My Niece was too young to die. She was just a baby. She had a lot of Special Gifts to give to this world.
To say I "Miss her Everyday ", is an understatement.
Our hearts remain Shattered...
Only God knows WHY.

You all are such great people with the biggest hearts and do not deserve to have to go through something so difficult, but you have so many people that love you all to help you through this, along with Kristen watching over you. Kristen was a BEAUTIFUL, fun loving girl and will NEVER be forgotten and has left a mark in SO many people's hearts. I will never forget her straight forward remarks, and her doing impressions of the grinch and my cousin vinny, haha. I love you Kristen Ashley DeGroff and miss you so much.
I love you all, and you guys know that I will ALWAYS be here for you at any time of any day just as I know you would be for me.

Kristy,
I miss you so much i cant take you not being here.this is the hardest time ever.i cant take not hearing your voice again.I have your clothes and your room but i promise not to get anything on them.I know you cant read this but it helps me let my feelings out. Im putting this on your grave cause i love and miss you too too much me and rach cant believe it your laugh your smile your face your beautifulness is gone but its still in our hearts you have touched a lot of peoples lives especially mine.I am so upset that your gone forever.But i know that there will be a day we will meet again.Yor kisses your hugs your laughs and your beautiful smile is missed.But i have been told that our bodies are like a house where we live in it for a while and then we feel like its old and to get out of it .
Things are like crazy people arent the same because you were like the world to everybody.I know we didnt get to say bye to eachother so nows the time to do that "I love you BYE".Kristen when you were sick and hurt from the car accident i know it was painful so you couldnt take it so you to Gods hand.We all now your at peace and happiness now because your playin games with us like you said.
but we all understand that life is too short to argue and fight.You were an amazing girl and thats why god needed you.I love you baby girl and i miss you!
Love,
Han

Kristy, I love you so much sweetheart. Nothing is going to be the same without you. You were such a unique human being. No one could ever take your place. I miss you making me mad, stealing my clothes, breaking into my room, making me take my shirt off that i was wearing cause you wanted to wear it and said it looked better on you, making me pick you up @ 4 in the morning. Everyone cares about you kristy. All your friends and boyfriend miss you dearly. This has got to be the toughest thing i have ever had to go through, but it will get better in time. Please watch over me han mom and dad, guide us to make good decisions, and be there to protect us when we need you the most. I feel you around me every day, but it will never be the same as seeing your beautiful face. You always said you were so pretty, and you were right. You were one of the most gorgeous girls I have ever seen. I miss you so so so much and it sucks without you here. You were my joy in every single day. I can't wait to see you again. I love you, Your Big Sis Rachie <3

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
Do not stand at my grave and mourn.
I am the dew-flecked grass at dawn.
Where tranquil oceans meet the land
I am the footprints in the sand
To guide you through the weary day.
I am still here; I'll always stay.
When you wake up to morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

Dawn, Rachel and Hannah,
My heart breaks for the loss of your daughter and sister, and my prayers will always be with you and your family. Kristen was an exceptional young lady. She had a lot of drive and ambition, and I truly admired that about her. She was a terrific student and a wonderful, caring person to be around. It was a pleasure to be her tutor and to know her. She will always be remembered, and she will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

We were always there for each other and kept each other's secrets and there are so many memories that I will never forget. I love you so much baby girl and I will never forget what an amazing person you always were. <3

Kinky, god where do i begin to start. The first time we hungout three years ago i was super nervous, because you always had the perfect hair, and you were always so funny. Then as time went on we grew closer, and eventually into bestfriends. Our group of girls were inseperable. Its hard to believe your gone. It feels like your just gunna walk in and laugh at us all, like you usually did at everything. You were always so real and you always said what was on your mind without even thinking. You thought you were the toughest person although you were this 100 lb little girl. You always put a smile on everyones faces. I cant even begin to think about memories we shared. I feel you everywhere i go, and i know your watching over us and protecting us. I will never forget you kinky, your always in my heart. You didnt deserve this, but god had better plans for you. Ill always look back on the times we laughed together and memories we shared, and ill smile. Thats what you would of wanted, for everyone. Youve touched so many hearts, and you will be missed forever. I love you bestfriend, forever and always. Ill see you again someday.
<3Aerie.

Although I cannot imagine the pain of your loss my heart is with you.
Beloved Family
God gave me a list of things to do
And formost on that list, was to watch over you.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight.
Remember that I am with you morning, noon and night.
michelle
July 31, 2008
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
