Kris was a very caring and loving lady. She was a wonderful Past Dept. President of the ALA and will be missed by all. My most cherished gift from her was a birthday card sent by her this year.

Paula, Julie & Casey:
Our condolences to you and the whole family. Kristine was a lovely lady and we will miss her greatly. As Past ALA National President she loved all our veterans across the country. May she Rest In Peace.

Casey, I am so sorry to hear about your sister.

She was warm and caring Lady, may she rest in peace. Past Department President 2013-2014

Kris was a fabulous and wonderful lady. I served with her as SAL National Commander, along with Ray Smith, National Commander of The American Legion, in 2000-2001.

Thank you beautiful lady for all your support with the Auxiliary of NH ! Such a beautiful woman and helped so many of us ladies over the years with your support ❤ My condolences to your family.
