Craig passed away peacefully at the General Hospital with his loving brother by his side, on Tuesday, 3 December, 2013. ‘That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible, No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. For the soul there is neither birth nor death, At any time it is unborn eternal and ever existing, It is not slain when the body is slain. As a person puts on new garments giving up old ones, The soul similarly accepts new material bodies, Giving up the old and useless ones. The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, Burned by fire, moistened by water, withered by the wind. It is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same. The soul is invisible, and inconceivable, Knowing this you should not grieve for the body. Spoken by Lord Krishna from the Bhagavad Gita. Love always, Graham.
