- craig was the nicest kid i ever knew. I think Jay's lyrics to Just Yesterday some up mine, and every1 elses fealings.
"When I close my eyes I see you, when I open them I see where time has gone. Oh I miss you and I wish that you were with me now. Though it's over all our memories linger on."
craig touched so many people. Tomorrow there is a concert in his honor, all proceeds are going to his memorial fund.

- It has taken me a while to come to grips with this terrible shock. I wake up thinking that this bad dream can not be real. I marvel at all of your wonderful and special attributes, yet wonder why you are not here. Your smile, oh that very special smile, your giggle, and yes that uncanny ability to make everyone fell so loved and cherished. I was so very fortunate to have you in my life, although too short, but with such a special inpact. I always considered you one of my sons and will always have that special place in my heart for you! You might not have realized the powers you had, but you were able to teach people of all ages how to live, love and be kind to all of mankind. My heart aches for your parents,friends and family, but it also beams with pride and joy that you touched us all. I love you and will never let you out of my life.
Love Mitch

- Craigy I miss you more and more each day. Everything is so hard when you're not here, I can't function properly. I try to smile and get through the days because I know that's what you want me to do, but it just doesn't feel right. Knowing how many people love you helps as every day passes, but the emptiness I feel will never be fulfilled. There are no words to describe how influental and amazing you are. I love you so much, and I just wish I had the chance to tell you again. If any of your friends need anything at all, I would love to help them and take care of them, because I know you would do the same. I guess you were an angel on earth, and G-d needed you to be with him, because that's how special you are. I know you're up there watching down on us and guiding us. We miss you, we love you, we will never forget you.
Rest In Peace

- Craig was an extraordinary human being. His kindergarten teacher's description was true to the very end..."Craig is a sweet and kind boy." I had the good fortune to know Craig better than most students at Wheatley as he played a key role in our Dialogue Night and Parent Decide programs. Craig always had valuable ideas and an infectious enthusiasm that gave all of us hope. I miss Craig as a student and friend. Love, Mr. Simon

- Although last summer was my first as a counselor at Pontiac, I was fortunate enough to meet Craig. I signed up to play in a soccer league with couselors. I didn't know everyone on the team, but after watching Craig play I was stoked--I thought hey, our team is gonna be awesome with this kid! The few games we got to play together he made an effort to say hi. He even passed the ball to me, despite the fact that I was a girl! Thanks Craig for all the memories...Pontiac will not be the same without you! ~RIP~

- I did not know Craig while he was with us, but after reading so many heartfelt passages I feel like I did. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and to so many of you who were deep touched by Craig Grumet. These memorials being written to him are helping me understand the capacity of how special he was. I truly believe you all when you say that he will never be forgotten because he seems like an unforgettable kind of guy. I wish I had the chance to know him and be impacted by him the way all of you have been. Thank you for sharing your memories with everyone else. R.I.P. Craig "...now and forever WE will always think of you.."

- To have shared life with Craig was a blessing. He added his warmth and beautiful laughs to everything we did together. A truer friend we'll never find. Every memory is a treasure to hold on to forever. Craigie, I'll always have you in my heart, you taught me so much about how to love and how to live, and how to respect other's needs. You were much more to me than the friend of my children, you were my friend. I hope everyone touched by your love will live life a little kinder, and always find time each day to giggle. The love our families shared is forever. I love you and miss you, and I can see you with your beautiful smile and gigantic red short, eating waffles. Love forever.

- Craig, I always called you my brother and you called me your sister, but until now i never realized that in fact I was the older one. I always looked up to you, and you were always the oen giving me the advice. i remember one time, the summer before 8th grade; i got into a huge fight with my dad at 11:00 the night before the camp bus was to leave. i called you and i was in tears. you told me to hold on and you'd be right over. within 10 minutes you were at my house with your puma sweatshirt and told me if i was ever sad at camp and felt like talkign to you like we did at home, to just think of you and know that everything was going to be okay. i can't express how heart broken I am that I can't call you anymore to cry and you tell me that everyhting is going to be okay. i miss you so much. i love you always and you are forever in my heart. RIP

- Craig is always loved and never forgotten, The Paolino Family
The Just Man,
though he die early,
shall be at rest.
Length of days is not
what makes age honorable,
Nor the number of years
the true measure of life.
Understanding-
this is man's grey hairs.
Untarnished Life-
this is ripe old age.
Coming to perfection in
so short a while,
He achieved long life.
His soul,
being pleasing to the Lord,
He sped him out of
the midst of wickedness.

- Mr. Grumet was kind enough to call me this morning, and he let me know that the guestbook was full. He is currently working on a new website for Craig, but in the meantime, I have cleared the guestbook so more people can contribute.
Don't worry, I saved the previous guestbook; you can access it with the link on the main memorial page ["Click to view Memorial Guestbook - 5/12/04"].
Also, Craig's high school has set up a Memorial Fund. Contributions can be sent to:
Craig Grumet Memorial Fund
The Wheatley School
11 Bacon Road
Old Westbury, NY 11568.
Thanks again to all who have contributed.
