Kristi,

Not sure where to start Kristi. You have always been a great support through work and family life. Plan on my phone calls as I am driving to a school and asking for advice. and a laugh.

You will be missed but I know you will find another adventure. I am blessed to have you as a friend.

Love and Happiness!

I so enjoyed working with you! It was fun to share stories about our college-age daughters and to know I wasn't alone! You always showed up with a positive attitude and (seemed) ready to conquer the day. ;-) We had many interesting moments working with children together. One of the most memorable times was when we had a child show up with, let's just say a dirty diaper.....oozing out of the back of their pants! All the best to you! :)
