My heart is saddened to lose a very good friend like you Kriss. I will miss the funny e-mails you always send. We went through alot of years together, the laughing, crying and getting into trouble. You will be missed so much.

" I will always remember the love she had for me when I would come visit my dads for the weekend. I remember the Betty Boop and the laughs we would share. Those great dogs of hers and Elvis for sure & Nightmare on Elm Street Rentals from Blockbuster =)Truly a wonderful loving spirit. Her joy definitely had a way of spreading to everyone around her. She will always be loved and dearly missed."

Kriss was truly the sweetest kindest person, my heart is broken. She always thought about what she could do to make you laugh and that was only one of her best qualities. I'm going to miss our talks on the phone and laughs. She was a shinning star that now is gone which makes the night sky and world a much dimmer and quieter place. I'll miss you sis.( She made me an honorary sister ) Thats how she was . Thank you Jamie for taking the time and letting me know. My most heartfelt sympathanies to the entire family,God Bless.
