On Friday, I found out that my college friend, Kristi, passed away. She was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer in October, just after giving birth to her 3rd son. Both she and her family have constantly been in my thoughts and prayers. Since Friday, I've been remembering the good-ole-Baylor days. Remembering the first time I met Kristi. Remembering some of our conversations. Remembering her smile and laugh. Remembering how real/genuine she was. Remembering her faith and love.
And this afternoon, I remembered some more. When reading my friend, Kimber-Leigh's blog today, I could just hear her reading those words aloud to me. Thank you, Kimber, for helping me reflect upon Kristi's life.

Kristi's memorial service was today and I know that her family truly celebrated her life. Please join me in continuing to pray for her family - her husband, her 3 sons, her parents.
