Kristen was a good friend of my daughter while in high school. Kristen was a frequent visitor to our home and was always a pleasure. One year, Kristen went on vacation to the upper peninsula of Michigan, and we were so impressed with her spirit and love of nature.
I was saddened when I heard of her passing... Kristen will be a great addition to Heaven, but she will be greatly missed. My heart and prayers go out to her family.

I worked with Kristen for the past 10 years. I was always amazed how effortlessly she combined professionalism with warmth and kindness. I had hoped to work for her at some point but it wasn´t meant to be. Through our connection via FB I could see how much she cherished her son, Tyler; husband Kevin, family and close friends. I am so glad to have known her and will pray for comfort and strength to everyone who mourns her loss.
