I met Kristi about 17 years ago thru the CPA firm. We hit it off instantly❤️ Her giggle and smile were just the best. She was always a tremendous help and we often shared stories about our kids and families. Please know you all are in my prayers and blessings for peace. Paula (and James) Fairchild
I want to say you all are in my prayers. Kristi could always take a joke, especially when she would call everyday to find out what you were going to do about lunch. She will be missed.
We were very fortunate to meet Kristie at St. Peter’s Church, she and Gary would sit next to us and she would keep me up to date with her treatments and how she was feeling. I admired her spirit, she was always upbeat and always had a smile. I was very sad to read of her passing but I know she is no longer suffering .
So sadden by Kristi’s passing. She was one of a kind, with all she went through, always a smile and laughter. Kristi you always stayed strong! Will miss you! Carol and Steve
