I am very sadden and shocked to hear of the passing of such a beautiful and sweet girl. I worked with Kristi many years ago at AMR. She was full of life. The day of my wedding, Kristi suffered an asthma attack and was hospitalized. She told the nurses and doctor there was NO WAY she was missing my wedding. Sure enough she was there and looked beautiful as ever. I'll miss you Kristi. God bless your family and beautiful daughters.
