So difficult to decide which memories to include in one page when there are 35 years to choose from, so I decided to make a list… but to start off the most important one is not a single time. It’s my memory of a lifetime of love, patience, unconditional acceptance, and heartfelt generosity. The example provided through a God-centered life and countless offerings of advice, never judgmental, but strong in its “rightness”. Thank you.
 

• Games and popcorn at Grandma and Grandpa Blair’s after night church.
   
• Sitting around the fire in the farmhouse watching Cosby, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy playing cards.
   
• Hot cocoa and snacks after sledding and snowmobiling.
   
• Picking beans, corn, raspberries, and rhubarb.
   
• Arguing about whether Uncle Andy beat Grandma in “the Race”.
   
• Getting Mrs. Bell to let us off the bus at the “wrong stop”.
   
• Life-savers from G-ma during church; G-ma’s beautiful hymn-singing voice.
   
• Mr. Steak… figuring the bill and tip.
   
• Tuck back.
   
• The lake.
   
• The farm.

I love you,
Craig
