To the family and Henry our deepest condolences go out to you all on your loss! She was an awesome person and neighbor! I will miss the conversation and laughs we had ! I will never forget my dog sneaking around the house our peeking though the fence to see you! Both of your dogs were great but the new one would make me laugh jumping in the window just barking at me while I waited for Taylor to get home from school! RIP Kristine !!
