Mike and Marc,

I am so sorry to hear about Kris. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. I not only knew her as an alum of Bob-O-Link and Hoover, but we were sorority sisters at BGSU. She always had a lot of spirit which i am sure carried through her battle. I hope you can find comfort knowing she is in a great place now.
