She loved watching The Office and the movie Joyful Noise. She also loved to sing, she was always singing. She loved her bright blue car so much, she named it Elsa. She is what you would call a “Cat Lady” and loved her Mogwai so much she was practically her child! Another thing with Kristy, when you saw her, she would always have a Sweet Tea cup from Speedway. She absolutely loved those. If you’re a Mexican food fan, she made the best enchiladas! She was also quite the jokester. She loved doing little pranks on people, just like her daddy!

Mom loves you with all her heart. I will miss you so much until the day they lay me right beside you my darling daughter. There are no words to tell you how I feel, but you know , dont you sweetheart?
I still can’t believe this is real! I’m living a true nightmare right now! My heart aches from losing Tony, Mom, & now you over a 3 month period! You’re really weighing heavy on my mind though. I see you face, your smile, I hear you talking and laughing and it makes me happy but oh so sad at the same time! I will love and miss you always my sweet niece! The PAIN is REAL! 🙁
Donna, There are no words to express our sorrow for your loss. Know we are all thinking of you and your family. Prayers.
Kristy, I miss you so much already. You were such a genuine soul and we had the most wonderful chats. We could and would talk about anything under the sun and knew that we would never be judged by the other. I understood you, and you understood me. I’d give anything to be able to talk with you, send memes back and forth, share music we found that we knew the other would love, and be petty/silly together again. 3am is going to be a lot more lonely now without you here to do that with.
I wish you were here with us, but I take a tiny, tiny bit of comfort in knowing that you’re with your baby boy Joshua, grandson Brayden, Mammaw, your grandma Ruth, my dad, and so many other loved ones.
I know you’re looking down on your babies (all 5), mom, and dads here on Earth. I know you’re wrapping them in your warm embrace and trying to bring them peace and comfort. You always did and you always will.
I’ll see you again one day and then we can go to that concert I promised you when you got better. Your choice!
Sleep well, darling.
Until we meet again.
I love you.
(I chose a cat to leave because that’s you in a nutshell. ߘذߖ¤)

Oh, Kris, I truly do not know how we are going to make it without you here, beautiful. You truly was such a wonderful person and soul. We got along so well and talked every so often, because we were a lot alike in so many ways. You really was one of the only people, plus all of your beautiful children, as well, that actually came and visited me when Bubba (Easton) was born. I truly never forgot that either, and will always hold that special in my heart. I loved you so very much for that, and it meant so much to me that you took the time to come see my baby boy and I in the hospital. Just know I FOR SURE would have came to visit you, as well, if only they would have allowed me to!! Again, I truly want to thank you for always looking out for Easton and myself over all these years. I truly did appreciate you more than you ever knew for so many different reasons!! There’s just something about us Capricorns, that’s exactly why you, me, and gorgeous Miss Amy Saxby always have been so much alike in so many ways!! Plus, us ladies got along so good, as well, we always have!! I love both you gorgeous women more than ever!! It just isn’t right, nor fair. Love you so much, baby girl, and going to miss you more than words could ever try to describe!!! ߘͰߒߒհߒְߘذߥаߘͰߒ˰ߘ
Wow!!! I can’t believe this is happening. ߘ¢ You will be missed by many, but fly high my friend until we meet again.
I will forever miss you. We have been friends since we were 5 years old. Rest in heaven my dear friend.
I love you mommy. I’ll miss you forever. I can’t wait to see your beautiful face again. Your grand-babies love you and miss you too. They will know all about you and what a wonderful, funny, cat-loving woman you are. They will know how much you wanted and love them. You are everything to me, mommy. I hope you have a wonderful times with the ones you’ve missed for so long and rest peacefully. Until we meet again. I love you with all my heart, mommy ߒœ
I wake to find the nightmare is real. It doesn’t seem to sink in that you are really gone from me. God, how can this be real?? I loved spending everyday and some of the nights with you my darling, I just never thought we would have to part. No Mother should ever have to give up her child. This is the cruelest, most heartbreaking thing any Mom can ever face. I will miss you forever. We didn’t always see eye to eye, most times we didn’t, but that did not change my love for you one little bit. I would climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest ocean, or jump into a raging fire for you. You know all these things anyway. There are no words to express how I am feeling. I keep hearing Mom, Mom, Mom from your beautiful mouth that day and all I could do was hold you. I couldn’t stop it, I couldn’t take it away. I am so sorry my darling. God knows I want to change places with you and would not hesitate. I love you with all my heart and with everything that I am. How do I live without you?
I’m going to miss your pretty and beautiful ߘ face my love. You were beautiful inside and out. I really can’t believe you are gone. Fly high beautiful and I love ߒ• you dearly rest peacefully my love ߘ
To the Family of Kristy Olsen. I send my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the entire family. As I am a coworker of Bobby Olsen whom I think is such a sweet soul. And although I never met Kristy, I am sure she was just as sweet. I am sooo sorry for your loss! ߒ” May God’s Love, Grace, & Mercy continue to abound and give you the assurance that she is at rest with Him. ߒ•
Fly with the Angels Beautiful Kristy, you will be missed by all, our hearts are broken into pieces, Rest in Peace my Dear
Kristy, I can’t believe you are gone. My heart is breaking for your family. I remember our first day together at Anthem, we just clicked. The fun we had together with Rick and Travis were some of the best times I have had. I will miss your FB posts and the banter we had. I am saying prayers for your family. Fly high and enjoy being with those that left you far to soon. RIP beautiful lady.

Another morning of waking up without you. I’m lost Kristy. If I could only turn back time. I am proud to be your mom baby girl. I want you to play in the sunshine, lay in Grandma Dorothy and Grandma Ruth’s arms, hold Joshua and Brayden close to you, visit with Samantha and all your loved ones in Heaven. I know that is where you are and where you deserve to be. We will be joining you someday and I cant wait to see your glorious face, free from the pain and worry of this cruel world. You are a Beautiful Angel now. Your family down here in this cold, cruel world will miss you until we meet again. My love for you is unending. Fly High my Beautiful Daughter. Mom will be joining you before you know it.

Kristy and family what a bright light you were Kristy In a world of darkness. You are loved.
My Beautiful Daughter, how can I say goodbye to you? This is so unreal. You and your Brother are my reasons for living. Half of me has been ripped away. I cant believe I wont hear your beautiful voice or see that most precious face smiling at me or giving me a hard time again. We lived a lifetime together Baby Girl. The next two days are going to be very hard but the days following those are going to be a never ending nightmare. I love you more than you can ever know. I know you loved me just as much. I was looking forward to having you stay with me and nursing you back to health. It is so unfair that we did not get to experience that together. I keep seeing your face in my mind, needing me to rescue you from this horrible invasion of your body and I could do nothing but talk to you and hold your hand and touch you so you could feel all the love I have inside me for you. It should be me Kristy, not you. My one wish in this world is to change places with you. You have children and new grandchildren and I have lived my life. I am ready. The day will come when we meet again and I cant wait to hold you in my arms and kiss your face. You mean the world to me Kris. I will never be the same again. No more tears in Heaven.
To My Baby girl.. I will miss that sweet smile everytime I seen you. Those chubby cheeks that I loved so much & seeing you grow into the beautiful woman you became. I will miss you so so much & never forget are always my Baby Girl LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY GIRL!! Love Daddy (Woman)

Beautiful picture Donna and thankfully you have wonderful memories with your mom and your daughter. ߘ˜
My dear Kristy, Words can’t explain the feelings of grief. I will do my best to keep your memory alive. I will miss our chats and your bubbly personality. Please give my parents a hug for me if you see them in heaven. I feel blessed to have been your friend for 29 years. ߒ”
Kristy I still can not believe this is real. You were my first ever roommate and when we were younger we sure thought we knew so many things lol I was blessed to call you a friend through our teenage years and it our 40’s. My heart and prayers go out to your parents, children, grand children and your brother and his family. Your family. Your friends. You coworkers. You will be missed. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there due to my stroke. We had recently reconnected and I will always love you Kris. You’re beautiful in this photo and oh my we sure did my hair up. LOL ߘ‚ Going to miss your smile and your positive contagious attitude. Oh yeah and your singing too! ❤️

Billy, I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this pain. I didn’t know Kristy, but if she’s anything like you, I’m sure we would have been friends. I understand the pain you are going through. Don’t keep your emotions bottled up. Just know that you can talk to me if you need to. I’ll just listen. I know it’s hard to now, but keep your Faith. Remember what the big picture is. Kristy is forever alive with Jesus and in no more pain. One day you will all be reunited. Cherish the memories, good and bad. That is what will see you through. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. Susan G.
You were such a great person, I’m going to miss our Facebook conversations. Rest peacefully beautiful angel.
