I have known Kris and Sean since they were a couple in high school. She was Always positive and uplifting to people around, expecting nothing in return, and even more when those were in need of support. Kris will be missed by me and I will do my best to support her live long partner and friend. RIP Princess. I wish I worked harder to spend time with you both more when you were down here.
