My dearest thoughts and prayers be with the family. Cricket was a special man whose heart could reach rainbows and beyond. Red oak mountain won't ever be the same ... I will miss seeing him each and everyday next door always checking on me when his brother wasn't home. Cricket god had other plans than your cruise back to red oak but you took the cruise of a lifetime with open arms of Jesus and your mom and dad . Rest easy my friend and we will watch out for your true love Alice as you will watch out for all of us. See ya one day on the other side of glory land .
