Kristi was a joy to work with, even though more people worked more closely with her than I did. I miss hearing her laugh when she would come downstairs to the Clerk's office. That's just one of the things I miss. She was so sweet and kind. Never heard anything negative from her. She was the bravest person I knew. Never heard her complain about feeling bad or even question her diagnosis of cancer. We were going to walk in the Cancer Association's Relay for Life this year. She finished her walk this year. Next year I will walk in her honor. My prayers are with her beautiful family.

I hope your entire family can take some comfort in knowing that a lot of old friends from Martin are thinking about you all. There was no one nicer and more genuine than Kristi. She was an exceptional person and I was lucky to have known her. Thinking about you all during this difficult time.

Kendall, The miles between us are many but I still hold you as a close friend. I am so saddened to hear of your loss. I still have fond memories of a certain high school talent show where you, Kristi and the rest of your band played Stairway to Heaven. She has now climbed that flight and will be waiting for the day when her family and friends join her in the joys of Heaven.
