I will miss Kriss. We often bumpted into one another at Cottonwood. She always had a smile and something nice to say.
Jane and I watched her wage a valiant fight. She had spunk and toughness seldome found. She carried out her work with great enthusiasm and dedication while she met challenges that most could not. She was most proud of her family. And I know God was always with her.
We extend our deepest sympathy to John, Moriah, Diane, Don, and Jeff.
Thank God for blessing us with Kriss. You porvided us with a perfect role model that has touched many of us.
Amen

Our caring thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I have special memories of Kristi teaching her piano. I even remembered her the other day because one time she helped me dust my house and when I was dusting thought of her. Fun memory. Our son, Derek, found this for us. Know that many here in Weatherford and the area are praying for you. You touched many lives while living here!!!
Our sympanthy, Dennis and Barbara Messmer
