RELATED: Family Issues Statement On Faith Craig And Walter Bryant Jr. Murders As a friend, she was the best anyone could ask for. She loved to laugh and have fun with her closest friends. She enjoyed spending time doing her favorite hobbies of painting and antiquing with her favorite people. She was always up for anything that would give happiness to others. As an Aunt, she was special. She was kind, caring, fun, giving. So many words have been used to describe her, so it is hard to choose the best ones. She was always there to listen, to share a hug, to share tears, and to laugh. Faith was a beloved wife. She was loving and nurturing and supportive. She was a friend to her husband, Dan. They shared so many special times and interests. They shared many laughs, tears, and joys. They traveled and they had plans to head out to new destinations. She took care of Dan and their home. She worked hard at her job at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for many years. She was respected and missed when she retired. She adored and spoiled her fur baby, Billy. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to make sure Billy was happy and catered to. She was also a Mother. She gave so much to her child. This child was so important to her and she wanted the best for him. She tried her best to ensure that he was happy and nurtured while he was growing up. As he got older, she tried to help him with his issues. She gave everything she had to help him. Gave her money, her time, her heart to him on a daily basis. Gave up her own happiness to try to give him some. She did it without reservation. She did it up to her last breath. We will always remember Faith for her giving soul. For her loving heart. We will do our best to try to forgive those that took Faith from all those that loved her. But we will never forget. We will do our best to continue living in the giving, loving way she would want everyone to do. We will remember her and we will remember Walt and his kindness and his loving heart and his service to this country. Keep the families of Faith Craig and Walter Bryant, Jr. in your thoughts and prayers. In Sincerest Appreciation, Faith’s loving husband, Daniel Craig John and Christine Craig Joseph and Suzanne Craig Robert and Sheila Craig Michelle Craig Combs Theresa and Dester Jett Anna Craig Lyons   RELATED STORIES: Family Issues Statement On Faith Craig And Walter Bryant Jr. Murders Court Docs Detail Mother, Grandfather Murders Son/Grandson, Girlfriend Charged With Aurora Double Murder Services For Two Murder Victims Purple Heart Veteran, Daughter Identified As Double Murder Victims Two Arrests Made In Connection With Aurora Double Homicide
