  1. Terry always supported my business and wore my New creation design with pride. We often say in the park and talked about his Love for his family (and when he was getting next job😇

  2. To the Crayton Family: We are so sad and our hearts are heavy with the passing of your son and brother: Terry Craton. We’ve known him most of lives–growing up together in Meadowview and attending SAISD schools together–and his demise has left a void in our lives. Terry’s always been a happy, funny, full of life, kind and loving man. In particular, in recent years his value has immensely been to the original remaining elder Meadowview neighbors. He made it his mission to look out for and assist them in every way possible. And, he did. Simply put, its hard to believe that he’s gone. With respect and love in our hearts, we bid Terry Craton a fond adieu. Our hope is that these words of comfort, and your faith, will help you adjust to life without your precious family member. 💙🙏💙 Lovingly Submitted, Minnie L. Dilworth & Family Clifford & Charlotte Forney
