Mark, Jackie, Jamie, and Stone,

My heart bleeds for your family with the loss of your beautiful and treasured daughter and sister. Kristin was very special to me as well...although babysitting days were behind us...I will always hold the most fond memories in my heart of Kristin...Kristen was such a sweet, caring, and brave little girl. We always had so much fun together. The earth has truly lost an angel of its own...

My thoughts, prayers, deepest sympathy, and love to your family always.
