Kristen was stolen from those who loved her too soon. She was a bright light, a loving mother, and a caring friend. Her warmth and kindness touched everyone she met, and her loss leaves a deep void in the hearts of her family and friends. Kristen leaves behind her two greatest loves, her son Declan and daughter Tatum, who are left to grieve, process immense pain, and move forward as their mother would want.

The funds raised through this campaign will be used by Kristen’s family to support her children’s needs, including tuition, living expenses, meals, and other essentials. Additionally, the family may use some of the funds to help with funeral arrangements, ensuring Kristen is honored with the love and dignity she deserves. Your support will help ease the burden during this incredibly difficult time and provide stability for her children as they navigate the future.

If Kristen touched your life in some way, please donate to support her loved ones as they face the unimaginable. Sharing this fundraiser will help it reach more people, and sharing your stories of how Kristen impacted your life will bring comfort to her family. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Disclosure statement: I am a long-time (30+ years) friend of Kristen's and her family. I live in Goochland County, Virginia, but the fundraiser is based in Mechanicsville, Virginia as this is where the beneficiaries live. The two powers of attorney (Kristen's brother, Michael and mother, Cathy) will be the named beneficiaries for this GoFundMe, as they will manage the fund as the family and children need. As the organizer, I will take zero funds from managing this fundraiser.
