I met Kris at AlT while we were both studying to be paralegals at Fort Gregg-Adams. The sweetest individual I've ever met, instantly took me under her wing when I first got there. She frequented our room so much we always called her our "fourth roommate." Always a friendly face and someone I knew I could talk to. She will be greatly missed.
