To Kris’ family, my heart goes out to you at this time of loss. I pray that Jesus will give you comfort. A couple of years ago we had an exercise class in Kalamazoo together for those who had had cancer. I am so grateful that class brought Kris into my life, she was an example of how to still love life no matter what it throws at you. She loved her family, working on her class reunion information and doing crafts. She was an inspiration to me and I am sure to others as well.

So sad not to have seen her this many years and now cannot. Loved her sense of humor, her big heart and the way she looked at life. Always loved her enthusiasm taking on new projects like remodeling her trailer etc. She was the type of friend you could turn to when you were at the end of your rope and she would pull you back. Kris loved her children fiercely. I miss her.
