Craig was special to me. He and his wife Sandy treated me different than the other brothers and sisters did. They were always so good to me growing up. I was the black sheep in the family but Graig and Sandy never made me feel that. I felt love. A Big brother’s love I miss you . Someday we will meet again your little sister Diane
