Kristin’s Story

Site created on November 10, 2019

Dear Friends and Family,


As Kristin is about to undergo surgery, we’ve developed this page and are using it to keep all updated in one place. It was one year ago Kristin was officially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. To none of our surprise, she put on her game face and hasn’t looked back. Her strength exuded through this journey has been inspirational for all. Cancer may have started this fight, but she will finish it! 

We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement.  


Date of surgery: Monday, December 16, 2019 begins at 6:00 am.


Hospital: 
Cleveland University Hospital
11000 Euclid Ave.
Cleveland, OH 44106

Newest Update

Journal entry by Kinsey Griffin

Hi family and friends,

We wanted to let everyone know we’ve decided to postpone the celebration of Kristin’s life.

Given the current circumstances with the global pandemic, we just feel it’s not the right time to celebrate her in the way she deserves. When the time is right, we won’t have to wear masks and can hug as much as we’d like! That’s what Kristin would want. 

We’re hoping we’ll be able to celebrate her at the year mark of her passing, but we’ll update all when the time comes.

Stay safe and healthy and remember to enjoy all the little things!

Love to you all.
Kinsey and family
