Cricket Mead

My Mom used to pat my butt, when I couldn't get to sleep or if I were to get upset. I find that now I should carry on this tradition and start patting my daughters too, so now anytime I do so- I will remember her and smile. I miss her so much already and its only been 12 days- but I know she is looking over me, my family, my aunts, my uncles and my grandma in her most beautiful state and I can't wait to see her again that way. (BUT I will wait- until then i miss her!)

Cricket was always thinking of other people and concerned about them. I'll never forget her generosity and friendliness. She was truly an amazing person. It was a privilege to have known her.

I am a cousin of Cricket's and can remember many happy times as kids growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Cricket's family:
I worked with Cricket many years ago at St. Mary's Emergency and lost touch over time, but I have very fond memories of her. Cricket was always kind towards everyone, and was very loving towards her patients and staff. Our prayers and thoughts are with you through this difficult time.

Dear Matt and Abby - I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Know that I am praying for you and your family. Matt, I'll be nice to you (that will be different) when you come back to work!
Your CPR friend!

I have so many great memories of my step mom. She was such a great person. I will miss her. My dad was lucky to find such a wonderful person and I don't have any idea what my life would have been like without her, or my brothers and sisters. They are all a blessing to me. It's amazing all the people whos life she touched as a nurse.. as a friend.

I know god has a special place reserved for her in heaven.

I met Cricket over 30 years ago when we were both nurse aides working at Holland Home for my mother, Irene Swart. I met her again about 10 years ago when our paths crossed at St Mary's. She was a beautiful, intelligent, and caring woman, and her family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Keith and family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please know my thoughts, prayers, and heart are with you. God Bless
All my love
