THEY DIDNT KNOW CRAIG.THEY NEVER MENTIONED THAT HE SUFFEED FROM DEPRESSION. THEY NEVER MENTIONED HE HAD A MAJOR DRUG PROBLEM.THEY DONT KNOW WHY HE DID IT.I KNOW WHY HE DID IT . HE JUST DIDNT WANT TO GO BACK TO JAIL.I KNOW WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG. HOPEFULLY THATS THE END OF IT.THAT DAY DESTROYED SO MANY FAMILIES.I DONT AGREE THAT MY SON IS A DANGEROUS CRIMANAL. IT WAS A SPUR OF THE MOMENT THING.HIS WIFE IS BRAVER THAN ME.IM GOING TO FIND IT HARD TO EXCEPT THAT MY SON WAS A DANGEROUS CRIMANAL.ALL I CAN REMEMBER IS THIS GREAT KID THAT RANG ALL THE TIME AND HIS BEAUTIFUL SMILE.I WILL HIS LAST WORDS  ALWAYS HANG ONTO THE LAST WORDS HE SAID TO ME.THE LAST WORDS HE SAID TO ME WERE YOU ARE THE BEST MUM IN THE WORLD.BOY DRUGS DESTROY FAMILIES

    Wendy, it isn't just doing drugs that destroys families. My daughter and boyfriend and friend were selling drugs and because of greed ended up in a situation that I never would have believed could happen. She is not a dangerous criminal either, just a very stupid kid. But she is in prison with mentally ill, and maybe people who are dangerous criminals. But people don't look at what they were, they just see the crime. We are not excusing what they did, we are just their moms loving them despite their crimes. Jesus loved the criminal on the cross and forgave him as he forgives us. Not one of us who walks this earth is perfect. We can try but that is it. We just have to ignore the news and those who would persecute us and carry on. I hope things get better for you and yours. love, sharon
