Hans,
Thanks so much for sharing Kris' birthday with us. I like what you said about celebrating her birthday rather than the day of her death. You are so right-I never knew anyone more full of life than Kris!! We all loved her so much and truly do miss her sense of humor and smile. It's funny how our minds can cause all of the "bad" things to fade from our memory and we do remember all of the good things. In my dreams and memories Tom is always strong and healthy....and smiling. He had a great smile and laugh too. I hope you continue to keep in touch and I wish the very best for you. Thank-you for lighting a candle for everyone here. We are lucky to have had so many good friends here over the years! Take care. Love, Mary

I do miss our Kris! I like to believe I touch her soul each time I wade in the ocean or see her beloved daffodils.

I think of you both often and hope that you are doing well Hans!.....(the only person on the planet I know as monkeybutt!)

Hugs and prayers for you always....

What a lovely post. We all miss her here, too. I never met her in person, but feel like I knew her well. She is greatly missed by so many. Thinking of her and of you too Hans and hope you are doing OK.

Love & Hugs,

Hi Hans,

Thank you so much for lighting a candle for all of us. That means so much to us all. And yes, newcomers to the site will read Kris's posts for sure. You mention Kris's stranger entries.... her posts and expertise regarding all things poo related are much treasured to this day and always will be! What great humour and a lovely smile our Kris had!

Happy Birthday Kris! We miss and love you loads.

Hugs,

Gavin

Happy Birthday, Dearest Kris. Hans, thanks for remembering us with the candles and I can say for certain that yes, our new members do see Kris's posts and us old timers always refer to her as our Sweet Kris. We love you too, Hans and it is so good to see you posting today!

Today would have been Kris' 38th birthday. Where else to celebrate it than on this site?!

Although the aniversary of her death (Jan 4th, almost two years now) is also special, her birthday is more important to me - she was always much more focused on life than on death, and as time goes by, all the fear, pain and suffering fades in my memory, and her spritelieness and giggly laughter stand out more and more. I seldom think of her without a smile!

I thought that rather than write a new post I'd bump this one, since it has the link with the picture. Yes, I remember the twinkle just like it is in the picture...

She always lit two candles in her "prayer chimney", one for herself and one for someone else - usually someone on this page. Tonight there are two candles burning there again, and again one of them is for you folks - all of you. I wonder how many of her cancer buddies are still around, and if newcomers to the site sometimes wonder about her stranger entries...?

Bless you
/Hans

Hans,
I hope my Tom has or will run into Kris. I always told him about her. How much we all loved her. We miss her laughter too! It came through all of her posts. Take care and keep in touch. I understand what you are feeling. Life will never be the same but all of us must keep going one day at a time.
Love, Mary

Dear Hans,
I did not know Kris for she had passed before my daughter was diagnosed with CC. I know she and Lauren would have gotten along famously. I have gone back through a lot of Kris's posts and she always seemed to find humor even in her darkest moments. What an honor it must have been to have her as your wife. I am sorry for your loss, but I'm sure you are full of lovely memories of such a beautiful person. She was also lucky to have such a supportive, loving husband. Take care and God bless you.

Hans......Our sweet, sweet, Kris, how she is missed on this site. For me the color purple always represents our Kris especially since she had contemplated coloring her hair "purple."
Hugs

Hans,

Kris really brought so much humor to this board and I really miss that, I mean, there are other funny people on here but she really was the leader of the band and we were privileged to be privy to her very unique brand of humor, the kind that has you bursting out laughing at your computer and people are asking you what is so funny? She was a comedienne extraordinaire.
