Kris and I have been best friends since 7th grade. Although our communication throughout the years has been off and on, I am happy and blessed that we have gotten together regularly the past couple of years.
Kris, I will miss your smiles, hugs and big heart. I can't believe you are gone. You will remain in my heart.
To your family and other friends, I send my deepest and most sincere sympathy, as well as my prayers.

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
