To my cousin who we grew up in the basement at your house riding trikes around and around!! So many memories to remember!! You will be missed! You are so special to everyone you knew! Love you!! 🌷💐 🌼
Karri,
So sorry for your loss. Your sister was kind soul. Prayers for you and your family at this time.
While I only knew Kristine a few years at the School of Nursing at Columbia University, I know she was a valuable, hard working colleague and jovial friend to all. Kristine had moved back to Missouri when I met her but we had zoom calls and her quarterly visits to become acquainted. As a fellow Catholic we talked about her love of St Patrick’s and Bishop Barron! May her memory be a blessing and sincere sympathy to her family and friends.
I am sorry for such a great loss. My prayers for Uncle Dave and Aunt Marilyn and Karri and family. I will remember Kris and the good times we all had at Grandma and Grandpa’s. Her smile was infectious. Love you all.
Kristine was a force of good and a brilliant and dedicated editor and grants administrator.
She left a legacy of investigators and researchers who are inspired by and indebted to her for her help and motivation. She was a friend, colleague, cheerleader and teacher. My life is better for having known and worked with KK. May her memory be a blessing.
Today I was told of your departure, and I was devastated! You were so full of hope, life and laughter. You taught me to love musicals, and I introduced you to comics. I’ll never forget the exciting convention in Philadelphia and how a stranger gave us free tickets to see Evita. What an ending for your birthday! Yes it was memorable. I also have such fond memories of watching tv with you. The series Smallvile was one of your favorite. And then I had you watch Dark Shadows and you were enthralled. Ah those are great memories. Then you left NY and you never contacted me although I still sent you emails and texts. As time went by, we drifted apart. But I always knew you were happy back in St Louis with your family. Now this news. I never got to say goodbye but I want you to know you will always be in my heart. I know we will meet again. Until that time, save me a front row seat in heaven’s theatre!
