Its almost a year now Krissy, but your so close. I feel your spirit every day. This is a e-mail to Heaven, this is for you, because I know your listening and watching over us.
Your with all of us every day Krissy (of course you know that because now your Heavenly Powers are Certified.) LOL
No one, who was touch by you, will every be the same, you know that. You left us all kinder people. A unknowing gift I'm sure you were not even aware you gave.
We are making it work with out you, which really stinks. We all have good days and not so good days. Every one watches out for, and protects your family as they all promised you they would. All of us, we are doing are best. Don't worry about every one you love, they are strong, you left them capable, and they are all in loving hands. The support teams are amazing. You can be so proud Krissy. I love and miss you very much

I am so sorry to hear just today about Krissy's passing. She was a good friend and happy presence at Northeastern. I remember when she met David (on a co-op!) and how thrilling the romance was. I remember her lovely family. My heartfelt condolences to you all. She was a beautiful, generous person in all ways.

Dear David, Mrs. McMahon, and KK:
I am so sorry for your loss, having only learned tonight of Krissy's passing. I thought of and prayed for all of you and the girls so often. My last conversation with Krissy was just like the first--full of laughter and high spirits. She was the first person I met at Northeastern and a shining light throughout. My heart is broken for you all.

I just recently found out about Krissy's passing, and I am so sorry. Krissy, myself, and a few other girls literally laughed our way through law school. I don't remember much about the classes, but I vividly picture us giggling our way through civil procedure. I am sure that her daughters know what a beautiful and happy spirit she was. You are all in my thoughts.

I will always remember Krissy's beautiful smile and how her eyes lit up when she was talking about one of her girls. I taught Annie in kindergarten and saw so much of Krissy's spunk and spirit in her. I know that will live on in her daughters. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
