sending love to your family and  i wanted them to know ,you ll never be forgotten

Hi Kristen thinking of you today and wanted you to give my little angels a hug today. Thanks, Love you! Tom

I forgot to mention the sacrifices Richard made for you on a constant basis without a thought.  Though I've never met him, your mom tells me all about how terrific he is.

Kristen, I've been praying hard for you.  How is it that someone who was here for just 20 years before life was stolen from them meant so much to so many?  I'm keeping your dad, Kyle, Ayden in my thoughts but most of all your AMAZING mother Theresa and your INCREDIBLE from Grandma Marti to your Aunts (Anna, Val, Karen)who all sacrificed so much to be there with you every day and make sure you were not ever alone in that place.  They willingly sacrificed for you to be there with you on a daily basis because that's just how special you are.  I can't say "were" because that's past tense and though you are gone now, your specialness is still here and felt by them.  I can't thank you enough for walking John thru some of his questions about chemo as he faces his journey with lymphoma.  You are and will always be an amazing young lady blessed with a family to be envied.

Everyday I still can't believe this beautiful,vibrant and brave woman was taken from us. God sure did pick a beautiful angel. I'm sure she is dancing all over heaven. God bless Theresa, Kyle and Ayden.

Kristen   Today is October 23rd. Looking back on your pictures makes my heart break.  I am so proud of you and how brave you were throughout this horrible diease.  I talk to you everyday and kiss your pictures. My heart breaks for mommy and daddy  Kyle, and Ayden and especially for the Love of your life Richard.
I promise you I will try my best to take care of anyone you loved that is in need.  Rest in Peace Darling with no pain
Until we meet again!
Your're loving GRAMMA PAT

Kristen may you now find true happiness and feel no pain. Let us not wonder why but thank the lord for our opportunity to know such a special person.

I didnt know Kristen but felt I did through cousin Patty's pictures.  thinking and praying for of all of you! 

Love 
Amy (plainville, CT)

sorry for your loss.  i don't know here but i feel as thought i do for all the 
wonderful things bill tells me about her.

sorry again for the loss and my god watch over your all during your future.

Heartfelt condolences to Scott, Theresa, Kyle, Richard and my dear friend Patti.  Even though I never met Kristen, we corresponded by letters.  When my mother past away last December, Kristen wrote me a letter to comfort me in my time of grieving. Kristen not only expressed her love and compassion to me, but more importantly revealed her faith and her love of God.  Here are some of Kristens words to me.  "Please have faith that your dear mother is in the best hands of all now.  Visualize her in total peace and tranquility as she is now with Him. Now you have a beautiful angel looking over you, protecting you as she did when you were a child. I pray for you and your family.  Let her spirit be a gift to you." Love, Kristen...I hope Kristens words of faith can bring comfort to her family, as they did to me. Kristen is now that beautiful angel...

Condolences to Kristen's family and friends.

Kristen
Today I am feeling so sad.   Please give me the strength to get through this horrible feeling
I'll always love you!
GRAMMA PAT

I love you so much as I told you every day through this journey.  Richard the wonderful person he is loves you so much also and I told him that I loved him.
May you rest in peace  forever
I LOVE YOU
Gramma Pat!
(Patricia)
Please take care of Kristen     soon she will be the top angel in heaven  (organizing everything)  She was the best at it

Heartfelt condolences to Kristen's loved ones.  She touched so many on earth and now she is one of God's brightest angels watching over each one of you and dancing in heaven.

I never met you but you made an impact in my life. You have touched so many lives Kristen and I bet you are totally amazed at how many and how much people loved you. You touched many lives and that is a gift. RIP sweet Kristen.

I had a dog, that died not to long ago. Max at 11 months. People say that max was an extremely special little dog, that touched everyone. I say, that he was an angel sent to teach us all a lesson. Kristen was one of them too. God lets them touch everyone around them to a certain point in life then takes them back up to heaven again. I remember how Max touched everyone he saw, those little things that people loved about him, his floppy ears, goofy spirit, and everything you can pick out. Kristen was exactly that way. Those little things people were attracted to, to make her so special. And then they're taken out of our lives and it feels like our heart is ripped out of our chests. But we have to remember, they're soul has gone to touch other people, as angels, as people, as friends, as pets, or maybe even just a small talk. We know they've touched us all in great ways.

So sorry to hear about your loss. With deepest sympathy. 
No words can ease the pain. With much love for you, Theresea, and all of your family.

We will remember Kristen as a very fine young lady that any mother would be proud to call their own.  The Lord had a dfferent plan for Kristen.  She will be an angel dancing through the heavens.  Kristen, you will be sadly missed by all of the dancers at DABR and their families.

Amy Mammana and Samantha Enslow

Life is not a race it's a journey, your journey has now taken you to a superior place.  You loved life and you lived it to the fullest in your short time. As a back stage dance Mom I saw the young lives you touched and I appreciate how lucky we were to have you on earth.  Go put those pointe shoes on and put on a great show with Mr. Michael.

Deepest sympathy to you and your family on you lost.  David always talked about her and was always concerned.  Know your pain and thinking about you.  Let me know if I can help you in any way.  Christine and Xavier

Theresa, "May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends."  Thinking of you & all The Pollocks & Winkels.  What an amazing girl you brought into this world!  She is safe in heaven now.  With love, Carrie, Scott & Presley

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter, Kristen.  My family only knew her for a few short months last year when she would babysit my boys. She was such a free spirit and the boys enjoyed when she would watch them and I enjoyed our chats before she would leave to go home. She put up a good fight and did it with dignity and humor in her posts. Your family is in our prayers during this time of sorrow.

Such a beautiful human being! That smile was so warm and sincere. I will never forget you, angel!

I loved Krissy like my own daughter and remember all of the special times she shared with Kimmy.  She will be missed.....

Bless you and your family. Treasure your memories

Scottie and family. my heart breaks for you. I share your pain at losing your baby girl. My thoughts and love have been with you every day since I heard this tragic news. My tears fall with yours.

I still remember Kristen's beautiful little face in my classroom.  She was such an angel.  She was an angel on Earth and now she will be our guardian angel in heaven.  She brought sunshine to all our lives and she will always be with us.  We love her and will miss her, but know she is always beside us.  You were the student every teacher holds deep in their heart.

We will never forget Kristen, nor her grace and courage, which will remain as inspiration to us.

Dear Scott and family, We are so sorry for your loss. We never met Kristen, but felt we knew and loved her as if we had met. It is all because of photos and updates from her gramma Pat, who loved her so. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

So terribly sorry for your loss. No words can take the pain away.But I can Send you a small Quote.
"God saw that she was tired, a cure was not to be. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered"come to me".
A golden heart was taken, hard working hands at rest. Please always know that God only takes the best."
Prayers to the entire family in your time of such saddness.

Kristen, you were always thoughtful of others. Through out your fight with cancer you took the time to think of us and Aydens grand parents by sending her dance photos and thoughtful gifts for my son,John and Debbie. I don't think words then or now can adequately express our appreciation for being such a wonderful woman and amazing big sister to Ayden and honorary cousin to my son. You left us honored to have known you and sad that the time was cut short. We love and miss you.

Scott, Theresa and family.  Kristen was a beautiful young lady who always brightened up the room when she entered.  You both raised an amazing daughter who will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew her.  My heartfelt prayers are with both of you.   Love to you all (Kyle and Ayden too)   Kayleen Pawlak (Boca Raton, FL.)Begin your entry here.

Dear Theresa and family, Kristen will forever be an inspiration to me. She was a beautiful person and will live on in the hearts of all of us. Heaven has received an amazing angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest thoughts and condolences to you all. Rest in Peace sweetie...

I always noticed Kristen at the dance studio each year at picture time.  She had a lovely smile and her spirit shone thru!  I was so impressed by her kindness, her appreciation of others and her sense of humor. 

When she brought her little sister to my studio this past June; we were trying to pick the photos out and she commented "they were so good she was ready to tear out her hair."  It still stays with me today! 

What a lovely young lady you raised.  You are in our prayers and may God comfort you and your family at this time.

Theresa and family, We are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.  Sending you prayers, strength and love.

It was my great pleasure to know Kristen. She was filled with hopes, dreams and plans from the first time we met to the last. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends whom she loved dearly.

Thinking of you during your time of sorrow.

"Life is eternal, and love is immortal
And death is only a boundary line,
And a boundary line is nothing,
just the limit of our sight."
Mt thoughts and condolences to you and your family. Love and Hugs

Our deepest condolences to you and your family Theresa.  Kristen stole many hearts in life and will shine upon those lives as she rests.  You're an amazing mother who raised an amazing young lady.  The young lady nobody could ever forget.  With much love, Susan and Alec

Kristen and I helped each other get through this rough time of having such a horrible disease. No matter what she had a smile on her face and reassured me that we'd be ok. I love her and I'm going to miss her.

No words can make you feel better. Only with time you will heal but never forget. With all the posts about her days with the ups and downs, the good and the bad. I felt as if I knew her all her life. My deepest and upmost sincere condolences to you and your family. Sending many bright blessing for you all. Peace, Love and Light.
