 ~Tribute To "MY" Parents~
IT'S NEVER EASY TO SAY GOOD-BYE
TO LET GO.....
"While memories of a love one,
remain in the heart,
they are never lost
but live forever!"
 
My parents, Bill & Elizabeth Craig, were extraordinary people
Mom loved to read, do crafts, and knit. She loved gardening
and plants. She loved music, and could play piano and guitar.
Hockey was her favorite sport...~Wayne Gretzky~
Mom was a kind, caring, wonderful lady. She suffered from Arthritis
most of her life...She never complained!
Her children and grandchildren always came first.
She passed away Feb. 15 1998, at the age of 76.
I lost my "best friend" that day....
I will always love you Mom, and hold you deep in my Heart.
Dad loved to fish and hunt. He was a Nature lover by heart.
Photography was one of his hobbies...
He was an excellent gunsmith, always reading how to fix things.
Give him a guitar, and he could play and sing like a bird.
Dad was a quiet, soft spoken man, who enjoyed "simple things"
Family was important to him.
He died Sept. 5 1982, at the age of 58,
after complications from Heart ByPass surgery.
Dad will always be in my thoughts, and my Heart.
 
Mom in 1997 and Dad, when he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943, at age 19.
~MOTHERS~
Warmer than the Summer sun,
Softer than the breeze;
Sweeter than a rose in bloom,
A Mothers all of these.
She will always stand by you,
throughout your childhood years,
She'll be around to comfort you,
if you should ever shed a tear;
She will always pick you up,
no matter why you fall;
Because the love of Mothers,
is the strongest love of all.
Yes, Mothers are Gods Angels,
but remember they're on loan;
And one day in the future, God will call them home.
So if you have a Mother,
Please show her that you care,
And let her know you love her,
And all the Memories that you share!
~WHAT MAKES A DAD~
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quite sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad!

~GOD'S PROMISE~
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain,
But God did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and a light for the way.
And for all wh o believe in His Kingdom above,
He answers their faith with everlasting love.

"For every burden, there's relief
A joy for every sorrow,
For every trouble, that we face,
There's new hope for tomorrow."
