If anyone is reading this,  this is Alisha.  I'm not even sure why I'm writing on here. Just need a way to feel connected to her I guess. Its been 9 years this November. We r all doing so very well, but not having our mom is the hardest thing any of us has had to go thru. Her memory lives on everyday , in Alexis's face, in Paiges spirit and in Madisens heart . I see more and more of her everyday in my sisters and she would be so proud of all 5 of us if she were still here.  

Hey mom. . Really been missing you lately... - Paige..

My sincere condolences to the family of Kristine.
Although I have not seen many of you in years,just yesterday I was out for a ride & ended-up out @ the beach in Otisville where we used to hang out & thought about the fun times with the Barnett klan...

Josh, Alisha, Paige, Lexi, and Maddy, 
I am so sorry about your loss. Your mom was amazing even though I only met her once; and for a short time, but in that time she made me laugh multiple times! Even though she was sick she hide the pain when I met her, and you all know she is at peace now, and I know she will be greatly missed. I'm here for you guys if you need anything. 
With love and condolences,
Emily Mills

I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up with Kris, lived on Diana st with her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Josh and Lou 
Aunt Debbie and Nick love you so much. You are always in our heart and prayers. I loved your mom dearly, she was a big part of our lives for so many years.  She will be truly missed.  Call if you need anything.  We are here for you during this difficult time.

Kristine and I have been friends longer than I can remember. She was always so funny and full of laughs! I'll never forget sleeping in a tent in her backyard for a birthday party in 3rd or 4th grade! We also know how much she LOVED Def Leppard! I believe her family gave her a concert ticket that year and she was ecstatic! I'll also never forget the bright blue mascara we so loved to wear in high school! It was at her house in 10th grade when we watched the premier viewing of Michael Jackson's Thriller video! So many more memories but these were the best!
I was just contacted through Facebook by Kris and it was so nice to message each other and get filled in on our lives of the past 25 years. My heart is very sad to hear the news of her passing. She was a wonderful soul and I remember her fondly. R.I.P. my dear friend.
To her family, God will hold you in the palm of His hands.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 
                                 Psalm 23

My heart goes out to Kris'  family through this difficult time...Kris and I were the best of friends growing up...even though life happens and we lost touch, I will always cherish the memories of laughter and all the fun we had. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Her daughter, Paige and my granddaughter attend school together.  My granddaughter, Kaylie just recently lost her mother also.  Our prayers are with you.

Love Marcia (Rathburn) Crane

Madisen, your mom is not in pain anymore. She is now your guardian angel. She will watch you and guide you forever. I am sending hugs and praying for your heart to stop aching.

Josh I am so so sorry for your loss.. I remember your mom coming to school to help out and she was always so full of life. My heart goes out to you during this hard time as I know loosing a parent is so hard. My deepest thoughts and prayers. Always , Nikki ( Buchanan ) Welch

To all of Kristine's children and Scott Gifford:  Words cannot express how much we loved Kristine.  We were proud to be her Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Joe, even though she was no blood relation.  We love her and miss her, but someday we will see her again.  Scott stayed at her bedside continually, and he will be rewarded someday.  We love all of you.

Alisha, Alexis, Paige: our hearts go out to you and your family in this time of great sorrow. Words cannot describe what you are going thru. I am confident that some day you will be reunited with your mom. But until then, she will continue to watch over you and remain in your hearts forever. We love you!! Bridget Shaw, Nick Chema, and Olivia Chema
