Craig and I worked together at Dillard's in Kenner. He would always have me laughing until my sides hurt. He had an amazing lightness to him. He was a groomsmen in my wedding. After I moved to Houston for nursing school we drifted apart as people often fo, but then when Katrina came he showed up at the hospital I worked at (EJGH) when he had no hospital to go back to. It was as if no time had passed. I had heard he was a Nurse and even worked in surgery as did I. I was overjoyed to reconnect then. But it was short lived and he finally went back to work at another hospital. I feel I was truly lucky to have a friend in Craig and an devastated learning of his passing. I send my love and prayers to his family.
