KRISTIN MARY RIDINGER

A smile seemed to never leave Kristin's face when I knew her Always so cheerful, up beat and happy. We both come from big extended families and my heart goes out to each of you and to the Hopkins family she nurtured for so many years. It is my deepest hope that having each other and great memories will continue to comfort and encourage you through the coming months. Her presence will be missed, but I her spirit will continue to bless us and live in each of you.

To Kris' family -

We were very sorry to hear about Kris' illness and passing. We were not aware of this until recently. Kris was wonderful to our family during the years of her High school, College and the years of their children growing up. They were good years.

She was a great person. We are glad to have had the time we had with her.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of a truly kind and genuine person. My prayers for God's comfort at this time for Sarah, Matt and Tim. Laura Taurchini

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My memories of Kristin date back 25 years when we were neighbors and young parents. When I last saw her she was as beautiful and vibrant as ever and we discussed some of our fondest memories of our children ranging from Halloween costumes to Hopkins sports events. I choose to remember her just like thata wonderfully devoted and adoring mother and a dynamic individual who impacted the lives of thousands through her profession and passions. When recently reconnecting with her lovely children...

My deepest sympathies to the family on this loss.

Sarah and family,I'm so sorry that Kristin is no longer with you in body. However, her spirit and memories of her will stay with you forever. From Hopkins I remember she had such a distinctive "look" that she could give if she found us doing something not quite on topic, not quite yelling. But allowing us to reconsider before we got into trouble. My heart goes out to you and yours.

To all of Kristin's family, and to her dear friends,

We are saddened by your great loss. Kristin was always such a lovely, bright light and we feel so blessed to have known her. Over the years we shared many good hugs and laughs!
Truly all of us have been touched by her beautiful spirit. May you find peace.

In friendship, Jen, Jeff, Jordan, Alee, Liv and Tori Ramos
