As one year has nearly passed, I often find myself thinking of you and your family. I am a mother now too, and I cannot imagine the pain you must have felt knowing that you would not be there to help raise your beautiful children. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense. I pray for you, for your husband, for your families and friends. I pray for your children and I hope they always feel the fierceness of your love.

To the family of Kristen, I do not know Kristen personally but I heard about her at this year's Singing Christmas Tree and was so touched I googled and read more. I only wished I knew her or heard her perform. A beautiful soul indeed! My condolences go out to you all.

I first saw Kristen at the Singing Xmas Tree in 2011, with my daughter and granddaughters. Her sad story, but above all, her beautiful voice, touched all of our hearts deeply. We again saw her last year again at the 2012 Singing Xmas Tree and it was so heart rending to see her decline from the previous year; how hard God is sometimes on the most beautiful and brave soles. She still sang her heart out and I cried along with my daughter. It was a privilege to have seen her perform both times. She became a hero to my granddaughter, who is going through some life issues herself. Even though you don't know us, our deepest condolences go out to your family especially to her husband and 3 boys.

I only knew Kristen through her music, which was passed on to me by my sister who attends your church. Kristen's encouragement lives on in my life through the words of her song "Hold On" from her Songs From Home CD. I am humbled by her faith and attitude in life. I look forward to meeting her in heaven. May you be encouraged by her continued "test"imony...(I love how she wrote that in her blog) to someone who did not know her in person. I will hold your family and your boys in my prayers.

'For I know the plans I have for you' declares The Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not harm you; plans to give you hope and a future.' Jeremiah 29:11
Kristen epitomized Jesus' love; for her Heavenly Father, for her family and for whomever she crossed paths with. No mere coincidences here. All divine appointments with Kristen brought joyful celebration of God's wonder-filled love! Her magical voice, warm smile and heart of compassion richly blesses us all. Thank You!
May precious memories of your beloved Kristen keep you strong in your faith as God's comfort and peace fills you.
Her legacy lives on. Oh, that we all would aspire to live our one and only life as she so beautifully did!

I pray that the Lord will comfort Mike and her boys and Kristen's family. It breaks my heart that someone so young beautiful was taken from the world. I never personally knew her, but yesterday the Lord led me to watch her memorial and wow what an incredible woman. She has inspired me to enjoy my life more despite its hardships and to grow in my walk with Him!! She sounds like an incredible woman and I only wish that I had got to meet her. May peace be with your family during this time. Know that the Lord is with you and that Kristen is still inspiring people even in this. My prayers are with all of you.

My deepest sympathies on Kristen's passing. She was a pillar of courage and resilience. Her blog through wordpress provided me with so much spiritual inspiration. I was constantly amazed by her ability to press in to God and in everything, encourage others to seek a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Jesus. Kristen has changed lives, of people she barely knew and she has finished her race. We pray that your family continues to feel the Lord's comfort and presence during this time.

My prayers have been with Kristen and her family from the first I learned of her illness. I was heartbroken to learn she had passed away, but SO thankful she is celebrating in heaven. I attended Northpointe in Edmonton for years and knew her through the Singing Christmas Tree. My prayers will continue for her husband, boys and extended family.

We went to the same schools though never met. When I saw her obituary I recognized her right away - a smile you don't forget. What a courageous battle she fought surrounded by love and light and may that same love and light bring comfort to you now.

We ve never personally met Kristen but had the privilege of experiencing your voice at the Singing Christmas Tree last year. Within days my daughter gave us her CD as a gift. I believe it was no coincidence and an Angel here on earth touched even our lives. Kristen created beautiful memories for countless people. Our prayers to Mike and their boys, and to all her loving family. It s been difficult Evy, but she is now Resting in Peace and would be so proud.

My most sincerest condolences to Dave Miller and his family for the loss of their daughter. Even though I have never met Kristen, her father,Dave was a college and friend of mine who spoke very highly of his daughter. I could see the passion and love he had for her. I could feel his pain and sorrow as he spoke of her illness and her fight to live. May God bless your family in your time of great loss and may He comfort you in your time of need. I will continue to pray for your family.

I went to junior high with Kristen at Dan Knott and ever since I heard about her battle with cancer, I've been following her progress through Facebook. She was so courageous, so brave and was an inspiration to so many people. I hope you can find comfort in the memories you shared with her. My deepest sympathy to Kristen's family, friends and everyone that knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.

Dear Mike and family,
What to say about Kristen? When my mom and I heard that she was coming to the tree to sing, we thought 'How wonderful' until we heard her story. Her song "Christmastime, You Can Find Joy" brought so much memories for us when we lost loved ones in the past. Last years tree brought even more, especially when Kristen said that it brought tears to her eyes when the choir sang "Christmas Time All Year" and "The Prayer".
We know what you're going through, because we just lost a loved one last month. If you ever need someone to talk to or even someone to keep an eye on the kids for you, just give us a call at 780-465-7666.
We shall miss our shining star, now she can shine bright for all to see. Have a candle lite at Christmas.

I was recently reunited with Kristen with the ESCT 2013 as I listened to her Amazing voice I remembered it from High School. I always thought she was an amazing singer and beautiful soul back then. To see her 11 years later as an amazing mother, wife, sister, daughter, singer, performer was so wonderful. Heaven has a bright Angel:)

Hearing her story and seeing Kristen remain a pillar of strength changed me. Her faith inspired me and brought me closer to God. I truly believe Kristen is an angel who was sent down to help those struggling with faith. I thank Kristen for changing my life. I can't imagine the sorrow that her family must feel, for my heart alone broke when hearing the news. My prayers will always remain with Kristen and her family.

No Words can even come close to expressing the joy and sheer Beauty that Kristen brought to many through Health and in Sickness these past couple of years.....she was an Amazing and an Inspiring Young Woman who Loved God, her family and radiated that everywhere she went and through every note she ever sang. My heart broke when I heard the news early Friday afternoon....but then I thought...hold it....she IS COMPLETELY HEALED....able to walk run dance with Joy in the presence of God and be able to share that Gorgeous Voice with the many Angels above!!! Dave, Kathy, Kennedy....I'm so sorry for your loss...Mike and the Boys.....God Will continue to carry you and hold you in His Arms during the really hard times.

we were blessed to be a part of Michaels family fro a long time-and the great pleasure of meeting and getting to know Kristen. When we heard her sing- we asked if she would sing at our mother-in-law Betty Groothuysen (90 yrs) funeral- and she did. As she played the piano and sang a few people at the back of the church taught it was a CD playing- she has a voice of an angel...We love her dearly and this world has lost an amazing person............XXXXXXXXXXXX

Although we did not know Kristen personally, we did attend the same church and were inspired by her more than words can express. So much so that my husband and I named our beautiful baby girl Kristen in hopes that she may have the same faith and courage and strength in our Lord and saviour as Kristen has. We have prayed for Kristen everyday for her healing and will continue to pray for God's peace, grace and healing to touch her family and friends....our sincerest condolences.

What a voice and what an inspiration! Kristen was truly full of "joy"! My thoughts and prayers are with the families.
Kristen is now with Jesus beholding His lovely face. She is singing with a host of angels praises to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

"The wound is the place where the light enters you" ~Rumi
Kristen embodied this quote fully - although her body may have been ailing, her spirit shone brightly, and her faith become clear and inspiring. Though many family and friends are now left with wounds of their own, may the same light fill them as well.
October 8, 2013
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
