I will speak and do what ever I can to try and stop the senseless crime of Drinking and Driving so that some other mother does not have to feel the pain I feel everyday. I love you baby!!!! I know you are now 22. I had to have your birthday without you, but you will always be my Craigy Baby. My beautiful baby boy! Craig I love you more than life itself and miss you more than I ever thought was possible for one person. I send lots of hugs and kisses and will see you soon.

I'll write again soon my angel.

All My Love, Mom
