Dear Garry, I just learned today that Kris passed away two weeks ago. I had seen her FB posts about her diagnosis; however, Dana and I don't get on FB very often and he just saw the news yesterday. Please accept our deepest condolences on her passing. You both have been in our thoughts here in Bellevue, NE.

Just got word of Kris' passing. I have fond memories of her and although we had only met in person a couple times, I could tell she was one of those special people. My condolences to Garry and the rest of the family and close friends. She will definitely be missed.

Kris was so in touch with the world around her. I hope I have learned some of her insight and can apply it in my life. Garry and Kris worked so well together, we hope we can help him try to adjust as we move forward. We lost a good friend but God gained a true angel.
I need a good cry but she would not want that so I will try to focus on the fun we all had. God be with you
