Dear Aaron, Zoe, family and friends, God bless you during this heart-breaking time. Kristina was more than a co-worker. She was a bright, loving, fun and caring woman and we miss her terribly. I marveled at the way she shared herself so freely and completely which blessed us all so much. Much love... in deep sorrow. Terri Stone

Speechless and she was amazing. We talked on the phone quite a few times and emailed a lot. I heard her love for her kids and husband and I send my deep condolences. She was my first supervisor and I know she worked really hard in work and in family. I wish I could have had the opportunity to meet her in person. The angels I am sure are glad to have her even though it hurts our hearts down here. I will be praying for your family Kristina. Fly high and craft in the sky.

Deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Kristina. My heart goes out to you all.

Kristina was a very mindful, sweet natured person. Always there for her Nicka Family, and passionate about her staff and her work. Always had a "document" for everything, something I learned from her that makes a world of difference, I only wish I was as good as she was at it.

Although we worked together from afar, she has taught me many things and for that I am forever grateful.

Until we meet again- rest easy sweetheart! <3
