We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Kristin, her sense of humor, her sense of adventure, and her unfiltered approach to life. This fund was created as a way for the many, many people she befriended, swapped inappropriate stories with, laughed with, or cried with, to be able to contribute support if they wish. The fund will be used to help with the costs to assist her 16-year-old daughter in navigating to her new normal successfully and for funeral expenses.
