My condolences to Krissy family. I worked with her for quite awhile and I loved our laughs and time together. She was a amazing person kind sole and always there. My greatest memory was her checking in on me even after we no longer worked together. I made a friend that I will cherish forever with her. The world will miss this beautiful soul

I never thought this day would come so soon. It’s very hard to believe you’re gone from the world. You are the person we needed in this world. A light that always shines & never went out. You only knew how to be positive even in tough situations. When hanging out with Abby, I always looked forward to seeing and hanging out with you as well. You left us way to soon. You will always be in our hearts. The good always die young. We know you’re in a much better place now. We will see you again, soon.

I still remember getting on the bus my first day of kindergarten -- how overwhelming it was to a 5-year-old, not knowing where to go or what to do. And then like an angel, Krissy arrived in a shimmery shirt and sat down next to me and started talking like we had been friends for years. She was so vibrant and full of laughter, and most importantly at the time, like a big sister. I'll never forget how kind and welcoming she was. Her essence for me has always been like that shimmery shirt: full of life, colorful, and carefree. She will be so missed.
