OH… I wish I could be there tonight to join in the rememberance for Khristin. Khristin was a student of mine at Thoreau during her 7th and 8th grade years. She was my PE student of the year… a very special student, athlete and young woman. I remember her like it was yesterday. Sometimes its just that way with some of your kids.. you remember them exactly even after many many years. My sincere condolences to the Kyllo family.. Khristin was a bright star who passed through each of our lives at different times and touched us in some certain and special ways. She made an impact and that is a gift those of us who knew her share! God Bless you in this hard time and in the days ahead.
I wish there were words to comfort you. We are so sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts are with you.
Tom and Julie, I feel your heartbreak in my heart also. Hold your faith close. Aunt Cherie & family
Tom, Julie and Tommy, There are no words that can even come close to express how sorry we are for Khristin’s passing. She truly made an impact on so many lives and always will. We love you. Your Cousin Dale & April Hatcher & family.

Dear Kyllo Family, I see the pictures of a lovely young woman, but in my mind I recall the petite, bouncy little girl whose quiet leadership made an impact on those around her. She had such a zest for life – a life that is gone all too soon. I grieve for the three of you, and for all of us who feel the loss of someone so very special. You are in my thoughts.
Julie, No words can express my deepest sympathy for you and your family at this time. May the joy that she lived with, help sustain you in this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I learned of your great loss today. I am so terribly sorry for all of you. Please know your family will be in our prayers. May God carry you through this sorrowful time. ~ Marce & Bob Clements
Kyllo Family and Friends, You all are in my thoughts and prayers in this time of loss. It is so obvious that Khristin was an amazing person and touched the lives of many. I personally had the opportunity to play just one summer of softball with her and every moment of it was a joy. Even though we all wish she was here on earth with us still, I know she is up there tearing it up on the softball team in heaven, competing, and definitely winning! I miss that little girl so much and I consider myself blessed to have been her friend.
