My thoughts and prayers are with Kristen’s family and with Liv, who was a friend of my daughter. Kristin would light up the room and was full of love for her family. She will be missed.

Kristen had a way of making everyone around her smile. I laughed with her every time she arrived for her massage therapy session, which was only downstairs from her space. She wore her fluffy robe and a giant smile. We laughed every time she arrived. She always told me, "Well, why not?" She has been missed during the past year and it was always nice to be able to get updates from her loving family. I will miss her terribly.

So sad to hear this news and although we only met for a short time as friends and work colleagues of Tim it was clear that how loved you were. I had planned to show you the best sights of England when you would have visited but we can have that discussion when we meet again. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Rest in Peace
Trevor and Nikki

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be more than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in our heart.
Prayers and love,
The Clark family

Oh Kristen, why did you have to leave this earth so soon? Your legacy will carry on forever and ever. Your spirit, your beauty, your kind heart and love for animals and the earth will forever be an inspiration and guide for all of us left behind. We love you, your family and Olivia so much! You are in our hearts and souls forever. Thank you so much for enriching our lives and for giving us the best childhood memories any kid could ever ask for...Xanadu, Grease, Rock Throwing (lol), Flash Gordon approaching, Upset the Fruit Basket game in your basement, Flashlight Tag, Rainbows, Muddy Run picnics, Soccer, and the list just goes on and on. We are planting a Little Gem Magnolia in your honor in FL and creating a memorial garden in NC for all the butterflies and bees to come visit all the beautiful flowers that represent your beauty and spirit every day. You will never ever be forgotten. We will see you on the other side someday. Look out for your brother, mom, dad, Tim and Olivia and be their spirit guide until we all meet again. Love you so much! Life won’t be the same without you!

I have been trying to find a way to share my memories, feelings and sadness at the loss of Kristen, its so hard to put it into words. She was and will remain always one of my people.
She gave me an opportunity with a job @ MetLife just by random chance & that then grew into something so much more. Our team become “Team Awesome” with a synergy created around her that was not just about work but a family of friends with a closeness and love that cant be captured in words. The awesome dynamic that she fostered is a one of kind & a once in a life time thing that I know each of us will carry in our hearts and minds as a gift she gave us.
I have so many memories with her, from guidance and cander about work or personal life; where she forever had witty things to say and insight that left you feeling like anything was possible, her understanding that you weren’t perfect despite trying but you were still amazing to her, our NYC trip where she took me to my first Broadway show and we went around the city until 2am even though it was a “work” trip she made it a “girls” trip, her fondness of fresh flowers to which over the years she and I exchanged a dozen bouquets just for the shear joy of it, swapping stories about goats & poison ivy, our dinners that lasted for hours when she was in town, and she how never missed a beat in life as she always showed up with a smile and ready to tackle anything! As a person she checked all the boxes of what I want to be when I grow up; her tenacity shown through most of all to me.
Kirsten always shared stories about her family, friends and Olivia. I did not have my daughter until more recently but we had talked about children and she shared with me how much she wanted to me a mom. She did that with such grace and devotion as there is no doubt Olivia is her pride and joy. She was always talking about taking Olivia on a trip or to do some activity that sounded so fun to me! She had a love for Olivia that I now understand even more. We often talked about how it was passing so quickly. She would often text photo’s of Oliva so I could see how her little girl was growing up. Kristen shared with me lots of stories about her family, Tim and his daughter. The people that brought her the most joy in life. It was always so nice to hear that she was so loved and supported.
When Kristen called me earlier this year to tell me that her cancer had returned, I think we both immediately burst into tears. I could only manage to say I was so sorry & I love you, which didn’t seem like nearly enough. She remained so optimistic and focused on healing her body in a way she said she previously hadn’t done. She had an outlook that I don’t think many people in her position would have. I was left in awe of my friend being so strong after fighting this for so long.
Finding out that Kristen passed away leaves me heartbroken for everyone that is feeling the absence of her smile and laughter. I looked at my last text from her saying “Back to back beach days makes a happy girl. I love you too!” Im so thankful for her. Kristen was the best in all ways possible. She always wanted to take care of me and make sure I knew she loved me. I am lucky to have known her & deeply saddened she is gone.
To Olivia, Her Parents, Tim, and extended family; Thank you for sharing Kristen with me and taking care of her. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that you can find comfort in time ahead as she left a remarkable imprint on this world. I loved her dearly and will miss her so very much.
With love & deepest sympathy,
Meighen Lowe & Family

Dear Olivia, Tim and the Smith Family,
I have started to write this multiple times and each time I struggled with finding the right words to express what Kristen meant to me.
I worked with Kristen at MetLife - and similarly to others who have spoken of her we quickly became fast friends. We didn’t see each other everyday but we certainly spoke quite often.
Kristen lit up a room with her infectious smile. I was always amazed as she went through her own struggles how she always was so concerned about those she was closest to.
Olivia, you were her world. And although we never met and we tried to set up a weekend to do it it never worked out and I will forever be sorry for that. Know how much she loves you and how very proud she was and will always be of you.
Tim, whenever Kristen spoke of you she would glow and how excited she was to have found you!
Kristen has had a profound impact on my life and I will cherish all of my memories of her.
My sincerest condolences to all of you through this difficult time. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love
Ann Stevens

Olivia, Tim, Henry, Janice, Matthew, Evan and family,
My condolences and sympathies to you on Kristen’s passing.
I was blessed, privileged and am humbled to have had Kristen in my life as a colleague and a friend. From the first time I met her (through a video based interview), I could tell her personality was infectious. She was positive, energetic and passionate about her job (including always putting the candidate experience at the forefront). We would often talk about how great our team was and why it was so successful. Kristen would immediately respond with, “Because we are accountable to each other.” The first time I heard her say it, I was quite honestly caught off guard because she was 100% right and I didn’t recognize the brilliance and accuracy of such a statement. From that moment on, I knew she was invested into our collective success and it forged our everlasting friendship.
Most important to Kristen, was each of you, her family. There wasn’t a day (or evening commute phone call) that went by where she wouldn’t speak about Olivia (whether it be school, Disney or how quickly she was growing up), how great Tim was and how much fun (goats eating poison ivy included) and love they were putting into their Duxbury home, and how she loved being not too far from and spending time with her parents and family.
She also loved her friends, work family and their families. Kristen was the common denominator; she brought many of us together, forever. It meant so much that she would (without prompt) ask how my family and I were doing (including always “sending love to Jennifer and the kids” texts). With Kristen everyone was family and she made time for all of us, somehow, someway. That’s who Kristen was: selfless, loving and fully invested!
I love you my friend - rest easy
Love,
Mike, Jennifer and the kids

My condolences to Kristen's family in their time of this loss. I worked with Kristen for about the last two years at Manulife and we built an instant rapport bother personally and professionally. She was always supportive in both work and family life. I also had the privilege of meeting her daughter Olivia last year at Manulife, I know she will carry on her mother's tradition of warmth and caring. Rest in Peace, you will be missed ...

My deepest sympathy goes out to my brother, Olivia, Kristen's parents, brother and her nephew. Kristen had a big heart and was very kind and thoughtful. I'm going to miss our annual "Talk like a Pirate Day" messages. I never knew existed until Kristen would send messages on that day. We are very fortunate to have had her in our life. We will always cherish the memories we had with her. She will be deeply missed.

I will always cherish my friendship with Kristen. We started out as work colleagues and quickly became personal friends. When she traveled to NC for work we would always set aside an evening to have dinner and catch up - and I loved hearing about Olivia and Tim and their plans for travel and new homes. I am deeply saddened that this wonderful woman left us too early, and I keep her family and loved ones in my prayers for comfort and peace in memories of her passion for life and how she lived as a role model for all.

The first time I meet Kristin was at the Bridgeway in Hummarock. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen my dad so nervous.....from the first time I meet her it was so clear to see how much she meant to my dad and how much he meant to her. And we both loved champagne, so really I’m not sure why he was so nervous.
The night before I graduated college I went to dinner with Kristin, my dad, my mom, my brother & his girlfriend. Never would I ever have imaged all of us at a dinner table together, and yet it was all I would have ever asked for (if I had actually had the courage to ask)....but I didn’t have to. The thing I will forever love most about Kristin was her ability to think about everyone but herself. To have everyone together in that moment meant more to me then I was ever able to tell her. During Mother’s Day weekend no less!!
As heartbroken as I am, I know Kristin would have wanted us to celebrate her life. I hope people continue to fill this page with amazing memories of Kristin, so that her family can focus on the happy memories.

My deepest condolences to my brother Tim, Kristen’s parents, daughter Olivia and brother and nephew. Your loss is greatly felt here in Syracuse NY. I share this picture of my water bottle with a Miami Fruit sticker on my Yoga mat. My last text conversation with Kristen was thanking her for the thoughtful gift from Miami Fruit. She sent this because my father had passed in June. So a picture speaks a thousand words. I dedicated my Yoga practice to her Monday night. I carry this water bottle every where I go and had put the sticker on it when received because I liked it. Now this simple sticker that came from a huge gesture has more meaning then I ever thought. Namaste Kristen may you Rest In Peace
