I am in total shock and have such a heavy heart with this news. I always PM’d her when I read a prayer request. She was always so kind and loving. She had so much pain.. especially at night. Yet... her demeanor was always so pleasant and sweet. I would write that I am praying for her and you know what? She would pray for me as well. Damn.... The only good part of this news is I know she is no longer in pain. Heaven scored a doll. Dearest Kristin: Sleep well with the angels, Love. You will be missed and thought of by your FReeper family. (((Hugs))) Mom
A couple months ago, Kristin and I were chatting on Facebook and she always wanted to know what was going on in my world, it didn’t matter how mundane. I told her at the time that my mom was scheduled for back surgery on the 12th of July and she was going to undergo pre-op tests. She wanted to know the exact day and time of the surgery and I said I would let her know as soon as I knew. Couple days later I let Kristin know when mom’s surgery was and Kristin wrote it down in her day planner calendar and she said she would be praying non-stop for mom on that day. Day of the surgery arrives and I tell Kristin that mom is in surgery. Kristin prayed non-stop for 3 hours just for my mother. She always had the kindness for strangers.
She prayed for me, even if I was just going to the grocery store.
I’ve known Kristin since 2004 and for much of that time, I knew what she was struggling with and she always relied on me for prayer. As time went on, I found out she mentioned two others who prayed for her. I’m overwhelmed after her passing to find out that she literally enlisted an Army of Prayer Warriors to pray for her!
I spent countless hours on the phone and on Facebook with her, always with the feeling that I wasn’t doing enough or that I wasn’t pulling my weight.
