I thank you for joining our page. I would like to hear your comments and views on what the girls have done and are doing. Craig Ballew died 22 Feb 04 of brain cancer. He worked at Austin Cattle Company and was the executive chef. He had 2 children, Nikki and Myranda. Those that met him loved him. His sense of humor would leave you laughing from the pit of your stomach. He always had a story to tell. Always had time to tell you about Jesus and what He had done for him. He always had time to talk. Once we were at church and he was talking about gifts. When the opportunity arose, I told him I know your gift. The gift of gab. He and the pastor busted up laughing. He loved his children, Nikki being the oldest he worried every time she got near the stove. He would say, "honey dont burn yourself". Or if she would be using a knife, "Honey, please dont cut yourself". Myranda was his tom and jerry buddy. They would sit and watch cartoons for hours. She is forever saying I want my pappa back. Please post your views/comments. Say YES that you will join us on our walk. The walk that might stomp out brain tumors in our life time.

This is JoAnn, Craig’s wife.
