I met Kristine about 3 years ago. I was at my work station and she came up to me and asked “Are you Connie?” When I told her that I was, she said “I heard your daughter has breast cancer. I made these bracelets for the both of you”. I was so touched by her kindness! She didn’t even know me, had just heard through the work grapevine that my 34 year old daughter had breast cancer. The bracelets were beautiful, one said Faith, and the other…yes, you guessed it…Believe!
Such a sweet lady and I will miss her!
RIP my friend.

Kristine and I loved chatting about our beloved fur friends. She was always so positive and upbeat and found the silver lining in a situation. I will miss her. My heart is broken for your family and I will pray for you all. I’m so grateful Thelma found a good home. I’ve been praying for her as well.
I remember when she first came to our school and she,was sitting in the hallway by the library waiting for class. I went over and introduced myself and she was just a chatty Cathy happy to have someone to talk to…she was funny and outgoing…she will be missed
Never forget when I retired Of all the people I worked with Kristine bought me a corsage to wear, what a nice gift. Great coworker and friend!
Such a sweat soul left us way to soon. You will be missed by all who was blessed to know you. Rest in Peace. Prayers being lifted up for peace and understanding. Ron and Sheila Nost

I was so very sorry to hear about Kristine’s passing. Early on, I worked with her at Rockwell Collins. Even after we moved to different areas, Kristine often stopped by to ‘check up’ on me – like a mom. Her bubbly personality and always present smile were a welcome sight. She was quick to volunteer and her enthusiasm was contagious. I had the pleasure of meeting Palmer Brown and Little Man when Kristine lived in Mt.Vernon. She was a good friend and I miss her very much. sherry mysak
