Don and Karen, Again, my deepest condolences on your loss. Earlier this morning, I thought that "Trains" might be Don & Craig, but didn't have time to confirm it. Your posts here about the progress on your layout have been inspiring to me. Your love and grace were always so deep, caring, and peaceful. Craig is now at peace, with no pain--a soul and spirit that is released and unblemished. Jeanne and I wish you peace in this time of grief, and will project our prayers into the heavens. Pete and Jeanne
I can't even begin to imagine how you feel at this time. My condolences and prayers to your family, and a reminder for us all to keep contributing to the Muscular Dystrophy Association so that research can continue to find a cure. With enough contributions, perhaps someday such sad news will be a thing of the past. Craig is now at peace, his soul free and beyond earthly worries.
I usually run away from posts like these, I do the same in my family by running away from death. But as I watched my new daughter grow in the last year I can't image the pain you must feel. A parent losing a child...there are no words. The sorrow you must feel...
Karen and I would like to thank everyone on the TrainBoard for the thoughts and prayers. We printed them out and put them in a book to remember all the great people out there. Craig really like trains, it is to bad he didn't get to see his N scale layout done. We have a 4 year old nephew that will take over as engineer on the Colorado & Rio Grande RR.

Don and Karen, If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know. I'd love to come up to Omaha, and help finish the layout. I've lost a brother-in-law to MS, at age 30. The love we gave to him just made the loss harder to live through. The more love you give, the harder is the loss. I always enjoyed the Don & Craig posts, because I could see the love behind them. Thank you for sharing those posts. It's been a long while since David died, but it still hurts every time I think of him. Such a beautiful, bright boy, trapped by a pernicious disease. But his soul is with his family forever. Please, if you like some help finishing the layout for the "littler engineers," just let me know.
I will also send my heartfelt sympathy .. I followed many of your postings on Atlas for a long time, and can appreciate the time you put into the hobby with your son . Every minute that we can share with our children when they are young is a blessing.
