The Craddocks were fine people. Mrs. Craddock was very kind. We can never forget her kindness nor the kindnesses and generosity of her children.
Accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved mother.

I wish I could express just how much sorrow I feel in words. Mrs. Craddock's son Van Jr. and his wife Bettye have done things for me far beyond what normal people would. I love them dearly and hope they get through their grieving without permanent scars.
Love You Guys!##imported-begin##Adam Maldonado##imported-end##
Van, Bettye and family,
Words could never express how my heart goes out to each of you. Your Mother was such a special person, not only to my Mother and my family, but to everyone she came in contact with. I am certain she and my mother are having a wonderful "catch-up gabfest" in heaven right now probably over a telephone if possible!. May God wrap you in His loving arms and give you comfort in the upcoming days.
All our love,
Mark and Ann##imported-begin##Ann Forster Jennings##imported-end##
We are thankful that Dorothy was a part of our family. We loved her kindness, good humor and gentle spirit. The family will miss her greatly but, I am sure, all are taking comfort in the knowledge that she is in the arms of the Lord and her loved ones.##imported-begin##Robert Craddock##imported-end##
When we think of Dorothy, we see her happy smile and hear her laughter. She was one special lady!
Please know that each of you are in our hearts and prayers today!##imported-begin##Mary and Charles Curry##imported-end##
Dear Van,
I was deeply saddened to learn of your loss. I know that we have not spoken to each other in years, but I was always proud to say that I knew you before you were famous and based the type of good person that you have always been shows how wonderful your mother was. You and Bettye have my heartfelt condolences.##imported-begin##Calvin Crocker##imported-end##
