Dearest Appleby family -- Although I hadn't seen Craig since leaving Sudbury in 1971, I'll always remember him as the sweet kid next door -- just like many of these specials photos show him. My thoughts today are with you and Craig, and I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Hollis and the entire Appleby Family-
My how the years have past. Never would any of us expected to see the notice of Craig. How close we all use to be - so many years and not so far a distance to have lost such touch. My heart goes out to your family. Years of memories. God bless all of you.
