Kristin was one of the most unfailingly kind and positive people I ever had the honor of knowing. She was almost unbelievably good... yet she truly WAS that good. I’ve been reflecting on her life as I’ve witnessed it over the past 20 years, and when taken as a whole, it’s remarkable.
She was such a good mother... patient and loving and dedicated. I remember the “all done” signing at the table when the boys were small. The fact that, as teenagers, they would still openly gravitate to her for affection.
As a wife, she always seemed to offer quiet and steady love and support. A hand on the back. Constantly present.
As a sister-in-law, she was thoughtful and kind, always with a sweet word, always aware of what was happening in our lives. Quick with an offer of support or a smile.
We of this world have lost something very special... but Kristin? She’s gained her reward for the exemplary life she led.
DJ, Luke, Aaron- this is the hardest of the hard in your lives. I’m so sorry. There’s not really anything to say to make that better. It’s just going to be hard... but please know that there are so many of us that love you so much and are here to offer you any kind of support you need while you grieve your loss. Don’t hesitate to ask when you need help. When your loved ones can help you through times like this it’s healing for all of us. It’s never a burden.
Chris and Sue, I don’t have words. As a parent, I can’t begin to imagine what kind of pain you’re in right now. Try to take solace in the fact that you gave the world an extraordinary gift. Kristin touched so many lives and she lives on through her influence in those lives and in those wonderful boys.
I know this is not that time, but one day we’ll all be able to be thankful for what we had instead of aching for what we’ve lost.
Pat, this is a special kind of loss for you... she wasn’t yours exactly, yet she was so much more than “just” a daughter-in-law. I’m so sorry for your loss, too. I know Kristin changed your life in so many ways and her absence will leave a gaping hole. Please know that we love you too, and that we want to help you any way we can to help heal that wound.
We love you all, and though Sophie and I may not be right there next to you, we are right there *with* you. You’re constantly on our minds and we’re here for you in any way you’d like for us to be. We love you so much... and although it’s a wildly insufficient thing to say, we’re so sorry.

I am so sorry to hear about Kristin. She was in my dorm freshman year at Duke, and was an unfailingly kind and thoughtful person. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I will always be thankful for the honor to work with and develop a friendship with someone so kind, warm and passionate about helping others. You only had to speak with Kristin briefly to know of her love for her family and for life in general. There is no doubt that Kristin's impact will live on and multiply through all of those who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her. This world lost a brilliantly shining light, but heaven now glows more brightly because of her presence there. We already miss you, sweet friend. #kristinstrong

I am so sorry to hear of Kristin’s passing. It is such a roller coaster going through a prolonged illness and never easy. Know that Kristin is with God and all her friends and family that have gone before her and that she will ALWAYS be with you. She had much to be proud of with her family: I have had the pleasure of coaching Luke. I pray that your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
John Hasyn

We are so sorry to hear of Kristin’s passing. Every time I saw Kristin at GMA, she was always smiling or laughing. It was a joy to see her smile when I dropped my children off at school. I will forever remember her this way. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
