Craig Paul Carpenter
Craig was in his final year at sunderland university studying sports and science. He was fit , energetic and had a zest for life before being struck down with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He lived with his mam Denise and brother Andrew. He has a sister Lyndsay and has three nieces Chloe, Sophie and Katie.
He underwent extensive treatment including a stem cell transplant. Craig went into remission for 6 month and the Leukemia returned he was diagnosed again on 22nd December 2005.
Craig took the news on his shoulder and began a battle once more to fight the disease. Sadly infection took hold and on the 20th January 2006 Craig was taken away from his family.
He was a friendly very outgoing character whom everyone knew near and far, he was everyones best mate. Age was no boundary he had friends from 1 to 90. He made people feel at ease and the room lit up when he walked in. Hundreds turned out to his funeral to pay their last respects and say a last goodbye. He is sorely missed by all who knew him and the world is not the same without him.

unable to get on gone too soon on friday so i tried today with success.miss you more than ever 6 years omg cant believe it.
here is a poem i found and it fits you perfectly.
BRAVE SOLDIER
BEFORE THIS WORLD HAD STARTED
BEFORE OUR LIVES BEGAN
GOD ASSIGNED US ALL OUR CHALLENGES
SOMEHARD THINGS TO WITHSTAND
EACH OF US WERE GIVEN
SOME DIFFICULT THINGS TO DO
BUT GOD GAVE HIS BRAVEST WARRIORS
AN EXTRA BURDEN TOO.
SO YOU CAME TO THIS EARTH IN A BODY
THAT BECAME QUITE BROKEN AND ILL
BUT LIFE COULD NEVER TAKE FROM YOU
A SOLID DETERMINED WILL
YOU KEPT YOUR FACE TURNED TO THE SUNSHINE
TRAPPED IN A BODY THAT ONLY KNEW RAIN
AND CHOSE TO SEE THE JOYS IN LIFE
IN SPITE OF CONSTANT PAIN
AND THOUGH YOUR BODY WAS OFTEN CONNECTED
TO NEEDLES MEDICINES AND TUBES
YOU BRAVELY FACED EACH DAY WITH THEM
WHILE EXPRESSING GRATITUDE
FOR THE CHANCE OF SIMPLY BEING HERE
THOUGH TO US IT DIDNT SEEM FAIR
TO SEE SOMEONE AS SPECIAL AS YOU
SUFFER IN A BODY BEYOND REPAIR
SO---- WHEN YOUD HONORABLY COMPLETED
EVERY TRIAL YOU WERE ASSIGNED
GOD CHOSE TO BRING YOU BACK TO HIM
FREEING YOUR SPIRIT AND MIND
AND THOUGH WE WILL MISS YOU DEEPLY
SO CHERISHED AND LOVED WERE YOU
ONE DAY IN HEAVEN WE WILL MEET AGAIN
AND APARTY WE WILL HAVE TOO.
ALL MY LOVE CRAIG FOREVER AND EVER X X X X X X X XX X XX X
I cant believe it has been 6 years! I still see your face every time any coldplay song comes on...your smiling face as you were always smiling. I am arranging a skiing trip this year I am going to take Joshua...he is only three but hey you told me that to learn to ski when your young and you will never forget. I wish you were hear to teach me but I know you will be looking down laughing at me every time i fall on my face.....Miss you Craig...xx
hey you!
Hey Craig
The song gravity came on...and well it reminds me of the day we all said good bye to you! Im sobbing my heart out typing this so excuse the spelling mistakes I cant hardly see. I remember the day you got diagnosed with the cancer at the time you where my boy! I remember stopping at yours or you would stay at mine and you would be up in the middle of the night being ill with a bad back or feeling ill losing so much weight! ( not that you had any mr athletic so sporty!!) and we wouldnt know why...then that day you went to the docs and you rang me at work...me being me answered the phone thinking you wanted to borrow my laptop and I was like yes ill drop it off after work oh and what the doc say expecting something like you had flu...then them words hit me I have cancer and I am going into hosp tonight but you know what babe it didnt knock you back one bit...you said will you please come round n help me back my bag! and I did and you were so strong!!! An inspiration to all. I went to the hosp as much as I could and we grew apart... I still have the letters we sent each other they make me smile so much!!!
I remember near xmas you got to come home and you introduced me to the mince pie with strawberry yoghurt on (any one reading this...you so should try it...heat it up in microwave) AMAZING!!! we had a good weekend then...after that you sent me a letter saying you didnt want us to go on! And well I wasnt to argue after that I seen u in asda in remission then well the rest I heard when it was to late and I dont regert a day that I wish I knew so I could have been to see you! However I know Denise (mam) and Andrew etc would have been there all the way!
I miss you and your smiliy face when I am down..but I know your in a good place and one day Ill see you again- anyway I havnt forgot you will teach me to ski you promised and you no me I always hold you to a promise! xxxxxxx miss u xxxx
So glad i found this page.
You were such an inspiration to me growing up. You looked after me and taught me so much, mainly how to play basketball. Every time i play i still think about you.
I know i was younger than you but that never bothered you, you looked out for me and kept me right and we had some great times.
I miss you mate and I hope you're in a good place.
Love and Peace.
Russell Fraser

Taken From Me
© Angie Flores
I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture.
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future.
Uncontrollable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking God why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everything so clear.
you are apart of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know your up there watching over me.
I miss you more and more everyday
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain
hi darling
not got much desire these days to come on this site it just reminds me you never coming home. cant believe its 4 years it just feels like last week sometime but then some days it feels like a lifetime away.
you would love the girls the ages they are now they are so all individual in their personalities cant believe Katie is 5 this year but she just a little dot, but learning to stick up for herself. Sophie still bouistrous but has such an infectious laugh still has the blonde blonde hair. Chloe is far too old for her age and a madam dreading when she is a teenager she like you very technical minded can turn her hand too anything.
well watch over them for me when i cant be with them.
love you so much babe miss you so much xxx
