I can't believe it's been almost 9 years since Kris passed away. There is not a day goes by that Kris is always on my mind and in my heart. I go out to the cemetery quite often and sit and talk to her. It is so peaceful out there and I feel so much closer to her when I am there. Kris, you are loved so much!

So many of us loved Kris as we took her classes at the Wellness center, and she is responsible for motivating many of us to try harder. She was a fabulous person with an angelic smile. She will be missed. I offer my condolences to all of her family, and hope you have some peace in knowing she is no longer suffering and now sits with God. May God Bless of all you who loved her so much. God Speed.

Our thoughts and prayers go to Kris's family. We knew them from Ralston and were sad to read of Kris' passing. We grew up with them at Seymour. It sounds like she grew up to be an amazing person. I am sure she will be missed.

I met Kris at the Wellness Center at Mutual of Omaha. She was an amazing person and instructor. She had a special talent for putting a smile on everyones face. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel.
My prayer is with you and your family, may Christ minister His peace to your hearts in this time of loss.

We are all going to miss Kris at Mutual of Omaha. She was such a great friend and instructor. I loved our talks about Starbucks and her jokes...and she taught me so much about exercise and nutrition. I will always visualize Kris smiling because that is what she always did. My prayers are with you.

God must of needed an angel because that is exactly what Kris was. I knew her from her exercise classes at Mutual of Omaha. We became friends and I followed her to Prairie Life Fitness. There was truly no one like her and I will miss her. May the strength of family and friends get you through this sad time. She is smiling down on us.
