Tributes & Memories

I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. I first met Kristen @ decision one, she come in full of life, with a open mind and a readiness to learn the computer. I was so impressed with her and was so proud when she passed with flying colors because she had shared with us as a class that she hadn't ever been around a computer. I thought WOW !! that's so awesome, I then become to get to know her and love her and become her friend. She was always so sweet because she always told me that I was so smart and I would always tell her no your giving me too much credit, I have been given the same opportunities and just learned thru the years. As the time passed she and I become good friends and we shared, happy moments, tears, fears and private thoughts, and was even there for me as a shoulder to cry on when my grandmother passed, thats what a wonderful gal she was!! I then was able to see her progress thru and get hired on at US Cellular I was so proud of her that she had progressed and was successful. Then a mutual friend and I were talking one day and she had shared with me of Kristen's illness and I was so saddened to hear that my friend was sick, the person that I had worked with for a couple of years only to learn that she had become sick :(. I pray and hope that with all the technology we have come with because cancer is such a nasty disease that we find a cure,along with diabetes. So many people I have talked to and myself lost a aunt to it. I want you know she will be dearly missed and that she was loved by many, my prayers are that she went peacefully and that the lord may be close to your family in your time of need. I will hope to be attending her service to pay my respect along with my friend who called me yesterday to alert me of her passing. God Bless.
