To Craig's Mom and Family - I am so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful young man. Thankyou Catherine for lighting a candle on my nephew Sammy's website. My heart is still broken over the loss of my nephew, godson and bestfriend but it does not compare to your pain or my sisters pain (sammy's mom). Your son died fighting a war, Sammy chose to end his life. I feel your pain as your son did not chose to go, but regardless of the circumstance the loss of a child is always unbearable.

torquay was not the same craig / Cath Beck Craigs Mum
well craig just visisted torquay after all these years again. well what can i say, me n al , sean n michelle went , i dont no what i expected but when i think of it ,all the fun we had was probably cos you were younger and together with ya brother, well this hol was different for us cos this time we went it was 4 adults and it was not the same. we had some good laffs and showed michelle all the things and places we had been too but it just werent the same as it was in the past ,so we probably wont go again. its time for new places now , nothing to do with you not being with us because you are with us all day every day ,its just that now sean comes with us as an adult ,and so times have moved on, you see all that was exciting then isnt now you no, the go karts are to small the quad bikes arnt big enough anymore, you know what i mean, but werever we go you will be with us in our hearts and minds all the time. we brought you some pressies back for your garden, we all hope you like them craig, well take care craig and just remember whereever we go in the world you will be with us in a very big way love to you forever your mum, dad sean and michelle xxxx Close

The Best / Cath Beck (mum)
A heart of gold stopped beating, Two brown shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts just to prove, He only takes the best.
God knew you had to leave us, But you did not go alone, Cos, part of us went with you, The day god took you home.
To some you are forgotten, The others you are the past, But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will last.
hello craig / Cath Beck (craigs mum )
hello craig, well as you no i came to the cemetry tonight at about 6 it was near half past 8 when i got home even though i come every day n most days twice today was nice for me cos as i arrived 2 mins later hannah arrived ,you will no what janet said and i hope with all my heart it really was you she was talkin about. cos i really miss you badly ,but i would be so happy to know that you are ok and happy. then grandma and keith came in and keith had to go and water is veggies so me and gran stayed chatin on the bench near you.

Then along came leanne, gemma and aimee who had walked all the way to see you, who brought some lovely flowers, to make sure that between your friends and family your garden is a blaze of colour, it looks lovely, but that is down to how people think of you, you must of made a good impression on their life and they are now returning the favour, i actually came away tonight with a smile on my face, so happy to be in touch with the people who cared about you, some of them i didnt even no, but you made good choices craig, every single person that as come into my life through you are the best and i thank you for that craig, me and leanne are takin renee and cadie on the park on thursday wish you could come, hannah is 18 at the weekend i will buy her a drink from you and me, well enough of mum now good night craig keep smiling i love and miss you so much take care xxxx Close

just seen this and thought about u craig......... / Michelle Kegg (friend)
You never gave up And always stood tall You were a great example Set for us all A up beat attitude With a constant smile We were all are blessed to know you If only for a little while
You are truly missed But we know you're in a better place Out of the pain And into gods grace You were the bravest person I ever knew If I ever needed help I could always look to you You lit up our lives With your kindness and grace And we will never forget Your beautiful face....

I am always with you / What craig would want to say to us all (from Cath xxx )
Its my birthday on Saturday my 20th and i dont want you to be sad so iv sent you all a poem to help you out.
When i am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do Dont tie yourself to me with tears Be thankfull we had 19 years.
I gave my love, you can only guess How much you all gave me happiness I thank you for the love you have shown But its time for me to go it alone.
So grieve for a while if you must Then let the grief be comforted with trust Its only for a while that we must part So treasure the memories in your heart.
I wont be far away, cos life goes on If you need me call, I will come You wont see or touch me, but I will be near And if you listen, you will hear My love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you come this way alone I`ll greet you with a smile, and a big welcome home.
