We lost a very special man on March 22nd. After a very short two month battle with cancer, Craig passed away peacefully surrounded by Jill and his boys. I am so happy they both were able to be there with him. Josh has been driving to Modesto as frequently as he could to spend time with his dad and mom and I think those are times that he will forever cherish. We were fortunate enough to see him the weekend before as we talked baseball and gymnastics. For a man who didn't have any daughters, he was so concerned about Emmy being ready for her big state gymnastics meet, it was so sweet, I will never forget it. And of course there was lots of talk of the boy's upcoming baseball season. We all got to chat, give hugs and tell him how much we loved him. There are no other words to express my sadness for losing such a sweet man and for Josh and Zach and Jill to lose him so young.
Ryan took the news pretty hard so we spent some time looking through photos to remind us of all our fun memories and adventures. Ryan set his ipad screensaver to the photo below and I think it is one of my favorite pictures from our trip to Mammoth a few years ago. Not only did Ryan inherit Craig's good looks but also his sweet and sensitive heart. xoxo
We are so sorry for your loss! He loved you all very much and was so proud of you.
