Lovely Craigy, We're so very glad you were our friend and that we loved each other very much. We are more than willing to bear this terrible sorrow at the loss of you if this is the price we have to pay for sharing such a big part of our life's journey with you. We refuse to say goodbye to you because you will always be with us in our old familiar stomping grounds; we will see you everywhere throughout our lives, and one day when our time comes we will see you on the other side old friend. Until then, all our love always and forever. Godspeed Craigy! The Huysies

A tribute to my nephew. So so many happy memories of when you were at Birmingham Uni and used to cycle up to your "mad Aunt Marje" (as you always called me) for dinner every night, wow, did you have a good appetite. Taken far to soon, your lovely, happy, handsome face will always be etched in my memory. Maria and children, no words can express my deepest sympathy to you all. with love Marje

My Darling Craig, "We loved with a love that was more than love" (Edgar Allan Poe). Forever in my heart, Maria x

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Craig. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
