Pat and family,
I have read through the messages on this website and recognized many names. There seems to be a consistent message - Krista was joyous, which she was...plus she had a great smile and a twinkle in her eye. I spent many hours with Krista during our high school years...band, class, time after school and on weekends. We hung out together and with other friends. Krista was full of laughter, plus direct and honest with her thoughts and feelings. I had the opportunity to be in Krista and Pat's wedding. One thing I have never, ever forgotten...seeing the way Krista and Pat looked at each other the first time they saw each other on their wedding day. Again the joy was apparent as well as the smile and twinkle...plus the faith, pure Christian faith. Krista was devoted to her faith, her family and anyone who was part of her life. Pat and family, I am sorry we didn't keep in touch...please keep your memories close at heart. Shelly Walldorff

I am so very sorry to hear of Krista's passing. We went to school together and she brought joy into every room she walked in.
I am proud to say, that Krista was my friend and we always had lots of laughs together.
It's times like this that you regret letting life get in the way and not remain in touch with our friends.
May Gods love and presence surround your family during this very difficult time.
In Christ's Love,
Rechelle Richardson

Dear friends,
I am so sorry to hear about Krista. She was always so sweet and I have doubt that she was a great wife and mother. I know her departure is very difficult for you all and I will be praying for your comfort. Remember also...You will be reunited one day!
God bless,
Dan

May the family have our sincerest condolences & prayers that God will give you comfort during this time. I hope you will keep all the good memories of Krista as I will. She was a very kind & loving person. Rene, Dean & John Hamilton

We have been praying for our neighbors (Krista and her family) for quite some time. Krista was a generous person, last year she gave me extra irises from her garden to plan and we will think of her when they come up for years to come. We are so sad to hear of your loss and will continue to raise her family up in prayer.

Krista was a wonderful lady, that I had the pleasure to work with from time to time. I always looked forward to the days that Krista would be at our facility. Even after I was laid-off, whenever I saw Krista she wanted to know how my family and I were doing. She was such a sweet, caring and compassionate woman, that was a GREAT asset to our community. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family during this very tough time. May god wrap his arms around you and comfort you.

I'll always remember Krista as the sweet girl at church who was soft spoken and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I know she will be missed by her family, friends and everyone whose life she touched but I also know she is safe in the Lord's care. We'll see her one of these days, again!

I am so sorry to hear of Krista's passing. I knew Krista as the beloved younger sister of Jenean. Simply the mention of Krista's name would cause Jenean's eyes to sparkle with love and adoration. Pretty special just to witness. My condolences to Krista's entire network of family and friends.

To Krista's family:
Krista was our caseworker when Electrolux closed. Her encouragement and wonderful sense of humor were such a blessing to us. We are very sorry to hear of her passing and will always remember her fondly. She touched our lives in a very positive way as we're sure she touched many others. Again, we are so sorry and you have our sympathies. Godspeed, Krista. Bless you.

Know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. We share your pain.
Hold Us Up Lord
Lord, we know Youre always busy,
For Youve many things to do,
But when sorrow overcomes us,
Well, we need to talk to You,
For weve lost
Someone precious,
And theyre with You
there above,
And its someone
that we needed,
And its someone
That we love.
We are feeling lost and all alone,
And though we do believe,
We need You, Lord, to hold us up,
To help us while we grieve.
Please give us strength and courage, Lord,
To bear what we must bear,
And nudge us when our faith is weak
To remind us You are there.
Give us hope for our tomorrows,
Tell us life will still go on,
Show us, Lord, that all this darkness
Will be followed by the dawn.
You have led us through so many things,
Youve pulled us through before,
Hold us up, Lord, till were through this
And we are strong once more.

Wilcox Family- we are so sorry to learn of Krista's death. She was an inspiration because of her smile, friendliness and enthusiasm. She will be sorely missed. Although Krista's lifetime was much too short, you must know how fortunate you are to have had such a positive role model and such a caring, involved Wife & Parent. Many family members never experience that kind of love. Our best to you both and to your family as a whole and please know that our thoughts are with you as is our deepest sympathy. Sincerely, Bob & Lori Reed
