I am so heartbroken to hear about this. I worked with Kristen at Tharpe and she was a wonderful friend. Haven’t seen her in years but I really thought a lot of her. She was one of the smartest, kindest people I’ve ever known. My prayers and love go out to her children, grandchildren and parents.
I did not know her, but wish I did. What a great smile. I can see she was a fun person.
