After Glow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

My deepest sympathies go out to Craig's family. This was so unexpected and tragic. Craig has been a very good friend for many years now. He was sweet, giving, and kind. He worked hard and enjoyed life. He loved his children more than anything in the world and would do anything for them. He was such a unique person that attracted both the good and bad. He has his ups and downs like everyone else but always came out on top. He really was such a special person in my life and I am deeply saddened to see him pass. He wanted to do so many things in his life. He wanted to travel and see the world despite his fears. He really pushed himself to try new things and get out of his bubble as he called it. I can honestly say there is a hole in my heart and life without him in it. I will always remember him fondly and truly miss him. I'll miss his smile, his laugh, his singing, and his conversations about his true passions in life. One day we will meet again my friend. I love you dearly.
