I am Lyle Decker's only sister and aunt of Craig. He was in my home along with his family for a Christmas dinner 2007. As soon as he entered my home, there was joy and 'light' that radiated the living room and kitchen. He was so cheerful, funny and down to earth. I have 5 sons and 6 grandchildren who were able to be influenced by Craig for a few special hours and will remember him for his amazing personality and of course, the 'hook' also.
It has been emotional for me to watch the courage, stamina and peace of mind which Craig's parents and family have shown during this difficult time. I have such high admiration for the example of faith, service and love demonstrated throughout the 3 days of mourning and waiting for Craig to be found.
As his aunt and Lyle's sister, I want to express my sincere love and gratitude for being able to be there to support them and will continue to. Craig lived a life like our Savior would want each of us to, and I will treasure my memories of him especially his last visit here at my home with my sons and grandchildren. Thanks Craig for all you contributed to each of us.
