Dear Mike, Jean, and Family, Words cannot express our feelings for your loss. It was always fun to see her at the clinic to catch up on family news, to hear how her boys were growing up so fast and to learn about Guss latest episode of towel ingestion. She was also there to comfort and console on sad days when we lost our pets. She was a a caring and loving person who will be missed so much. You all have our deepest sympathies and we will be praying for Gods strength and comfort for you, Todd, her boys, and for Michael and Jimmie.
She is finally at rest, and life will never be quite the same. Wishing for peace for the ones who loved her best -- Mike, Jean, Todd, Lucas and Mason, Michael and Jim, and her grandmother Dolores. We cannot be there in person, but we are certainly there with you in spirit. Godspeed Kris -- you were very loved. Holding you close in our hearts. Grandpa and Mary Ann
This is deeply saddening to me I'm finding the words so hard to express. I'm glad there is no more suffering for her or her family my thoughts and prayers to everyone who ever knew her. She was the kindest sweetest person who loved her children so much. My prayers for them and for Jean and Mike. I don't understand fully this loss but want all of you to know how wonderful it was to know her and all of you. Sending my deepest thoughts to you during this time.
This was just shared with me, and I wanted to share it here. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us -- one by one -- the chain will link again.
My mom was the greatest mom in the world she cared about everthing and always wanted the best for everyone it was painful to watch but now she is in a better place thanks mom for being theren for everyone we will always keep you close to our hearts
I have been tracing my family tree and I am distantly related to Kristin via her gggrandmother, Mary Warren Heal. I was touched by her obituary and hope that all family members have adjusted themselves to the new reality without her.
