A poem by Cassie Jones – 'For my big brother and hero Craig Jones':The Race Is Over
All your life was a great race
And all throughout you set the pace
You were a hero to so many others
But I was truly blessed to call you my brother
For all my life you were there
To make me smile and tell me "cut your hair"
The crash of 2001 made me see
Just how strong you could be
When my prom came you bought me a dress
And thanks to you I looked my best
Mum and dad were always proud
When the people cheered so loud
Kirsty our sister held your umbrella
You truly were a handsome fella
You led a short yet magnificent life
Filled with smiles, but no toil or strife
But now the race is over Craig
For you, my wonderful brother, brave
I imagine you as you should have been
Tearing down the road so black with sheen
Your number 18 will always be
Held up high for the world to see
The race is over for you my brother,
But like you, there will be no other
It's so hard I won't deny
I just want to break down and cry
But when I remember your love
That you now send down from above
I will remember and smile with joy
When I think how you inspired many a girl and boy
Kaz was the love of your life
Promising soon to make her your wife
Jordan and Frank will both miss you
Ben, June and Evi will too
The race is over now my brother
But your memory will be replaced by no other
Stay young and brave wearing your leathers
Goodbye for now by big brother, but not forever
Love always, from your little sister Cass.
