Bryce and I send our love and deep condolences on the loss of your beloved husband, Warren. For our 30 plus years at Knowlton Presbyterian Church we have looked forward to seeing you every Sunday! You of course came to KPC long before we did. We are so sorry that Warren struggled for many years with illness. Getting to see him at church occasions was always a real treat! His constant smile and good nature will always be remembered fondly. And of course, who could forget his beautiful blue eyes that sparkled with joy! Joan, you are a wonderful example of a wife who faithfully cared for Warren and upheld him in prayer. Your love for Warren is an enduring legacy of his life well lived, and a loving example to your children and grandchildren. God truly blessed the two of you with a lasting love! May God cover you with His wings of love and peace at this time of great loss. We are praying for you, your children and grandchild.
Sincerely,
Bryce & Melissa Craig
