kristi - i was walking out of work today andthought how badly i wantedto call you. eveything i do at work is inspired by you. all the lessons you taught me, i remember and i am trying. i am working on a project that you last worked on when you were first diagnosed. i will cut you some slack for some crazy decisions because you were probably a little distracted. i love you so much and i miss you dreadfully. don't worry - i will keep people happy at work. it's what i know how to do.

KRISTI I miss you so much !!! I still remember the 1st day I met you. You were 4 and you read the TV guide to me and we would always watch your favorite show "Emergency" together. How ironic that we watched it together before you passed. Thank you for blessing me with you in my life. I love you so much.

Kristi had a magical spirit that I am fortunate enough to have had a chance to experience. She was a dear friend through the years; sharing in my personal milestones and embarrassing moments. She was also a mentor who willingly listened and offered critical advice. Her impact was significant and loss great. Her bright smile will forever be in our hearts.

Kristi was my cousin and we will all miss her so much. I never had a chance to say goodbye to her because unfortunatly while she was fighting cancer, so was my mother. My sympathies and condolences are with the Spisak family and my family as well. We all will miss you Kristi and we all love you.

So often you hear the cliché about bad things happening to good people. This is truly the case with Kristi. Although her time here was entirely too short she touched so many along the way. I’ve never known a smarter, stronger or more caring woman. We are all better for being blessed enough to be a part of her life. I pray all the family manages to find some sense of peace knowing she is no longer suffering. God bless you all! Matt, Sherry, Daniel, Bryce, Bret & Sheridan

My sympathies go out to the Spisak family during their time of great sorrow. I went to school with Kristi but hadn't seen her in years and was shocked to hear she had passed. Such a terrific young lady who was taken far too soon!

Spisak Family
My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I went to school with Kristi...we had a Psychology class together our Sr. year. I most recently saw her at Kenny & Steph's a few years back. Kristi and her family had just came back from Disney and she shared the pics with me. She was always so sweet. Remember her smile to help get you through the days ahead.

I feel bad for those who won't get the chance to be touched by your spirit. Thank you for all you've done for me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for your guiding light at ERAC.

I am so sad to hear of Kristi's passing. I went to grade school with her from 1st through the 8th grade. We also played softball together all those years. I will remember her gentle nature and her sweetness to anyone she ever came across. Although we didn't stay in touch through the later years she would always pop in my mind and I would wonder how she was. She will be in my fondest memories from school. My prayers go out to her family. God Bless.

Having only met Kristi a few times did not diminish my opportunity to see what a blessing she was to her family and friends. Throughout her illness she remained a loving, caring and fun-loving warrior. Those she left behind will carry her strength and memory forever in their hearts.
