Katherine Helen Young Craig, 20    CUMBERLAND -- Katie Craig of Cumberland left us on April 5 during the most lovely snowstorm of the season. A student at Williams College and a graduate of Greely High School, Katie was a beautiful, creative and frisky spirit who brought joy and laughter to all who knew her.      We watched in awe as Katie pursued her passions for art, Nordic skiing and the natural world with a talent and intensity that few could ever hope to match. Most importantly though, Katie's life was anchored by a deep and reciprocated love for her family and many friends in Maine, England and beyond. She inspired us all and the hole she leaves in our hearts is impossible to describe. Wendy (Mom) and Will (brother) thank their wonderful family, friends and neighbors for such incredible support.      We would like to share an excerpt from Katie's favorite children's book Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm written by Alice and Martin Provensen. In a quiet corner of an overgrown field, the snow lies deepest and the oak trees hold their leaves all winter...Here, the best wild flowers grow and the first peepers are heard in the spring, even before the snow melts. Here, owls call from the treetops in the early morning and the irreverent crows hold their noisy conventions. Here, the mother deer has her fawn, and the migrating geese can rest. It is here that Katie and her father Robbie are at peace. It is here that we can visit them.     A service for Katie will be held at St. Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church, 43 Foreside Rd., Falmouth, on Friday April 13, 2007, at 3 p.m. Private burial will be at a later time. Arrangements are by Lindquist Funeral Home, One Mayberry Lane, Yarmouth.    In lieu of flowers, please offer     donations to:     Ingraham Volunteers     50 Monument Square - Fourth Floor     Portland, Maine 04101;     National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI Maine)     1 Bangor Street    Augusta, Maine 04330-4701;     or The Center for Grieving Children     Attn: Development Director    P.O.
