"I'll Let You Know if You Can Lend Me a Hand"

Craig was one of my classmates at WJHS as well as one of my roommates for a Summer Term at BYU in 2005. During that Summer, I remember general conversations I had with Craig. I can't recall exactly what was said, but I do remember he would always listen intently on what I had to say and respond to it insightfully whether it was about dating, school, or spiritual matters.

Another thing I remember about Craig was his constant, positive attitude. In January 2007, I was working at LDS Hospital when he had his accident. I was lucky enough to be working the day after he had his surgery. In a short visit with him and his family, I could tell that he was taking everything remarkably well. He was smiling and cheerful, and I thought to myself, "How does he do it?" As I walked out of the room, I told him that if he needed anything to let me know. His response was, "I'll let you know if you can lend me a hand."
