Hi I knew Krista in college and have many memories of her. She was very smart, had a great laugh, and definitely marched to the beat of her own drum! I can't remember where she worked at the time, but once I met her there and when I arrived I found Krista laughing and smiling and conversing with an elderly woman - in sign language!! It was no big deal to her, but the woman was thrilled. I was impressed that Krista knew how to sign and she was so humble about it, she never mentioned it. My condolences to all her family and friends. -Michelle Vondenkamp

Krista was a great lady with a smile to match, much loved by all of us at the Royal Fork. She lit up the room as soon as she entered. She was a saint when most of us were not so saintly. RIP my Freind.
