Craig Lee Paterson
Lost to us unexpectedly on the 16 August 2006, through a motorcycle accident.
Craig was on his way home one night after a ride out with the boys and didnt make it home.
Craig was only 30 years young, a much loved son of Tilda, annoying big brother to Vicki and adored
Uncle of Keiran. A very tall nephew to Great Aunty Mary and Great Aunty Margaret, and cousin to the
girls, Jen, Karen and Chae. The list continues but is very long...he loved everyone and the feeling
was mutual.
Based out in Crieff after a stint in Perth and Pitlochry Craig was training to be a Paramedic. He
loved his job and thought very highly of his colleagues, who unfortunately had the task of having to
attend to the scene of the accident. He started his medical training when he joined the army in
1998. He came home in 1999 and joined the crew at Perth.
Craig was a great man with a wicked sense of humour. Loved a round of golf, his motorbike and
playing pranks on people. He always made you laugh and took care of the people close to him.
A very gentle giant with a beautiful smile.
Missed more than he will ever know.
R.I.P Craig

Although you are a friend of mine
and Candles we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.
So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

A Rock and a hard place eh Aunty Margaret?? lol
Life just isnt the same without you.

Love you
xxxVicxxx
hey Craig Now are you going to tell Vicks or am I? looks like its going to be me then
Vicks who do you think puts Keiran up to all the funny things he does - you can be guaranteed Craig is the instigator and not just a spectator!!
Love to you all

Had a fab day at the bike show
Hi Craigie-baby, Just wanted to let you know that I had a fab day on Sunday. Although it was a bit chilly, still there were plenty tea stalls. It was a bit eerie when Keiran finished his shot on the wee quad bike and THAT SONG started to play. Me and Vics just looked at each other, your ma said to keiran that Uncle Craig was watching him and that was why his song was playing. You would have been so proud of him, he even waved to us as he was whizzing round, and overtook another wee laddie. Couldn't help but remember you on your mini motorbike when you were a wee lad, playing out in the back garden...it's funny the things you remember isn't it. Well, will be back to speak to you soon...love and miss you, take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
love to you tilda. xxxxxx
If tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise
And find your eyes are filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you loved me
As much as I love you
And every time you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
I hope you’ll understand
An angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready
In heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
I had so much to live for
So much that I should do
It seemed almost impossible
That I was leaving you.
I wish I could have said goodbye
And kissed and seen you smile
I wish I could have stayed with you
Even for a little while.
But then I had to realise
That this could never be
Now emptiness, and memories
Would take the place of me.
But when I walked through heavens gates
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me
From his golden throne.
He said, “this is for eternity
But I will promise you
Although your life on earth has passed
Here life starts anew”
I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last
And since each days the same up here
There’s no longing for the past
My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me
Coz I am truly free
And I will wait for you to come
And share my life with me.
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart.

IM THINKING OF YOU MY FRIEND ON THIS MOTHERS DAY.
a poem written by dawn ferguson for my mate tilda paterson today 2nd march 2008. with love always. xxxxxxx
Mother Day Poem
I came across this poem and thought how apt it was
To my mum from Craig
You were my mother and my friend,
Which was unusual.
Somehow our characters still blend:
Your wisdom and my will.
I turned, and you were there for me;
I spoke, you understood.
I felt cared for, but also free;
You loved, and I was good.
I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you still. Though I am gone,
I live in what you do.
ps thanks Craig for being with Auntie Shar on Friday, love and miss you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mothers...day...xx
Hey hunni, sorry im hijacking your page :)
Love you soo much and missing you incredibly.
Mum...to you from both of us.
She carried me for nine long months,
the birth im sure was painful and icky, but then she went and did it again....
a little sister called Vicki.
Without my mum...i wouldnt have been.
Wouldnt have been here,
Wouldnt have been the man i was.
Without my mum...i wouldnt exist
Wouldnt be here,
Wouldnt be the woman i am.
Proud to call you my mother,
Proud to say i love you.
More proud to say thankyou.
For giving me the strength to be a mother too.
For giving me the most annoying big brother in the world.
For letting me be myself.
Just for being you.
We come to love not by having perfection.
But by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Love you
