Kristin was such an amazing person. We knew each other briefly when we were young, but reunited at Celebration Montessori when she taught my children, Andrew & Caroline. We had many, many wonderful talks. What an amazing woman she was! She was one of the sweetest, most caring and compassionate people I've ever known. Children and adults alike were drawn to her kindness. What a blessing her life was. I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. My heart is deeply saddened. I'm sorry I didn't attend the services; I just heard last night. I would have been there. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. May God give you comfort, strength and peace.

To the Caro Family - I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Kristin in high school but really got to know her when we pledged the same sorority at WSU and were in the same pledge class. Even though I had not seen or spoken to Kristin in many years, I remember that she was always a fun, loving and sweet person to everyone and always had a smile on her face. I pray that God will give you and your family comfort in this very difficult time and that you find strength in Him to carry you through.

I can't express the heartache I feel from your loss. Matt was my pledge brother, the loss of him was such a hit to the heart, now to find out that Kristin has passed too is such a devastating loss. To the Caro family...I'm truly sorry for your loss, Kristin was the sweetest person I ever met. I hope you are doing fine during this tough time and find strength within each other .
Take Care,

My sincere sympathies for your loss. I knew Matt and Kristin when I was little and we carpooled to pre-school, and went on a family ski trip together. We were all re-aquainted at WSU and Tri-Delta, and I enjoyed that time with them.
May God grant you peace.

Frank, Carol and Family-
It has been many years since our families have been in contact...words are not enough to express our sympathy.

I spoke to my brother Zak yesterday and we shared how all of our childhood memories of Price Elementary and the neighborhood include Kristen and Matt. They were amazing, and truly stand out in our memories.

We are so sorry.

To Kristin's family - I am so sorry for your loss. Although I had not been in contact with Kristen for several years, I do remember her as a beautiful, kind, compassionate young lady.

Kristen and I worked together at Capitol Federal Savings in the early 90's. She was wonderful with customers. My first daughter was born while Kristen and I worked together. My daughter is now 13. I still have the precious outfit Kristen gave us for our daughter.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. May your wonderful memories give you comfort in the days ahead.

I am frantacally rummaging through my brain to find any logic in this. My tongue dare not speak what my ears will deny.
The words of men cannot capture thirty-two years of smiles, laughter, hope and grace.
For the family and friends I pray.

I have so many fond memories of Kristin. We were close friends in our "coming of age" years. We graduated from high school together a year early, then went on to pledge the same sorority at Wichita State. I always admired her for her poise, grace, intelligence, beauty, sense of humor and, perhaps most of all, her classiness. As a friend, Kristin was supportive, caring and a wise counsel. I am undoubtedly a better person for having known her.

Kristin and I lost touch for several years, and I always missed her. But I was so fortunate to have seen her on her last birthday, when my husband and I were visiting family in Wichita. She was just as beautiful and smart and funny as I had always known her to be, and I am so very thankful for having been able to spend that brief evening with her last December. We had a great time.

Kristin's life had a tremendous impact on so many people, and it was far too short. She will be sorely missed.

I do not know any of you, but I was looking for a friend's guest book here and found Kristin's instead. What a beautiful, vibrant woman she was. A picture sometimes tells a lot about a person. You can just see love, caring, kindness and compassion resonating through her in the photo shown.
I send my prayers and sympathies to the family, and to all those whose lives she touched. Praying God and beautiful memories will bring you peace and comfort.
