My Grandpa Craig was a pretty amazing person from what I've heard. He was certainly dearly loved by his family. He died at the young age of 44 in the process of getting a heart transplant due to cardiomyopothy. My mother was pregnant with me and had just moved into her new house. My sister had known my grandpa in this life and has fond memories of him.
Every year (including the year he died) they have ridden a memorial horse race for him in Malad. Today was the last race. I have enjoyed being able to go to them and remember him on the race track. He loved horses and goodness knows I do enjoy a good race. Here are some pictures of the race and of him.
Grandpa and some of his favorite things. His Chevy truck, his horses, and the pirates.

A pretty flower that I really liked!

Grandpa Craig is the one in the back.

Almost to the finish! The 6 horse won. With the appropriate name "The Widow maker"
I'm sad that after such a good run that it's over but I think it was very well done. I hope that Grandpa would be proud of who I am!
