So smart, so funny, so loving. I'll always remember Kris and the good times we had back in the Sixpentz fan club days, especially when she, Liz Bonno and I would be together. Only recently did we reconnect via Facebook. My sincere condolences to her brother Sam and all of her family.

Kris was dear to us, loved by us, and will be missed by us. I have the fondest memories of her going back to Houston, Bolivar, and Port Arthur; over 40 years of partying, laughing, and sharing good times. Boy did we have fun, and Kris lit the night with the brightest smile and the deepest laugh. I send my condolences to Rudy, Sam, Teddy, Eloise, Lisa and her entire extended family. God bless you, Kris, and thanks for the memories.

Even though I never actually met Kris, I felt like I knew her. I talked to her on the phone just about every day when she would call Lisa Valastro. She was always so funny on these calls, even when she wasn't feeling well. You will be missed Aunt Kris.
