I am sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one, They will be missed. May you come to understand Death was never God's original plan for mankind. However due to the disobedience of one man (Adam) we all inherited sin and death. (Romans 5:12). Lovingly Our Creator extends to us once again everlasting life as found at John 17:3. This will be accomplished by means of his Kingdom in which we pray for in the Lord's Prayer. @ ( Mat.6:10 ).

Cole, Collins and family, I am at a loss for words. Still trying to wrap my head around this. Arica was such a breathe of fresh air. Such a beautiful person inside and out. And When Collins came into your world that is when I saw her true colors. Her whole heart and soul was so full of love for your little family. I pray it will grow and flourish and We will keep her memory alive, for you Cole and for Collins. Much love and light your way. We will be with you every step of the way! We love you, Kris and Tom Devlin

We are so sorry for your loss. We can't even find the right words to express how heavy our hearts are with sorrow. Watching her grow from a little girl, to watching her on the volleyball court, to a bright, wonderful woman, daughter, wife, and mother has been a blessing for us. May God wrap his arms around all of you and hold you tight in this time of grief.
All our prayers and love-

To Arica's family:
I didn't know Arica or Ashley personally but I graduated from Rossville High in 1979. When I moved back to Topeka in 2003, I started watching RHS sports particularly Volleyball and became aware of the fact that Arica and Ashley were great athletes. I followed their high school careers and then their college careers with Arica at ESU and Ashley at Washburn. I was truly crushed when I read on Facebook of Arica's passing and was so concerned about her husband and daughter but also of the family. Please accept my sympathy at this time and know I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Laureen "Rene" DeBacker Bryant
