I have so much to tell you but our little talk will have to wait abit. Please watch over this old aunt of yours and keep her out of trouble....Uncle John and I will miss you beyond words and LOVE YOU FOREVER...

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter Kristina. Another life lost far too soon. It is a cruel trick of nature when a child predeceases her parents. Words don't seem to be adequate, so I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

I first met Kristina when I started working at verizon wireless on july 14 2008. We became friends in transition I commented on her new hair color when she dyed her hair. We slowly talked and hung out on lunches and then became good friends... there was few days when we didn't see eachother in and out of work. We make dinners together and watched endless hours watching desprate house wives. we shared stories and secrets, times together I will never ever forget. I loved her as my sister she was my best friend. I love you Ms. Kris Kniff, hey girl hey to you and I hope to see you soon I will miss you dearly. To Mrs. and Mr. kniffin, Kim and Raymond... You are always in my thoughts, I wish you peace as well.

Kristina --
I first met you when you started in Transition at VZW. I was one of your TA's. Anytime I saw you on the floor, in the hall, or anywhere in the building after that, I was always greeted with a "hello" & a smile. It was such a sad moment when I found out about your passing at such a young age.
To your friends & family that love you - as long as they keep memories of you in their minds & hearts, you will never be forgotten.
August 10, 2009
Life is too short for some. Kristina was a bright spot in my second grade class. Her smile shone like the sun. She challenged herself to do more, always do a little more. I am so sorry to have to say goodbye now. My prayers are with you all at this terribly painful time.

I knew you in highschool, but we never kept in touch. You were a kind and sweet person. I used to always see you at kohls and we would say hi to eachother. I know your in peace and looking down at your family and watching over them.

Tami, Brian, Kim, and Raymond, mere words cannot begin to comfort you during the loss of your beloved daughter and sister, but know that friends near and far hold you up in prayer and in their hearts. Tami, though I'm not near you in person, I will always be there for support and friendship. May God watch over and bless you, may He always shine his face upon you, and keep your Kristina forever in the palm of his hand.

I remember when I first saw you. You were only 12 months old when you,grandma,and mommy came down to Fla to visit me. You grew up to be a beautiful and wonderful young lady.I will miss you dearly. You would give or do anything for anybody because that's the kind of heart you had.
When I look in the sky and see the brightest star just twinkling away I know it will be you saying hi and telling everyone you are just fine.
Love you and miss you sweetie

Kristina, I don't know if I have the "right" words to describe how I feel right now...but I don't need help finding them either. The problem is there is just so much to say...
We've been friends for 11 years...11 beautiful, wonderful, years...filled with good times, sad times, fun times, tragic times and everything in between. We watched eachother grow up. From junior highschool girls who thought we knew it all to young adults who quickly realized we had a lot more to learn. You were there through it all. You were my rock, my shoulder to cry on, the person who knew ALL my secrets...and I know there will never be another person who can fill that void in my heart. I know that you are in a better place, and I know that someday we will meet again...but I just want so badly to see your beautiful smile again and be able to hug you and laugh with you. I keep thinking about our last conversation a week ago...about you getting better and settling down and having kids so we could get matching mini vans to bring our kids to soccer practice with. You had so many dreams and such a big kind heart...you would have done anything for anyone. I will always hold onto the good memories of you, Kristina, I will never forget them or let them fade in my mind. I love you...and I will forever miss you. Please watch over me and someday we will meet again in Heaven...we will pick right up from where we left off...and we will get those matching minivans...I promise!!! I love you, girl.
Love Always,
Your "biffle"

Time. It's such an elusive thing. We all think we have it and then it disappears. I watched you grow inside your mother's belly. I felt you move inside. The happiness and joy of when you were born. The thrill of being your godmother. Your smile, your love. Watching you grow, succeed being the beautiful person you are. I will cherish those memories. I will miss you terribly. I will love you always

Dear Kristina you will be missed terribly by not only your family, but by all those who loved you so very dearly including Diego. Words cannot express the sense of loss that everyone is feeling, but may they find comfort that you are now resting finally in peace in the heavens with all the beautiful angels by your side. You are now finally whole once again.
