Her Love
Bring comfort to my heart I pray,
I’ve lost a dear, dear friend.
She understood and loved me,
With a love that will not end.
I’ll carry it within me,
And give it all away.
To each of my own children,
As I live with them each day.
And when my years have been fulfilled,
My time on earth is gone,
The love she richly gave to me,
Will still be living on.

What a beautiful tribute. We never had the opportunity to meet Kris, but from what I’ve heard and read, she was a outstanding, caring person. May I reach out to you Kim and your family my heartfelt condolences.
Melissa Reed says
I am so very sorry for this incredible loss, but I am also thankful I saw Kris the day before she passed. She was so hopeful for the future and was always talking about her wonderful family and children. In the brief time I knew Kris, she made an impact on my life for sure. She will never be forgotten and her entire family will remain in my thoughts and heart.

Oh Kim, Michael, Timothy, Taylor & William, I am so sorry, so so sorry. Kris was such a powerhouse, a fun, good mom and great on the grill. I’m grateful I got to know her at the pool parties and am keeping you all in my prayers. Please know that you are loved every day.

I just learned about your loss and I am so very sorry. I worked in wildlife with Kris and I considered her to be a friend. Years later, I would sometimes run into her around the community and she was always such a joy to see and talk to. Kris was always so funny and full of energy. She looked out for other people. She was always so willing to help others and she was a great mom. I remember her well and I am very saddened by this news. I know that Kris loved her family so much. I am very sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you all.
