Kristy was one of my closest friends in HS. We spent a lot of time together . She was my maid of honor when I married my first husband . Loved her dearly we lost touch over the years but through the wonderful social media FB I was able to reconnect with Kristy. It was so great to talk to her and get caught up on our lives . It was so great to see her a few weeks ago . I hugged her so tight and told her I loved her and was sorry I lost touch with her over the years :( I never thought that would be the last time I seen her . Kristy I love you and forever I will hold u close and smile with all the great memories we had from school

My prayers and sympathy to Kristy's closest family members. There are no words that can make this time easier. I remember the first time I saw Kristy; when she was a baby and her mama brought her to visit my parents. We were in the backyard and sat on the swing set. Seems like a century ago. Time and years fly by. We lose touch. I have missed staying close to extended family, but always keep you in my prayers. May God grant you the strength and peace you need at this time.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.. We will all miss Kristy's smiling face at the bank when we go in.. She had such a spirit about her .. I got to have several laughs with her at the bank and even when her and my friend Judy were having chemo. They were the type to make the best of every situation they were handed.. I know they are both healed now and are very happy and no more hurting.

McNees Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was fortunate to get to know Kristy thru her work in SH. I was always pleased when I was lucky enough to have her wait on me. She was accurate and efficient! But most of all I loved sharing our childrens' sports stories. We always compared notes as to what events we had that week and how well our teams were doing. Please know how VERY proud she was of each of you! I am sure you will feel her cheering from above. She will be greatly missed.

Although it has been may years since I have seen Kristy, I have many fond memories of her as a child.... Kristy was a girl with big, bright blue eyes... Her laughter so sweet it would fill up the sky. So many days of playing down at the beach... So full of adventure and dreams all within her reach. Than right before my eyes she was all grown... Beginning her life and starting a family of her own. She came into our lives and blessed us each one... She's been called back home, her work here is done. Such a beautiful woman who's been taken away to quick... Sometimes Gods work feels like a dirty trick. She will remain in our hearts so keep her memories close... They will help you through the times when you miss her the most. She's gone to dance with the Angels and be with the Lord... She'll be waiting to greet us when we knock on that door. Always remember her hugs or her kiss... I know that Kristy will truly be missed. My heart goes out to Family and friends. Always Remembered... Your Cousin Peggy
