I was working up in Park city staying at a house pet sitting a dog for a week and asked Kristy to come up with me over night so I wasn't alone. The drive up the canyon together was a blast, we were blasting music singing along with it and laughing the whole way. When we got there we watched movies in the theater, did spray tans and ate a tun of junk food, just enjoying ourselves. We had a heart to heart and all she talked about was how much she loved her family and kids. She talked about all the things she wanted to do in life and she talked about her struggles and challenges she had overcome and how much she had grown from them. Kristy was an amazing person with the best heart I know of, she was always willing to help someone in need and was always there for me when I needed someone. I miss her so much and will always keep her in my heart and prayers.

I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" (Isaiah 61:1, 2) sustain your family during this challenging time. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Kristy had the most beautiful eyes and light within her. She shared this light with others through her talent for flare and style. Kristy wasn't just your average Cosmetologist but rather it was personal to her that you left feeling more beautiful than you did when you arrived at her salon. Over the years I came to understand just how much she loved her beautiful children and how she loved life. Kristy has left her mark on our hearts and will live on through her children, family and friends. Love you forever
