Dear Rice Family, my heart and soul are with you at this time. Our prayers are with you and your family also. My niece Ashley Clemens is a junior at Westfield and a classmate of Kristin's. My dauther is also 16 and a junior here in Fort Wayne. There is no answer to why something like this happens but we have to trust in Gods plan. There is a reason that God called Kristin home. My best friend lost her child to cancer and she told me then that her son was with the best babysitter she could ever hope for...God. I know God is with you today and that Kristin is with God for always. I hope that you will feel Gods love for you during this time and trust in his mercy and grace. Kristin will always be with you as she is in your hearts forever. May you feel the support and love of all those who are thinking of your family today. Love Lisa Genos
