Kristen Barnes Richtsteig
In Loving Memory
Kristen has such a good heart. She once stayed at my house to care for my spoiled dogs while we went overseas on pilgrimage. When we came home, my most precious Stella Corgi went over to Kris and sat on her foot and leaned up close to her leg---Stella clearly loved Kris and was claiming her, not wanting her to leave. At that moment, my heart swelled with pure love for Kris, she took such good care of them, I was so happy they were treated well. She probably cared for them better than I. Kris has the BEST heart ever, as evidenced by the love my corgis displayed toward her--dogs hearts are always truthful. Kristen has a pure loving heart and I am grateful to have known her.
Dear Father Erik and family, My sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved mother to eternal life. May she rest in peace. My prayers for Our Lady of Mount Carmel to console and comfort you in these difficult days ahead. With Love, Connie Gallegos OCDS
I have heard stories from her son, a dear friend of mine, as to what a loving and wonderful mother she was for him. She rose to the challenge of raising a child alone and kept the memory of his late father alive for him. It should also be noted that in addition to the love she had for her family, she also loved her pets and treated animals with kindness and care.
May the saints come to the gates of Paradise to greet her.
