Condolences to all of the family from the family of her cousin Dorthea.
My heartfelt condolences to your whole family, Kristi. Your mom Was such a sweet, beautiful person. I’ll never forget first meeting her in Woodstock when you had that cabin and her telling us how unique you are. She was right, of course. She seemed to KNOW her kids and what more could you ask if a mom.
Kristi, Hamlet and Stella
My deepest sympathy at this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all.
