May God be with you in your time of need and sorrow I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry to hear about Kristy. I dont think we actually saw each other since I dropped by the hospital after Josh was born while I was home from the Air Force. High school would not have been the same without her living next door, and the world is not the same without her in it now.
So saddened to hear. Praying peace for all! I am glad she stopped by last year.
My deepest condolences. While I hadn’t seen Kristy for the better part of 30 years, she was an amazing human being.
