We will forever miss the giving and loving way she had toward all of us.
Rest In Peace and Love Our Dear Sweet Kristy...

Speaking about Kristy in the past tense just doesn't suit her because she has that much of a presence now as she did in life. It's the most beautiful thing to have known such a magnanimous person. So, transcribing that beauty doesn't come close to covering who she is, but I will try even if the words fall short.

No matter her relationship to you: Daughter, Sister, Sister-In-Law, Aunt, Partner, Friend, Colleague or Kitty Cat Savior. Because Kristy spoke to you soul to soul she always felt like so much more. An unspoken connection so deep, atypical of most, whether you passed her by in the grocery store or talked with her over percolated coffee for hours. I suppose that's why it's hard to fit who she is in another box after her life here. It seems not even close to describe her as gone anywhere. Kristy has taken an eternal place where loving life and every being soul to soul is timeless. Like she did here on Earth, she found her own way among us to be boundless, with the stars.

Kristy expressed her soul from the inside outward with a unique language all her own. Through creativity, intuition, civility, spirit, peacemaking, downright magic and love. She is the embodiment of light, illuminating everything and everyone with compassion, in a sometimes noisy world. She used her voice, wisdom, passion and presence to pierce right through it all. Her vivaciousness precious while impacting you in ways life often doesn't, with integrity, patience, understanding and peace. Kristy celebrated this life and as many, I am filled up with that same love and gratitude knowing I've spent time here with a soulmate. Her truth and one of a kind being felt uncalloused by life and inspired all of us. She lived with the windows of her soul wide open. Letting light in and thus radiantly beaming back out. A heart fully and vividly expressed.

Although I personally called her my Colorful Auntie, her essence felt most like the color yellow, as the sun, for the warmth and energy she brought to life. I now hear her voice singing, "Here comes the sun little darlin, and it's alright," and I cannot wait to meet her again, even though I feel like I don't have to arrive anywhere. It is ever clear that she is ever here.

We will all miss you always and forever...Christina Rose
