Warm Memories

First to the Decker Family let me extend my love and support to you in your time of sorrow. I would like to share one memory that has always just stuck out in my mind about Craig and that is when he helped me pass my Spanish class. I was having the hardest time in that class I couldn't remember a single thing, I was to the point that I wanted to drop the class I was so upset at the whole thing. One day I shut myself into one of the practice rooms in the WJHS bandroom and cried till their was nothing left in me.

Well it was just my luck that Craig happened to be walking buy looking for a room to practice in and he saw me, he very calmly knocked on the door and asked if he could come in I said yeah I was getting ready to leave anyway he told me to stay and asked my what was wrong so I told him my whole sob story. He told me not to worry and also that I couldn't drop the class because I was going to pass because he was going to help me and he did and I still say to this day it was because of him that I passed that class with an "A" when I showed him my report card he gave me his signature high five and the biggest hug ever. So I just want to say THANK YOU Craig for not letting me give up on myself. We will miss you!
