Craig and Kat,
I am a friend of Kat’s mother. In California we were touble makers together. We still confide in each other, so when she told me what your beautiful family is fighting I knew what to do. We pray for you every night. You and your family. You will have the strength you require and your family will have the courage to see you through. Watch out now! Here comes that “Happy Ending”.
Hi Craig, maybe you don’t remember me. i’m Kat’s aunt(her dad’s sister). we met once at chinese near year dinner. i still remember your cheerful face. you are such a strong man, have a lovely family and so many good friends, and now also with Katrina by your side, i’m sure you will get thru all difficulties. Katrina,love you always. my prayers with you and Craig always always!

Tears of joy [and I am shaking,] with your wonderful news. You BOTH deserve to hear some good news for a change. Wow, Gary must have been doing a really great job. Congratulations, you are going home for the holidays.
Love you Both very much
Hi Craig and Katrina,
We love you and think of you every minute.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
No, I did not get another speeding ticket on the way back!!
Mom and Dad
Hi Craig–I know your mom and dad and they’ve probably told you to vote for me for City Council
Your family has way too much good karma banked to let this be anything more than a speed bump in life! A son of our friends in San Clemente was your age, healthy, recently engaged at the time, and out of the blue got a brain tumor. He had immediate surgery, therapy to recover and is doing so great–you’d never know he went through all that. His wedding last year was a truly joyous event. You have so much to look forward to and there is a lot of love in Dana Point for you and your family. We’re all pulling for you.
Hi, Craig,
I don’t know if your mom told you or not, but Andrew McMahon, who graduated from Dana in 2000, also had leukemia. Had, being the operative word here!! It was a rough go sometimes, but he’s a strong guy who, like you, had lots of friends and positive thoughts and prayers backing him up. You may know of him: he’s the piano player and front man for Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin. Just today, he was hanging out with my girls, Amy and Jenny, and some other friends. He’s been on tour for a while and is as strong as a horse. Please know that you are in my prayers, and you will beat this thing!!
Much love, Katrina
craig & kat,

Hey Craig!!!!
I hope you are feeling better. I have been praying for you every day. We are all wishing for your safe (and soon!) recovery!!!
And think, once you are feeling up to it, you and Ali can go make some orange “dranks” or whatever you two say.
Haha! Feel better, you are in my prayers.
Love,
Jenny
Hey Dude
