I just now heard of Kristie's death, and I am heartsick. Kristie hired me at Ecolab in 1973 and became my mentor and trusted friend. There is probably no one that I respected more, personally and professionally, than Kristie. She knew how to handle the most difficult situation, gave great guidance and advice, was never judgmental, and was a model of wisdom, calm, and grace. Most importantly, we laughed together. I have countless memories of our lunches, dinners, escapades. After I moved to...

While I hadn't satyed in touch in recent years, Kristie was a client and a colleague in PRSA for many years. She was a wonderful counselor and always had such a calm and measured presence about her. She left an impression on those she met and will be missed.

I will always miss Kristie because she was always so easy to talk to. I could tell her my problems and then she would give the best advice without judgement. I loved to see her smile and oh, how she gave parties and holidays to family. It was sad to see her go at such a young age, but I am glad she is in a more peaceful realm of life. She deserved to be happy in every way possible. She was my best friend and like a second mom to me as well. May she rest in peace forever.

So sorry for your loss. May the God "of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3,4) provide what you need at this sad time.

Kristie and I met as freshmen at UMD searching for our French class. We studied together, were francophiles together and traveled together. She and Gary shared Christmas and birthdays with my family. Kristie and I have been friends and more for 46 years. We laughed together and shared our lives and hoped to grow old rocking on our front porches and making pithy comments. She will be missed. She was a wonderful person.

I worked with Kristie when we were both in the Personnel Dept. at Ecolab. I admired her professionalism and ability to handle any situation. She had a wonderful twinkle in her eyes when she smiled. Haven't seen her in years, but have wonderful memories of her.
