John, Jason, Jared, Josh and family,
I cannot begin to say how badly I feel for not having been there for you since I had not heard about Kris's passing away until recently. I hope you all know how much I care for all of you and loved your mom/ wife, dearly. She always had a lively spirit, energy galore, and was hopping from one thing to the next. She always will be a treasure to me as well as you John, and your boys!! Keep in touch.

John and family,
We were saddened to hear of Kris's passing. My husband Bill had very nice memories of her at the YMCA office when he was a soccer coach.
He said she was a great lady and always helpful.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Walters Family,
You do not know me, but I used to own Rickrack Fabric Shop at 14th and Pine Lk Rd. I knew Kris because she used to come in my shop and buy fabric for her necktie bags that were so fun and unique. When Kris would come in my shop we would have the best time. She was so creative and had a wonderful imagination like know one else. The short time I knew Kris, I knew she had a great passion for sewing and loved fabric with lots of bright colors. I know she will be missed by alot of people.

I really miss my grandma. She was a great lady and I wish she was still with me. But, I know she is probably better because she was not feeling well and was ill.
