My dear friend Kristin, your Mom was a beautiful person inside and out. I always enjoyed chatting with her at family events. She always made you feel like you were genuinely part of her family. Please know that she is loved and will be greatly missed by myself and my family. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Love you
