Kristina, truly beautiful. Loved visiting you so many times, at dinner at Andrea's in New York, on the island in New Hampshire, in Islamorada. For all to know, Kris entrusted me with more than 260 gorgeous quilts she had made to distribute to people at nursing homes and to anyone suffering in any way. She was/is the most gifted generous woman I have ever known. Kris and Jules, a magnificent couple. love from
Sophia Healy and also from Kristina's friends Danielle Rougeau and Alice Strike--Alice, a Greek friend of Sophia who turned out to be related to Kris--came from same town in Greece. Our visits to Islamorada were the fun highpoint of every Florida winter. Thank you Natasha for the beautiful garden for Kris, and for all your care. Lo siento mucho, con amor, sophia

My prayers and love go out to all this beautiful family.
So sorry to hear of your loss.

My condolences to the whole family. Only met you a handful of time but what I could say is that Daphne always talked about you and nothing but amazing memories.

Gorgeous photos. I will miss her so much, and it was a joy to know her. Thinking of you all

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My memories with Kristina were precious. A rare gem she was.

Dear Natasha, Our whole family sends our love. Your mother was amazing. Smart, funny, and of course a brilliant artist. We loved everything about her. Please know we are thinking about you and your children. All our best, Jamie Gangel, Daniel Silva and Phyllis Gangel-Jacob

A true shining star in this dreary world! Your contributions to fashion and art will be memorialized forever. May you find your final rest peaceful, and may your family and friends find solace in such a great loss.
