One of my best friends, a soul sister, who always had the perfect counsel, wisdom, humor, cup of tea or a glass of wine. She was my first friend when I moved to Arlington in 2015, and we had lunch together two weeks before she died. I am forever grateful to the friend that she was, and will always be in my heart. She will never be forgotten, and I long to see her again one day. The hope that is in me is for all eternity together. A friend is a friend forever. Rest in peace, my dear Krista. Until we meet again. Even my shih tzu Casey loved his Krista, who also adored him. We miss her so.

The memories of walking Josie, discussing condo drama and work force challenges with your sense of humor will always be remebered. RIP.
