I am sorry for your loss. I am wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. May you draw close to the God of all comfort and know that He will soon eliminate such pain and suffering by means of his kingdom. (Psalm 46: 1, 7)

I only met Kristen a few times, but I remembered her laughing smile and warm, happy nature enough to "check in on her" on occasion. I'm sorry to hear of her passing, and I extend my belated condolences to her husband and family.

I am terribly saddened to hear of Kristen's passing. Although I didn't know her personally, I did work with her from '89 to '91 at WMXJ (Magic 102.7) FM, which was ( at the time) located in downtown Hollywood, Florida. She was my department manager. Me and the entire crew in the research department always enjoyed her company. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and a friendly smile that would light up the room. We all had a lot of fun together, because Kristen made working fun. The two years I spent working with her were some of the best times I had in my life. I only wish I could've seen her again, just to have a friendly chat. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of her friends and family along with her husband.. You were a wonderful person, Kristen! You are truly missed.

Dear Barbara and Jim: Ken and I are so shocked to hear of Kristen's passing. I guess Karoline got to heaven 3 months early to pave the way. We still see her as the cute little neighbor girl that played with our girls. When we received your note about Kristen we felt the same emotions as we did when Karoline passed. Stay strong because we all will meet again in a better place. With all our love to you both, Gay and Ken Kielbania

Dear KG, I still can't believe you're gone. I find myself still breaking down in tears when I see your picture. I thank you for being a part of my life and I cherish the memories and laughs we shared together. Including the horseback riding on my birthday...even though you were allergic to horses! You were always up for some fun. Although it had been a while since we spent time together, I will always cherish the good times we shared. May you rest in peace.

I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to have worked with Kristen through the years. As a representative of a couple different companies, she was always there for my radio stations. She was the only person I ever needed...even to the point where I don't know where to even begin to get customer service with Cumulus these days. She was that good. I never worked with her personally, never shook her hand, but yet her passing was profound. I will miss hearing her voice on the other end of the phone.

Dear Rob and Mr. and Mrs. Guarino,
Kristen was a dear friend and special person. She always had such a positive attitude as she fought this horrible disease. I will miss her.

Dear Kristen,
It has been over a week since your passing and I am still in disbelief. I find myself picking up the phone to text and call and not sure what to do.
As you know our friendship was one of the great ones, spanning almost 20 years we shared some of the most amazing moments, times and experiences together, they will continue to be some of my best memories.
We have had so much fun since the 90's when we met, and LA was our playground; so many parties, our Melrose gang, great shared friends and laughing, lots of laughing, trips to Vegas and Tahoe. I remember when we first starting hanging out, it was when you moved from Burbank to the place on Martel and we discovered we were both morning people, maybe the only morning people in LA.
We talked of life, love, art, real estate, food, travel, dogs, friends and family, we hiked the whole Santa Monica mountain range mostly Griffith and Runyon and I always tried to keep up with you (dam that hogback trail). I remember when we both wanted dogs soooo bad, its all we could talk about and then you met your feisty match in a young jack named Carly Simon (aka Bimini) she was so happy to find her forever home with you. Then came her boyfriend Frank, omg how cute were they? Bim and Frank, our children officially made us family, ha. We had our endless walks and runs through Pan Pacific park, fruit and yogurt bowls (lickies for the dogs) at the Farmers market, as you know I have missed our mornings desperately since your move back to FL.
I know your decision to move back to FL was a tough one but spending time with Babs and Big Jim was a priority and really who wouldn't want to spend more time with them, I know first hand how much fun they are. I was so happy for you when you met Rob, I could tell by how much you wanted us to meet him that he was the one. The one you wanted to take home to your LA family. I could not have wished a better husband for you my friend. Your wedding was so fun and so full of love and laughter, we ROCKED that boat, I am only sorry it was a short time ago.
KG, I want you to know I saw your bright light so many times in Italy last week. It was an undeniable presence that you were with me, from the cat in Tuscany to the white butterflies that crossed my path when the light was just perfect. Thank you for your comfort and guidance, Keep'em coming please.
I can vividly hear your voice talking to me and your laugh, you will always be with me especially on Sunday dinners, hikes, and 50/50's , Love you your forever KG, I along with countless others will miss you so much.

Kristen, You were and always will be an angel. Each time we met it was a joy, filled with light and happiness. Your lively happy love of life was spontaneous and contagious. You are missed by all those who knew you. God bless you and keep an eye on those who loved you and who will always love you.

Dear Barbra & Jim, we are blessed to be your neighbors for over 30 years and we were so fortunate to watch Kristen grow from a young girl to a strikingly beautiful woman. Our hearts ache for you to have had to say goodbye to your precious daughter in the physical world. She will always be remembered for her love of life, grace and of course,her amazing voice..Our condolences to her husband Rob. Although their time together was much too short, their love was so special. All of our love, Maxine, Irwin, Jesse and Devin

It was 1979 when my parents and Jim and Barb moved next door to each other in Sunrise. Kristen would have been going on 14. I recall she was sweet, pretty and already cool! As the years past and we all moved away I would hear about her from her proud parents. She was their light! So glad for them all when she moved back here and then she met and married Rob and her parents knew all would be well. Then, the sad news to hear she was ill and then to read she was gone. She left to soon. Our condolences Jimmy, Barb and Ron.

We did not know Kristen for a long time since we just became neighbors last year. In the short time we knew her she made a great impression! That big smile and happy attitude belied the pain that she was in. May you rest in peace Dear Kristen. Our prayers are with Rob and with Kristen's parents.

It was a very sad moment to learn of the passing of Kristen, a lovely and cheerful lady I have had the pleasure to meet. Married to my son Robert. She will be sorely missed by both of the families. My condolences go out to alll of her families, especially to Jim and Barbra of Sunrise. Her passing will affect all of us especially my Son Robert, who said to me, she was the best mate anyone could have ever wished for. Rest in peace Kristen, we all love you. Jim Hastie New Zealand.

Kristen ... each time we spoke I could "see" your smiling face through the phone. You were a joy to work with and though we were on opposite sides of the country, you were the best co-worker a girl could have. The sadness I felt at your passing is lessened by the fact that I know Heaven has a beautiful angel. May you rest in eternal peace.

My deepest sympathies to Rob and to Kristen's parents. I feel extremely fortunate to have known Kristen when we were kids growing up as well as the last few years after she moved back here. The memories are old and deep and there isn't a single bad one. The encouragement she gave me, just when I needed it, changed my life. The memories of the beautiful person she was will inspire me for the rest of my life.

I'll always remember you as a wee tot piggy-backed on your fathers shoulders. Board smiles on both your faces.I'm sure when you arrived in Heaven, Bob, my son was there with out stretched arms to greet you. Since you left, each time i've spoken to your Mom, butterflies appear outside the patio. I believe!! Ann Bywaters

Forever in my heart cuz. I am so sorry I didn't come see you sooner or call sooner. I am glad you are at peace now. I never got to meet Rob but I could tell you were so madly in love and happy. I'm so grateful you found your soulmate before your time on earth was done. Your smile was infectious and would light up any room you walked into. I've always admired you and thought you were the coolest cousin ever! I mean, you did live in LA amongst the stars and all. And even kept me informed on my favorite show, the Hills. You were truly amazing. And such a special person. I hope you know that I love you. I miss you.

Heaven has gained an angel. I know you are looking down on us and being with us all in a different way now. I loved finally having a big sister and so over joyed that you found my brother Rob and shared a very special love that comes along rarely in peoples lives. We will plant a NZ native tree especially for you on our property, I know how much you loved your visit home here with us. We were remembering with great fondness of time together here and your idea of 'flipping' life on the farm (you know what I mean Sis). You touched many and I am glad our paths did cross, til we meet again Sis. Love you with all my heart. Its so hard being so far away so sending huge hugs to Rob, Jim & Barbs. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers always. Love you. xx

Unfortunately I never got to meet Kristen, but my husband did in 1991 when he flew to Florida where he met her parents and he said she was one of the nicest friends he'd ever made! We are from England so my husband still kept in touch with Kristen over Facebook..... I had a daughter 7 years ago and we named her after after Kristen, (Kristen Amelia Evans). From the story's I've heard, Kristen was an amazing woman who touched the hearts of many people..... I am upset that I didn't get to meet Kristen, but hope that she is now at rest ?? May the sky shine a whole lot brighter ??

In life, sometimes, we are privileged to meet someone who has a profound affect on you. I was lucky to meet that person. Kristen. I was holidaying to Florida (Miami) in 1991 with my partner at the time. We met Kristen on a Virgin flight from Gatwick. We talked all the way to America. When we left the flight, Kristen gave us her phone number and said ring me when you are settled in your hotel and I will show you the real Florida. Cut a long story short, she was true to her word and we also got to meet Jim and Barbara who invited us for dinner. I have never forgotten that. The selflessness of her. I am still shocked and can't believe she has gone. I will never forget her. My love goes out to Jim and Barbara and of course Rob. RIP Kristen. Fly high Xx

I'm so sad to lose my cherished friend from this world so early, and I can't stop thinking about your beautiful smile, your creative energy, your love of butterflies, and your incredibly brave spirit. John and I offer our sincerest condolences to your parents, Mr. & Mrs. "G, ,and your loving husband, Rob, for all of whom my heart breaks. When I see you again, Kristen, let's laugh over our crazy childhood moped adventures... and until then, John and I will be planting milkweed in our garden and marveling at the monarchs on whose wings I will hear the whisper of your name. ~Veronica & John

My Cousin Kristen in heaven! Oh how I miss you so much. I can't get you off my mind but I know at some point it will get easier. You were my closest cousin and a friend to me. Your infectious smile lit up the room when ever you were in it and you made everyone feel at ease when you were around! The times we spent together over the years will always be engrained in my heart and I am forever grateful for that.
To have found true love in Rob before your time on earth was done was one of the happiest times I felt for you. I saw a light in your eyes I never saw before the night of your wedding and I knew your life was COMPLETE. May you watch down over us and help ease the pain we are all feeling right now. I love and miss you so much and can't wait until we meet again.

Whoa everyone!! This site jumped up way to fast. My wife Barbara and I just wanted to tell you all that Kristen was a package of fun and intellect from day one. We even shared the same middle name! She was dancing as soon as she could stand, and loved music and the radio industry. She lived in Las Angeles for 17 years and mingling with all kind of music and movie famous celebs. Her friends are all wonderful and have traveled the world together raising hell for sure. Kristen moved back to Ft. Lauderdale 4 years ago and met her ideal fun partner, Rob Hastie from New Zealand. Neither had ever been married nor had any children, and both had great employment --Her friends came from all over for their wedding which rocked the yacht they were married on. But after a 3 year fight in the jungles of cancer Kristen has fluttered away. She loved Koala bears, Jack Russell terriers and nurtured the King Monarch butterfly. We wish to thank her wonderful medical team who tried so hard--No services or ceremonies--Donations to Hospice, ,American Cancer and the Humane Society------Love to ALL of you, Jim & Barbara Guarino

Rob, it was a shock to hear about Kristen. It was her power to get all of her old friends back together one last time for a reunion of which we have not seen or spoke to each other for over 30 years and when we all got together it was like we spoke yesterday. I am sorry you only got to spend so very few years as husband and wife because she seemed to be a great partner,fun loving, happy lady. God bless you and her family and may she rest in peace.
