    I knew James only for a short amount of time but he was always pleasant and jovial whenever I saw him. I wish his family and friends the best during this trying time. Remember all the good times you had together and keep James’ memory alive! Peace and Love!

    Craig was the first soldier in the KIZZ army I ever met. He was a great fan of music which naturally endeared him to me. In fourth grade, he turned me (and any other classmate that was listening) onto Steve Millers’ Book of Dreams. Craig was a gentle giant who was fiercly loyal to not only his family but his friends. He made this clear to me quite early in life, and it was never forgotten.
    Not so long ago, we had the pleasure of briefly reconnecting. It was clear he was growing tired, I thanked him for that early kindness. He may not have known it, but anytime we were in one anothers company, someone had his back. I will not forget Craig. We didn’t spend alot of time together but we were kin. Kelly, you know this but, Craig loved you as much as a man has ever loved a woman and death not ends it. Cherish the sweetness of the memories until your spirits gloriously intertwine!
    with love and much respect,
