    Our boys grew up together. Kris always had a smile on her face. Loved talking K-state. When I would go to Heusner as Happy Bear, she was in the office. Thoughts and prayers to the family. Cherish all the memories.

    Kris was the kindest person I have ever known. Kris was an incredible mother, wife, sister, and friend to all. She had an uncanny way of making everyone feel comfortable, wanted and loved as if they were family. Kris always treated me like I was a cherished part of her life and I considered her to be my only mother in this life. I love you Kristine and truly cherish my relationship with you and your family. I love you Brad, Chad, and Abby and all of your families. My condolences.
