Kristin was a beautiful person with a good heart, a brilliant mind, and a wonderful sense of humor. I had the gift of her friendship for ten years, and my love for her is and always will be immense. My thoughts are with everyone else whose life was made better by her presence and will miss the sound of her laughter.
