She was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every single moment with them. She had a vivacious personality and without question would light up every single room she walked into. She always made people laugh and never took herself to serious and was the life of the party all the time. She was one of the best friends a person could ever ask for and was extremely generous with her time and always there for people in need and completely unselfish. She lived life to its fullest never taking a single day for granted. She was constantly positive even in the face of what seemed like insurmountable odds she would crack a smile and tell everyone it was going to be ok and “this too shall pass”. She had a zest for life and attacked even the smallest tasks with passion and commitment and always with attention to the smallest detail. She loved to bring people together and did everything she could to make the world a better place. Most of all she was FUN. She has instilled all these amazing qualities in her children. Kristan was a beloved member of the Lakeville community. She cherished her friendships with all of the amazing families she was able to get to know in this community and was proud to be raising her children in Lakeville and knowing all of the families she has touched will have a hand in helping to shape the lives of her children gave her enormous comfort.
