It is sad to see another member of my high school graduating class to lose their life at such at young age. Kristi was a good person. She was very smart and funny and was just fun to be around. She will truly be missed. May God be you Doug and the children at this time and may He bless them and keep them safe.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. Kristi was a very fun and loving person and thank you for sharing her with her "Croptoberfest Buddies" we will miss her and continue to pray for you and the precious gifts she has left behind. I am sure that she would make a scrapbook page of all the wonderful gifts that were given to her children during this time of sadness. I was blessed to have been able to meet her and get to see the story of your lives together on her scrapbook pages. She was a very talented lady and she made each page with love and care and now those will be the pages of your life that will keep her close by forever. Kristi, you are sadly missed. - Thelma

Dear Snapp family,
I was fortunate enough to know Krystal from the health department and so enjoyed her visits with her beautiful children. I remember her bringing in her scrap booking and wishing I could put together my family memories as she had. She was always smiling and full of energy even when she became sick. I am no longer at the Health Department but Krystal was often in my thoughts and prayers. I hope Ethan, Autumn and Grayson are doing well as well as all of her freinds and family. She was a wonderful inspiring woman and she touched many lives. I am glad I had the honor of knowing her. May God bless you and comfort you all during this time of loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Monica Hurd

Grief comes from the loss of something precious and beautiful. That was Krystal (as you know I always called her this). Doug I know you are heartbroken and I am sorry I could not be there today. I am praying and will always pray for you, Ethan, Autumn, Grayson and all of Krystal's family. God loves you and I pray with faith that the way will come.

Gosh, I am so sorry for Christi's family. And for the fact that I didn't know until yesterday about her passing. I never see a paper or watch the news. It was at another death, that I heard of Christi. I always loved her, what a joy she was. She and Tonya were Shelli (my daughter) good friends all through school. I lost Shelli on mother's day of 2008 and I know from experience what the whole family is going through. It is really tough; but I know that she most definetly is with Jesus, and united again with her good friend Shelli. Please accept my apologies for not knowing. And I will be in prayer for you all. Especially her children. Shelli left behind a 2 year old; and that within itself is a blessing and where my strength for pushing forward comes from. I know Tonya has been there for you. I love her. She and Christi spent a whole lot of time at my house; they felt like my own children. My God keep you close. Lean on Him. If there is anything I can do for any one in her family, please let me know.

Kristi was such an inspiration to all of us at 3 Scrappy Boys....it was an honor to get to know her and serve with her on the Design Team...she was uplifting and simply a joy. She loved and lived for her family, and her love and story was told beautifully in her layouts. May God's Peace surround you....prayers from Minnesota...

Although I never met Kristi in person, I admired her very much. I met her online at a scrapbooking site and was always inspired by her beautiful layouts. Later, I was inspired by her courage in her battle against cancer and her trust in God. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
