John, thank you so much for your heartfelt post. I hope that you and your family are making progress toward healing. Knowing Kris' selfless nature, I feel she would want you and all the people who loved her to find happiness in their hearts again. I hope too that reading the posts by all the people who loved and admired Kris will give you some measure of comfort and help with your healing. I feel honored to have known Kris. She made every life she touched a better one.
Beautifully said, John. My heart breaks for you, but I am so glad you and Kris found each other on your high school retreat and that you had so many wonderful years together. Kris was such an angel to so many and I can honestly say I never heard anyone say anything but positive things about her. I know the folks at NEOMED (one of my clients) loved her. We all did. You continue to be in my prayers. God bless you all!! Velda
John and family, How thoughtful of you to post for us! It’s still hard to imagine a world without Kris in it. Every time I walk into Neomed I still can see her face and her smile and almost hear her kind words. She was a gem and all of us are better people for having known her. Surely she is in the eternal life and watching over all. You will continually be in my thoughts and prayers.
I didn’t know Kris that well, just through her work at NEOMED. But I could tell that she was a special person. I feel fortunate to have known her at all. She was such a warm, caring person and she always seemed so happy. I could tell that she loved her work, but the largest part of her happiness was her wonderful family. I was with the group at Cleveland State the night she got us started off and then hurried to catch a plane to Boston because a new grandchild was arriving. She couldn’t wait to get there and see her daughter and the new baby. I’ll always remember her. She will be missed.
Hi John,
I was looking through my emails and saw the ‘caring bridge’ had a message ... I was curious then happy to read it was from you ... it’s nice to hear from you and to know how you are doing... It’s personal yet it helps us keep informed
Ashley and Tara are really talented and gifted in their writing and to give such details to all that was going on.. and the pictures chosen to be posted❤️
I too think of Kris often and as you know she was so very special!
Love, Lisa
John,
My prayers have continued for you, for Aunt Martha and Uncle Tony, for your kids and grandkids, and for her sisters and brother. Last night I was thinking of all of you. Kris was a beautiful, kind, lovable person but you are well aware of that. She touched so many lives in positive ways. Everyone who knew her looked forward to seeing her, and we all seek to see her again one day.
Thank you so much for the heartfelt note. I imagine reading the posts were uplifting but incredibly sad at the same time. Kris was lucky to have a husband , family and friends who adored her.
Dear John, whata beautiful and heartfelt note of appreciation. Truly spoken from the heart. It's totally understandable that you never read these messages as every minute and second was valuable to you to have her by your side. The love between the 2 of you was obvious and truly blessed. Her spirit will always remain with you and her legacy will live on through you and the children and grandchildren. Lean on family and friends to bring you through those tough times but allow yourself also to grieve as you lost a very real and important part of your life but not forever. We all long for that day to be reunited with our loved ones. God-bless you and you in the family will remain in my prayers. Be blessed my friend. Life eternal Kris!
