I am so very sorry to hear of Kristine's passing. I met her in a small group Bible study this past summer, and so enjoyed getting to know her. She was a beautiful person, and easily reached out to the girls in our study in friendship. She will be greatly missed. Her family and friends will be in my prayers.

Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the LORD
and put their trust in him.
You'll never be forgotten. I hope you're at peace.

I got to know Kristine in the summer with my single friends. First at the Friends Bible study on Tuesday night and then she came to my Hawaiian party at my house and I invited her to go boating and jet skiing with me and share my toys. She was very considerate and put other people above herself. She went boating with me a few times to the lake and she would watch our belongings and just wanted to hang out with us and fellowship on the beach. I loved her "easy" going attitude when it came to going with the flow. I would describe her as a "selfless" woman. She was a vibrant, young virtuous woman like Proverbs 31 talked about. I will be praying for your family. Mary O'Neill

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Kristine in 2000 on a women's discipleship walk. We were also in a few church groups together, one being LEADING LADIES with the 1st lady of Lakeview. Kristine was a leader and her incredible smile and twinkle eyes surely were most capable of brightening even ones darkest of days. She truly loved God and loved people. I know she would tell you all that the most important choice in life is to ask Jesus to be your Savior and Lord. I pray that you will feel God's peace, comfort,love and joy in the days ahead as you trust in HIM. Proverbs 3:5-6

I am very sad to hear of your loss. I met Kristine at a women's discipleship walk in 2000. We were in a few small church groups together, one being a group called Leading Ladies with the 1 st lady of Lakeview. Kristine was a leading lady with an incredible smile that could brighten even ones darkest day.Her perky personality always reminded me of Beth Moore. She was loved by many and will be missed. I haven't seen her in years, but I know I WILL see her again. May the God of all peace comfort you all in the days ahead. I know Kristine would tell you that you need Jesus!!!Believing souls will be saved because of this tragic loss.

We loved Kristine and the way she lit up a room when she walked in. Having been with her and her sister on a mission trip a few years ago, we grew to love and appreciate her passion for the Kingdom of God. We are sad but filled with hope that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Praying for her family's comfort and strength. Karen Cooper

I met Kristine while she was working at Fundamentals. We immediately bonded and became friends sharing stories, words of wisdome, and most of all laughter. Her smile was contagious and you could see her soul twinkle behind her stunning eyes. I look forward to the day when I see her again and imagine that she will be wearing one of her brightly colored flowers in her hair. Prayers and love to all
