Someone sent me this recently & I thought of you:
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss Me-But Let Me Go!
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss Me-But Let Me Go!
Hope you're doing OK. Sleep well xx
Fallen hero!
Gone but never forgotten Craig! Hope they play Green Day on radio today, it was on yesterday so since they seem to play same play list (Lol) it should be on again today!
RIP and have a party with the rest of the fallen heros! xxxx
Well my OCD thinks you have had 69 tributes for far too long so here's one to make it a nice round 70! Been thinking about you even more than usual these last couple of weeks. I bet you are soooo proud of your beautiful daughter and her beautiful mamma because they are both amazing and I love them (and you!!) lots!!Miss you Craig x
Craig - watch over your special family. Such a struggle for them over the last two years and they have handled it with a dignity most would find lacking. You're missed by so many people. Thinking of you today - as always xxx
Strange!
How strange! I came on to light you a candle, then 5 mins after your song came on radio! It hasnt been on for a while either! x

Love the radio station i listen to, it plays Wake Me Up When September Ends a lot, which always gives me a wierd sad feeling im my stomach, but makes me think of you and smile at the same time. RIP hun. xxx
Well Craig - soon it's not last year we lost you anymore. Why does it feel like yesterday and yet feels like an eternity???? You are still missed so, so much by such a lot of people. Thinking of you as usual on this special night. xxxxxxx
