Now you can be together forever with your loving parents, husband and family members. Take care, I look forward to seeing you and everyone again someday. Love, Spencer and Lily Owen
Krista has to be has to be one of the best examples of Gods people I have ever known. Compassion and understanding
We had talked many hours discussing and sharing many thoughts I want to thank her for that.
But now she does not have to suffer through her illness and can now be free of that which she deserves.
I am sure she will be missed by all of her family and friends and there are many others now she can now be reunited with who must have deep respect fans compassion for her. As I hope to meet. you again some day you are certainly one of the best.
Jared, Heather, and Tyler,

As I hope to meet with you again some day.
You are certainly one of the best examples of Gods people.
Our sympathies to the family. Krista was a neighbor and friend in Pacific Heights.. we have many good memories of her. Steve’ and Phyllis
Krista was such a kind and gentle soul, and we had many memorable conversations when she would stop by my office after Bible study or when prepping for her midweek kids. And the afternoon we spent in the kitchen baking cookies for the new child care center’s furniture is a fond memory for sure. I rejoice that she is gazing upon the face of Jesus and free from her worries and anxieties forever!
I knew Krista in high school and earlier. She was the sweetest person. I always felt so comfortable around her. I am celebrating who she was and the ways she gave to so many. I’m sending much love to her family and all who loved her, and I’m holding you all in my heart as you navigate the forever grief of living without her.
