Craig Antol Obituary

Always loved never forgotten

I was visited by you the other day.....at The Frolic Room on Hollywood Blvd. The clock read 11:11 and Picture by Kid Rock came on. I felt your presence. Thank you for the reassurance that I have and will continue to be the success I am today. I am sorry most of my family will never be in my life again, but I know you understand. Grateful to have a father like you to learn from. Again, thank you for the visit. Think of you everyday. <3

Was thinking about you and our times together. I did not know you passed away.
This is very heart breaking.
Gone too soon.
You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Wow! I remember writing in here when this page first became available. 12 years almost! Going through these pages brings back so many memories. I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I see so much of you in my son, Daniel. He reminds me of you in so many ways. He has some of the same looks you had, same toes, same personality. He talks about you all the time and asks a lot of questions. He loves to say, "Tell me about Uncle Craig." He wishes he met his uncle. How much I wish you got to meet them! I wonder how you would be with them. Anthony is a little ham and is doing really good on his own. He is everything you were. My kids absolutely adore him...especially Daniel! I say a pic of you the other day on Facebook while I was in the car with them. I looked over at Daniel and I swear I saw you! I showed Wyatt the picture and he said, "That's my friend." I shed a few tears and I saw Daniel looking at me. I told him how much I miss you! Just letting you know I'm thinking about you! I love you always!

Kerri

I Love You

There is not a day that passes I don't think about you. Oh how I wish I could just hold you for a moment,I would never let you go. Why didn't I hug you and kiss you and tell you how much I love you a million times more then I did? If only I could. I will miss you every day of my life till I see you again.
Mom

Dear Son,
I was sitting here tonight and just had to put into word's what my heart is feeling. What an amazing man ,person and son you were. I just didn't see those qualities through all the rough times you had. But I see them now. We were not the best of parents but you never once made us feel like we failed. You never hurt us in such a way and if anything you played down anything we did do that parents should not do. And I realize what a stand up guy you were for that.It was because you loved us that you never wanted to make us feel we failed. I think you always knew it would end the way it did and you didn't want to leave us feeling any worse than we do. That, my son is the greatest gift you gave us. Everyone knows their mistakes in life but it takes a real man and son like you to try and ease that for us.
I love you and thank you for being my son for the way too short time you were and only wish you were here to tell you this. I know if you were here you would be one of the greatest men in my life. I love you and miss you always. mom

I'll love you and miss you always. Not a day goes by I don't think of you. Xoxo

Dearest Son,
Its been a long time since I wrote on this site and yet it seems like yesterday that all this came to pass. Nine years such a long time but not for the pain. It is a pain that stays a life time, it just numbs a bit with time.I miss your smile and the way you could make me laugh although your son has your humor and we laugh a lot together.Christmas is upon us again and we will feel the missing link to the chain. It never will feel like it was before. How I wish you could see the niece and nephews you have and they know their crazy funny uncle, but we share a lot with them about you and we keep your memory alive. You would be very proud of your son right now. He has come a long way this past year and all in the right direction. I have my melt downs when I am alone and I know your there with me feeling just as sad as me. Remember the love we have for you. We'll never forget you. I love you, mom

Happy Birthday to a wonderfull son who I miss more then words can express. If you were here I would have you over for dinner and make you your favorite meal and have a beautiful birthday cake with your name on it, but that can't be. I'm just a brokenhearted mom with a dream that can't come true. But the love is there and that can never be taken from me. I will think about what may have been and what you would be like on this birthday and miss you every second. I love you honey and miss you so. mom

My heart, my son. Love you more then words can express and who said it gets better is wrong. Every day I miss you and the melt downs are still there but thank god for great sisters of yours and great grand kids that I continue on. Love you and miss you always. mom

Not sure why.... but today as I was getting ready for work... I thought of you Craig. Then... thought of when I sent your sis (Kerri)a friends request on Facebook. It had been quite a few years since I spoke with her. She accepted. I asked how she was doing, what she was up to... and how you were doing. That's when I learned... found out. Shocked was and is still an understatement. To Anthony... your son. Anthony.... what I will never forget about your father..... my memory..... his infectious laugh! Always a smile on your fathers face. And as you know... we have never met.... but dang kiddo! You look JUST like your father! To the entire Antol family... you are in my thoughts always.

Hey brother! Just noticed it was 8 year ago yesterday that we took our last picture together. It's hanging on our wall. Love and miss you everyday!

just wanted to say I love you. I know you were there among others to greet Adam when he made it to heavens gates. may you both watch over the stopkas and help ease their pain.

It's been so long since I was on this but it still's breaks my heart to see this sight. It's almost as if I don't see it I can block part of the reality of it. Crazy,I know. So much of life is passing with so many things going on and with everyone of them I think, if only Craig were here. My heart breaks everytime I think of how you were not here for the birth of your neice and nephews and how you would of loved them and how crazy they would be about you. How every day Anthony gets older and more like you in his ways and how you would have loved seeing that. I can only hope and pray that what they say is true and you've never left us and have seen it all. Not one day goes by I don't think of you and miss you. I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH. Always know that in your heart that I am with you........Mom

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you so. It can be a good day and a sudden saddness and heaviness comes over my heart and its the pain of loseing you. You are missing so much in life and it breaks my heart you can't share it with us. You will be forever in my heart and on my mind. I will love you and miss you always until Im with you once again. What I would give just to see your face and hear your voice once again. You will always be my baby. mom

I miss you and love you dearly. Happy Birthday son. I can still see your smile and smell your cologne and I know your here with me. The loss just never goes away. I love you. mom

Merry Christmas angel. You are loved and missed. Anthony had a good Christmas. It would make you happy. I love you. Mom

My Dear Son, So much sorrow in my heart today and everyday. Never really gets better but you know that.I feel your pressence so often and I know your there.I know you hear me talk to you at night. How I wish I could perform a miracle and have you here for us but i can't. I guess Craig, when you hear and see everyone complain about their lives you must think "if only I had just five minutes on earth to hold my son and see my family once again" it must break your heart how people can complain. You realize how trully lucky they are.I love you dearly and whenever I feel sad, I think about those word's you said to me the time you called me from the ER at Lutheran Gen Hosp. and I realize that was your good bye to me. I miss you son and will be there with you some day. Mom

Thinking of you today- as I do every day.

I love you.

-Amanda

I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU.

I love you and miss you so. Why is life so sad Craig ? Tell god he has alot of explaining to do when I get there. Life is just too hard. I love you son....mom

Miss you every single day.

I love you.

Amanda

Thinking alot about you and missing you as always. Wish you were here with us.Love you so much.
mom

I think about you all the time. Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind, but I know you know that. Easter was the same...the piece of us was missing. So I go through the motion's but it will never really be as it was before. Anthony is doing so good. What a fine young man he has turned out to be, you'd be so proud. I love you and miss you so much. mom

I was thinking about you today. Can you believe Anthony is 15?? He's doing sooo good, playin volleyball, grades are good and he has lots of friends. I know you watch over him and that makes me feel good. I'm signing him up for driving classes tomorrow, please keep him safe. We miss you and I know Anthony misses you dearly. We love you!

Miss you and think about you every day. Love you dearly. mom

Why my angel aren't you here celebrateing your 40th birthday with us all? Why is life so damm unfair? What I would give to see you and the man you would be at this time in your life. Here your mom is getting older and older and you my angel will be forever young. Tomorrow like I do every year I will remember that day 40 yrs. ago when you came into this world and I will miss you terribly as I do every day. So much saddness here, when you see Chuck take him under your wing because i think he will need a friend very much when he realizes what he has left. How I wish you were here but I will have to wait for that time when mother and son will be together once again. Until then I love you and miss you so much.....mom

Hi Craig, Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you. Merry Christmas. I hope that my Uncle and you are together having some laughs. Love you! Miss you!

My Angel Friend

You lift me up each day,
Even though you've gone away.
Your Spirit dances in my mind,
In my heart, and, in my soul.
The life you lived, The Love you left,
The one's you've touched, We won't forget.
You give us strength in time of need,
My Friend, My Angel Friend.

We shared good times through the years.
In my heart and soul you're here, with me,
My Friend, My Angel Friend.

I hear you whisper in the wind,
Piece by piece our hearts will mend.
The dreams you've shared will carry on,
Here and now, and beyond.
And the world will smile, for you were here.
The gifts you brought we'll hold them dear.
I'll take you with me, 'til we meet again,
My Friend, My Angel Friend.

And We'll share good times from now on,
In my heart you live on, with me,
My Friend, My Angel Friend.

I miss my Friend.

Thank you for being a blessing in our lives! We love and miss you.

I was not fortunate enough to know Craig but I know he is a wonderful man that blessed all of your lives. I am Laura's friend and am so very sorry for her and her family's loss of Craig who clearly meant a lot to this world. I pray for you to feel his spirit this Christmas and each and every day.

Hi Craig, I believe i have only written on here once. So i thought i would write again. I miss you tons. Like you don't even know. Dad jokes around saying that you mess with things in the house just to mess with us. Which is really funny. Cause i believe it. I love you Craig. <3 <3

My Darling Son Craig,
It's been so long since I wrote but you know no matter what you are on my mind and in my heart every moment of the day. Everyday I watch the video Amanda had made of you and all of us. I love to see the smile on your face and see how happy you were, it warms my heart. And the love for Anthony in all the px of him and you is amazing to see. As you know today is Anna's birthday and I wish I had the power to give her the greatest gift possible and that would be to see you again. That would be the ultimate for us all. Just always know, and I think you do, that so many people love you and miss you and think of you constantly. Your so loved. I miss you terribly..Love Mom

Thanks for beating me up in my dream the other night!!! What was that all about?

Love,

Sister aka bunching bag!

I wish I had met you but I want to tell you that your sister Laura misses you so much & loves you so much and she goes thru many sad times without you. Please stay near her & cheer her in whatever special way that you can.......perhaps make the lights go off or on so that she's reassurred that you are happy & content in heaven and your always w/her. Hopefully I will meet you one day and I'll help you keep your eyes on her.....she is special as you are. :)

love you dad!!

Craig,
On Your Birthday

No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from friends who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart

Love,
Anna

I love you and miss you terribly. mom

Craig -
I can't believe it's been 5 years. Time passes but you are missed and loved by everyone.
Love,
Anna

It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then
you never die.

5 years ago today you left us... THAT forever changed my life.

I can't believe it.

I miss you more and more with every passing day. Time doesn't make it easier... just makes it more real.

I wish every single day you were here... and always wonder about how different things would be if you were.

I know you are with us. I feel it.

I love you more than I could every verbally express... so I hope that you can get a visual inside my soul to know just how much I love you.

Miss you. Love you. :(

Amanda

MY dear Son Craig,
Today with a heavy heart I will be leaving for Mi. for a few days, The trip is always so hard now that I'm alone, because all my time driving is spent thinking of you. Tomorrow marks the day of the saddest day of our lives and I hope it goes well . Like Ronnie says from (friends of lost loved ones) be good to yourselves...for Craig. I know more then anything you want us to go on and enjoy our lives and I'll keep that in mind this coming week, but know this. Not a day in my life goes by that I don,t think of you and remember something about you , and a day will never pass that I won't. I miss you and love you dearly, my angel. mom

My Dear Son,
I cried all the way home from Michigan yesterday, couldn't stop. Just thinking about you and all your missing. The birth's of the niece and nephew you'll never know and the growing up of your wonderfull son. It all just breaks my heart. This is such a difficult time of year, what should be happy is so lacking for me and I'm sure everyone else. Just not the same.I love and miss you always. I love you son...mom

Just wanted to say I love and miss you every single day...

it just doesn't get any easier...

Christmas, December, Winter... it'll never ever be the same.

Love you, Craig.

Amanda

My Dear Son,
Holidays are approaching once again and emotions are high.It's the time when everything is to the forefront again. The memories just kill us all in spirit.For me, everyday is sometimes still a effort to just try and go on like before. But as December approaches, it brings it all out in force. Maybe 10 years from now things will be better.All I know is that I miss you all the time. Their are memories of you always around me . I love you and hope and pray you are at peace. I love you son....mom

I miss you so much every day. I love you dearly and wish I could be with you again. You are always in your mom's heart, and I know you know that. Love you so much....mom

Just wanted to let you know that Anthony got all A's on his report card and made principals list! He is a smarty pants just like you!

I love and miss you every day!

Thinking about you alot every day. Missing you terribly every moment. You are in my heart and on my mind always. I love you son....mom

Miss you each end every day.

I love you.

Just a line to tell you how much I love and miss you every day of my life. Wait for the day I will be with you again. I love you Craig.....mom

My angel,
We miss and love you every moment and you always are in our thought's. Anthony is here now and you are in all our conversations. Yesterday we were in Elmwood park area and discussing you....all good ,he like us, miss you terribly. He is so tall now, taller then grandma nd soooooooooooo handsome, just like his dad. He's going to be just fine in life, you'll be proud. Love you son and keep you close to my heart everyday. I love you.....mom

I haven't written in a while and I feel guilty for that. I am sorry- yet even though I don't write to you like before it doesn't mean you aren't on my mind always.

I wish you were still here. We went and saw Kid Rock the other day and I thought about how you probably would've been there too... and it feels unfair that we are down here enjoying all this... and you aren't. I know wherever you are right now is 8 millions times better than what we have here on Earth, but it still stings.

I miss you and I love you more than you know... then again, as mom says, you probably hear and feel everything we do so I am sure you KNOW just how much.

Talk to you soon. I love you.

Amanda

DAD!!!! happy fatehrs day i miss you sooooo much! i love you

Happy Fathers Day my angel,
Miss you so and wish you were here with all of us. Things will never be the same again. Just know that you are loved and missed every day and know that your son will always be alright. I love you son, mom

My Dear Son,
Just to say I love you and miss you and think of you always. Dad and I were both crying yesterday thinking and talking about you and us and how are lives are so changed, but then you heard it I'm sure. That is the only think that keep's me going is to believe with all my heart we all go on, otherwise I don't think I could go on. I love you so and miss you every day. You are always on my mind and in my heart. mom

Hi dad i miss you terrably and i am at skool rite now talking to my friend morgan.It is a good skool day. i am in 6th period and i just was thinking of you so love ttyl for now!!!!!!XOXOXO

Happy Easter my angel,

I know when were all together the chain once again will be complete' and that is what's keep's it bearable. I hope you are at peace and feel the love for you every moment of our lives. I love you son....mom

My Dear Son,
Thinking about you today, like everyday and just wanted to say how much i love and miss you. Kerri is having a birthday party for the little man you never met and it break's my heart that you are missing so much. What i would give to have you there and with us everyday and to enjoy moment's like birthday's. I wish you could have been with your son on his 13th, thank god grandpa was there for him and i think will be there for every year with him. I wish , I wish.....I love you and miss you every day. You are in my heart always....mom

Thinking about you and missing you like always. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thought's. I miss you and love you dearly, my angel......mom

Happy birthday My Angel,
Driving home from Michigan today a song came on the radio named Brandy' It was a popular song in 1973 or 74.It was playing on the radio that day as I drove up. I can remember pulling up in my red volkswagon bug in front of the little house on Winnemac we lived in and seeing you as I walked in the front door in a little blue one piece zippered outfit you always would wear and how happy you were to see me. I don't have alot of memories of you kid's when you were small, but today that song brought a memory very vividly to my mind. Grama say's as you age the memories of our children when they are small fades and she is right. But thank god that my memories of you before that awfull day are so vivid I can close my eyes and see every line in your face. I can even smell you scent almost five year's later. It never get's too easy, the saddness is so over whelming at times I can feel the weight of it in my heart. A song , a place , a memory or even Anthony's voice so like your's can bring it on. I love you and today I will think of that day 38 years ago, that snowy cold day when you entered this world so loved and wanted and keep that feeling in my heart. I miss you and love you so. Happy birthday ba da do do.....mom

Happy Birthday Craig.

I love and miss you terribly.

Hope your birthday up there is absolutely terrific!

~Amanda

You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart

Happy New Year My Angel,
I love you and miss you and want you to know I got the message you sent Anthony last night and I am so happy about what you said. It meant the world to me, what a gift!. It tells me you are ok and watching all of us, I know you are close always. I'm happy you are at peace. I love and miss you so much....mom

Craig -
It has been 4 years and yet it seems like yesterday. Merry Christmas.

Love,
Anna

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAIG.

I'LL BET YOUR CHRISTMAS UP IN HEAVEN BEATS THE ONES WE HAVE DOWN HERE!!!

KEEP US ALL SAFE AND WATCH OVER US.

I MISS YOU TERRIBLY AND LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.
