Kris was a wonderful sister in-law. She was a lot of fun and both my sons, daughters in-law grandchildren loved her. She will be greatly missed. Loved you!❤️
I had the pleasure of meeting Kris during her stay at Spring Hills. She was my grandmothers roommate. The two of them were a riot together. They were nicknamed “The Golden Girls” by some of the staff there. I want to thank her for making my grandmothers stay there as enjoyable as it could be. Sending my condolences to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. 💜🙏🏻
Love and prayers to Paul and the girls ❤️ I had the pleasure of working with Kris at BMS and continued contact for years later. So heart broken to hear the news may she rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏻
So sorry to hear this. I worked with Kris at BMS in Hopewell, such a nice person. May she rest in peace.
