Wow, I´ve known Kris since her teenage years! Then she worked at Hansen´s where I worked , then she waited on me at Red Lobster in Terre haute and finally she delivered parts to Hansen´s from Holzmeyer and I was still there. She was always so happy and smiling and always asked me about my family . I saw her a few weeks ago at the dollar store and we chatted for a short time and talked about her mom. So sorry to hear she´s gone my sympathy to Corellyn , Jordyn and Mark
