I never had a chance to meet Kristine in person, but I knew her through YSC - and my heart breaks for all of you, for the loss of such a beautiful person, who had such a kind, thoughtful presence.......

Dear Scott,
It is with a sad and heavy heart that I write this condolence to you. Jill told me on Friday that Kristine was going into Hospice and I started praying for her right then. I'm so sorry for your loss, but I hope and pray that you believe that you WILL see your beautiful wife again - in a much better place with no sorrow or pain.

It's with my love, thoughts and prayers that I send this. I will pray God holds you (and all who loved Kristine) up in strength.

Love,
Jan Sandalow-MacDonald (Jill Berg's sister)

I am very very sorry to hear about Kristine's passing. We went to school together and were in the same sorority - and often saw each other out and about in Lincoln Park years ago. My mom is Mary's cousin and it was through her that I heard this morning. I am so sorry - I don't even know what to say - my deepest sympathy to all of you.
With love,
Andrea Daniels

You and your boys are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. May Kristine rest in peace and let perpetual light shine upon her.

A Better Place

She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

The world has lost a beautiful wife, mother and daughter. Our hearts ache for her and she will always be remembered. She fought a tough battle and never gave up. Rest now my angel as you had two very trying years. Until we meet again.

Love, Mommy

You were such a blessing to all who knew you. Your husband and boys were so fortunate to have had you as their own. Your brilliance and kindness lit up the world.
