Kristy, I still think about you all the time. I even say hello to the Monarchs that sometimes seem to follow me around the yard. Time goes so fast but you are missed and loved no less than the day God called you home. I know he had other plans for you in which you were needed to help him. Thank you for the wonderful years that you got to enlighten us. Keep smiling and watching over us. I miss you!!

Uncle Peter, Aunt Donna, and Stefanie,

After being blessed to be there with you in this sad time, witnessing the special and unique bond of LOVE between your family, every faith in my body confirms the Lord WILL get you through each day, and show you He IS with you during this mourning process. The Lord loved you all so much to bless you with Kristy in your lives, and now your blessing will continue as she stays with you watching above...only now, she is garmented the angel in heaven as she was here on earth. And through your angel,she brought our families together once again..hopefully now more frequently than the past. The Lord is holding you all right now, and WILL bless and guide you because of the amazing job you did raising Kristy. My every prayer is with you all. Please, please reach out to your Cali family for anything.

death leaves sadness no one can heal...love leaves memories no one can steal.....someone shared that verse with me recently when I suffered a major unexpected loss in my family about a month ago. It really hit home and made me think. that statement is so true so I wanted to share it with her family and friends...I havent seen Kristy in over 15 years but have reconnected with her briefly online and her talent and love for life was very obvious just through the few conversations that we had online...I just want the family to know they are in my thoughts and prayers and this has really hit home to so many....
