May the Craig family find comfort in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) Take care,

I share in your loss this day. Carole was a one of a kind woman and friend, and she was also a great Manchester Mom to me as well… I miss her much!

PS. This candle I just lit for you Carole was a ‘Gold Canyon’
My deepest sympathy to the Craig family. Carole and I saw Howard and Mark get through some crazy “teen” years and they remained close friends to the end. Howard was like a member of our family, we loved him dearly.
Carole was a 2nd Mom to my son Mark, he stayed there often….what a nice lady.
Treasure all the good times and good memories..they will get you through.
My deepest sympathies goes out to Carole’s family. She was one very unique Lady. It was an honor for me to call her my friend. I will miss all the talks we shared and the fun we had when we were together.
To Carole’s Family,
Would like to express our sympathy at this time. Sure enjoyed knowing Carole over the years. What a great person. Will miss her especially at tax time. She told me many times that when she won the lottery I would be the first person she would call. Thanks for the memories over the years.

The best time we had was when we stole Matts car from the grocery car and hid it down time, also the busy Friday’s in the deli. Thanks for the memories we will never forget her.

To the entire Craig family: We have known Carole for many, many years and always enjoyed running into her from time to time. She was always such a nice lady. You and your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Carol is now at peace in her resting place with her husband and son now. We will miss her. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Mrs. ” C ” was such a wonderful woman. I have such fond memories of her growing up and hanging out with Howard at their house. Whenever I would come over Mrs. C would be at the kitchen table watching TV. She is missed so very much.
