Ben, BB, and Sabrina, My heart is breaking for yall. I loved Cricket very much and have always cherished the childhood memories we created - from swinging in the backyard and singing 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' at the top our lungs (she always had a beautiful voice and I would stop singing just so I could hear her!) to trekking through the woods to get Uncle Elbert's cow, Suki (we were so afraid of that cow and never took our eyes off of her!) and me, her, and Ben eating boiled peanuts and drinking coca cola on the path in the woods behind the house! Cricket was a wonderful person and she leaves a void in this world, and most of all in our lives, that can never be replaced. Trust in the Lord and His comfort and peace will sustain you. Love to you all, Debbie (Riley) Pace
