Kristine was definitely her own person. She wasn't afraid to express her opinion, she always teased me about the way I dressed. Promised me one day she would make me dress like a girl..HAHA. We didn't always see eye to eye but I will always love her like a sister. She always teased I was her "cuddle buddy". I will always love you Kristine. Thanks for all of the laughs you gave us.

We at Union Park Health Services are very sad to hear of the passing of Kristine. She was an amazing person and we all really thought a lot of her.
She was always positive and willing to do whatever it took to make her family happy. .
We will miss her. Prayers to the family.
