This is Wendy, Ben and Sarah's sister-in-law. Steve, we only met you and Kristen at Ben and Sarah's wedding, but we have followed you guys through the years through stories from Sarah (a VERY proud auntie). That this is an incredible loss is an understatement, and you will continue to be in our prayers today, and tomorrow and for the years to come. Hugs to you and Kayley and Patrick.

Words can not express the sorrow that myself and my family have for the O'Keefe and Furbush Family. Kristen was an absolutely beautfiul person inside and out, and those who got to know her could tell that in an instant. May you keep all that was good from Kristen (her smile, laugh, beauty, strength, and courageousness) and instill that in her two beautiful children. May God Bless you all during this difficult time, she truly was an angel here on earth and now she is an angel in heaven. Love, prayers and thoughts go out to you all....

Mr and Mrs O'Keefe and John and Paul,
I am so, so sorry for your loss.
Words just can't express how sad and devastated I was when I found out about Kristen. We had a lot of laughs all the way back to BYB days. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. Kristen was an excellent example of a genuinely nice person. I haven't seen her in quite a while and her genuine kindness and upbeat attitude is still so memorable. A huge loss for this world. I'm so sorry. Keith Orlandella
