Fond memories will be cherished, and her spirit will continue to live through her children.

She will be the hand reaching to help you when you fall and the foot kicking you in the pants when you need it. Remember to call on her and be ready to listen. Love you guys.
My sympathy to the family and friends of Kristine. I enjoyed working with Kristine and Debbie at Interim Health Care here in Asheville and also enjoyed when Anna and Robert came to visit. I am so sorry, Debbie. God’s grace be with you and your family.
Words cannot begin to express the empathy and sympathy I feel for all of you at this time. Doug ‘? I am so glad Kristine found such a wonderful man as you, a supportive soul mate; she was blessed to have you as part of her life. Jo and Tom ‘? I can understand your heartbreak in losing such a wonderful child and also the blessings she brought to your lives. Debbie ‘?I can understand how you feel at the loss of your closest sibling; you two were always there for each other. I was always impressed by Kristine’s perseverance, fortitude and spiritual faith.
Anna and Robert ‘? my special thoughts and prayers are especially with both of you. You were and will always remain the focus of your Mother’s love and devotion. She is now your guardian Angel, watching over all you do, delighting in your accomplishments, sharing your joys (and disappointments), encouraging and supporting your dreams, and content in the positive values she imbued in both of you.
I have enjoyed working with Kristine for a number of years at CarePartners. I am so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers for comfort during this most difficult of times
Doug, We were deeply saddened to hear of Kristine’s passing. We will continue our prayers for you and family members as you go through this difficult time.
We know your memories of the time the two of you had together and God’s grace will give you strength to make it. Please know, the shag dance community in WNC will miss her!
Holding you in our thoughts and prayers and sending our heartfelt sympathy,
I am lifting all Kristine’s family up in prayer. She was a wonderful woman, mother and sister to Debbi.
I worked with her at Interim several years and she will be missed. I saw her twice in the past year and am comforted that she is no longer suffering in this world. Anna and Robert may you be comforted by family and friends.
I was so sorry to see Kristine’s obituary in the local paper this morning. I worked with Kristine and her mother many years ago at the Roberson Museum and Science Center in Binghamton NY. Kristine was attending Broome Community College at the time and I remember very well when she moved to NC. I also remember her mother sharing her wedding photos with us. To Kristine’s family and many friends, please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.
