To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I taught Kristian when she was in second grade at Churchwell. I didn't find out until tonight since I'm no longer in Lakeland. I remember Kristian so fondly! She was very quiet, but a wonderful sweet and loving student. She always hugged me and started each day with a big smile. Kristian was a dedicated student, loved school, and really excelled in it. I can't imagine the pain you all must be feeling. Please know that there are so many of us out there who were touched by Kristian and know just how special she truly was. Your family is in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May your memories bring you comfort.
I work at Polk Community College and have represented the college at many elementary school graduations. I've watched the joy on these students’ faces when they receive a Fancelli Family Future Leader Scholarship. It was touching to hear that the framed scholarship certificate Kristian so treasured was with her in her coffin.

My heart goes out to Kristians' family. Kristian was one of the best students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching in my 6th grade science class. She will be missed by everyone at Kathleen Middle who knew her. She was a precious little girl and I enjoyed seeing her smiling face everyday. We will all miss her giggles and smiles.

It was a pleasure to know Kristian while I was a teacher at Churchwell Elementary. She wasn't even my student, yet she knew my name and said hi to me every time she saw me. She always had a smile and something nice to say. I'll always remember that.
