1 thought on “Craig Sanders”

  1. My life is forever changed with the loss of my brother. We lost the patriarch of our family. We all had so many good times, and a lifetime of memories that I am so glad to have. Craig’s life was so full of accomplishments. He was a very special soul and now is at peace. He was the ‘baby’ of the family and the only boy. You can imagine how spoiled he was with 3 older sisters that were happy to give him his way (most of the time anyway) You are forever in a sacred part of my heart baby brother. Until we meet again I say goodbye for now. You were precious to me.
