With love and happy memories of my cousin Kristy-Kris to me.

Remembering the swimming, ice skating and guitar playing; you were always better at all three than me. You taught me how to make sassafras tea; looking for the roots with you across from Uncle Les was the most fun for me.

So sad that you are no longer with us. We don't get to decide that part do we?... I will always remember you with your pretty smile, blonde hair and that you used to call me, Dawnie.

I will never forget my special cousin Kris.
