She's the daughter of my Dad's sister Ann
and was raised an only child.
and was raised an only child.
She married and had 4 daughters.
Kris and her husband are very faithful Catholics
and have raised all their children in that faith.
I wanted to share here what Kris's oldest granddaughter Taylor posted on FB recently:
"I’m the oldest of 20 cousins.
Madison is devoting her life to nursing and caring for those in need.
Jakob has always had the best grades and challenges others to be better.
Emily recognizes the small things in others and is always there to listen.
Kaden is the gentle and very athletic giant and is favored by every baby, kid and adult he meets.
Zac is always there to give you a laugh and cheer you up on a bad day.
Lauryn studies hard and pays attention to the things that makes others happy.
Jaycie is thoughtful and wise beyond her years. Doesn’t give into what others think or say.
Chase has the kindest heart and recognizes the need for help before it’s asked.
Reagan goes out of her way to include all her little cousins in whatever the big kids are doing.
Dane is going to be a great leader someday, it comes naturally
Cole is competitive and this is what will drive him toward success.
Reese is as sweet as her name
Blake may not always be my biggest fan but he’d sure go out of his way to make his mom happy.
Grant is hopefully my ticket to Heaven when he becomes a priest someday and he’s a major goof.
Brooklyn has one of the most active imaginations and tells you the truth when you need to hear it.
Camden is shy, yet shows affection to those who really get to know him.
Blair has the most beautiful innocence about her and reminds me of my grandma everyday.
Kate is sweet and sour depending on the day.
Jack is the littlest one of the bunch and I can’t wait to see him form into his own person.
As you can see, each different in their own way, each a blessing to our family and each able to figure out God’s plan for them because their parents chose life. The recent decisions made to not recognize life of the unborn is absolutely heartbreaking. In the midst of what feels like the loss of a huge battle, I am thankful for my family and not only their pro life beliefs but for being (extremely) open to life and for raising all those humans with the same beliefs.
I am pro life and always will be."
And THIS, what Kris shared on her FB page sums it up SO well...

Kristine has always been beautiful inside and out! As a child, when we visited their family in Visalia she was always welcoming and friendly, even though she was outnumbered 8 to 1!
Oh how I love this post! I'm thinking our grandmother most have been a remarkable person to have such a posterity
What a beautiful post!!
