Dear Steve & David,So sorry for the loss of your sweet mama. We were out of town and I'm just now looking through old newspapers where I saw Mrs. Newton's obituary. Please know that many people will remember her & your dad with fond memories. She was always so sweet to me whenever our paths crossed.

I played tennis at Ruston High and was fortunate to have Coach Craig as my coach. She was a wonderful coach and mentor to all she had the privilege to teach. I had only fond memories of her and she will be missed.

I spent three years playing tennis for the Bearcats and enjoyed every minute with Coach Craig. She was always encouraging, even to those of us with somewhat limited playing skills. She was an incredibly nice lady, and all of us who played for her appreciated everything she did for us.

Mrs. Craig was an inspiration to all who knew her and especially to her students at RHS. She always had a smile and a twinkle in her eye. She will be missed. May GOD bless her family.

I have many memories of your mom. From growing up around the corner from you all to her being my high school tennis coach. She was a special woman and will be missed! Please know that Chris and I are thinking of both of you.
