April 5, 2014 In Loving Memory of Craig Allen Birkholz 4/5/82 – 3/20/11
If we could visit Heaven even for a day,
maybe for a moment
the pain would go away.
We’d put our arms around you and whisper words so true, that living life without you is the hardest thing to do.
No matter how we spend our days, no matter what we do, no morning dawns or evening falls, that we don’t think of you.
