Cricket was, above all, brave. Braver than I, and stronger. And honest. Loving, intelligent and incredibly talented, as all of us who knew her would agree. Faced with climbing out of a deep hole, she laced up her boots and started up the path, when many of us would have given up. We're proud of both of our daughters for the courage they've shown. ----- Our world will be a profoundly duller one , our lives more colorless, without our faerie queen. ----- We hope you all will share something special about her here; I could go on forever --- but then I'm her mother. ----- And we hope you will all think first, and tell your loved ones twice, not to put themselves at risk. We don't need any more tragic accidents. Of any kind. ----- Cricket knows how much she's loved, and I feel blessed to have nestled her under my heart and, with her Daddy, watched the joy she took in her own children. ----- ----- Godspeed, Baby Girl. Godspeed.
