Sean ,Kristen and your families ! Your mother had a wonderful life but I know you will miss her! Enjoy life to the fullest
For Kris’s family, I met Kris several years ago at our bead group in Ormond Beach, Florida. She was such a wonderful friend to me. I missed her when she left in the spring and rejoiced when she returned each winter. She was one of the strongest and kindest women I have ever met. She never complained about any of her ailments and always had a beautiful smile! Her strength was always so amazing to me ,as I would try and help her and she would say “I can handle it”. and she did! She will live on for all of you in your hearts and in my heart too! We are never ready to say goodbye to the people we love, but remember that sorrow is a fleeting emotion , but love is infinite! God’s blessing on all of you!
