Sandy, Dione, Kensey, JoJo and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren. Know how much Cricket loved each and everyone of you guys. You all as well as myself will miss him immensely. However, viewing him today he looked soooo peaceful at piece and simple beautiful. He no longer had the sickness and sadness; his look was that of peace. So thankful that he knew God and had a heavenly home waiting on him. Hold your heads up; he's healthy and happy and healed; no more pain and suffering because God has given him a brand new life and body. He's finally free. Glory to God.
