Aunt Joyce & Family,
Krissy was such a special person. She was strong and kind, self-less and giving. She taught us all something about how to love. Through her illness, I've never seen someone with such courage and faith. We will all miss her.
Love,
Bruce & Diana

I never met Krissy--that's the name she used on OKBRIDGE--where we first partnered about ten years ago. I loved conventions and she liked KISS--Keep It Simple, Stupid. My many emails with system explanations were summarily fended off. She had a great attitude about bridge, being an oncology nurse who saw death on a regular basis--NO BIG DEAL perfectly described the game. I do recall speaking to her once over the phone a long time ago, and in that conversation she expressed disappointment that some doctor could not get serious enough to propose to her after initial promising getting-to-know-you overtures had occurred. She dumped me, as a bridge partner, and she was right to do so. My exotic, shall we say, bidding was not making her look forward to games, and frankly, I didn't want to play an ancient history bridge system. Years passed. Then recently--in the last year--at the website, I asked her to play again, agreeing to use her system. She agreed, and that led to phone calls. I have SKYPE--an over the internet phone system that is easy to use and exceedingly inexpensive--and I called her. It was at this time that I learned about her health situation and her travails with medical insurance coverage infuriated me. (Read my article on the Huffington Post on HEALTHCARE
http://blogger.huffingtonpost.com/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&id=91781&blog_id=3) We started to play again, and she got mad at me a few times for some bids I made--and I had promised myself not to get too inventive, and failed! But I continued to call her and diplomatically ask her if she needed a partner and she would say "yes" and we would play a tournament at 7pm, her time. Sometimes good results, sometimes not worth mentioning, shall we say. As time went on, it was clear that Krissy was deteriorating as a partner. Her bridge logic was going down the tubes, and her speed of play made a snail look like a roadrunner. Exasperated opponents were constantly asking her to play faster. I would offer them the excuse that she had "mouse" problems--it was sometimes true. I "hate" slow play, but I knew why she was slow, and I never cared about our score or said a word in annoyance at her tempo. And, as I write this, I am tearing up, damn mad that I won't have the opportunity to play more bridge with Krissy or hear her voice over the internet. 60 years and ONE month--A ROTTEN UNDERBID! The best to Joyce and Krissy's family relations.

Mom,
I had no idea that this would be so hard. I know that you are in a better place with those that we love and have lost before. I will miss you everyday, but know that you will be with us in a way we can not understand.
Love,
Jennifer

Jody, I'm sorry that it took the loss of Kris for me to contact you. I have thought about you a lot over the past few years and wondered what happened to you. I saw Kris a few weeks ago at home and she was setting in her den talking and giving orders to my newphew. She was so funny and a good person. I prayed a lot for Kris because she was such a good person. She is at rest now and in a better place. They say God only takes the best. Please give me a call at 804-346-3283 or email me at [email protected]. Please keep in touch.
Love ya,
Sandra Hudson
