She welcomed my Texas accent and made me feel at home in a new city, and though our paths only crossed for a brief time I have never forgotten. Often I have wondered what she was up to and sadly today, through a rekindled friendship, learned of the events that took place last year. In my search for information I was led to this site and more particularly your post. The words are powerful and touching. The anger I feel is great, however it melts away when I focus on the memories and joy that she has brought to me. One memory that comes to mind was when she had undergone some major dental work; I believe her wisdom teeth were removed. After the procedure I came over to keep her company, and as a get well gift, brought her a sack of the largest jaw breakers made. Despite her sore gums and jaw she still found enough energy to share that contagious laugh (snorts included). <BR/><BR/>Kristy is and will always be a beautiful woman both inside and out. The world has been blessed by her time here; and the ripple effects of those she has touched will continue to bless it for generations. Thank you for sharing your Kristy.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Larry CreightonLarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795795453512805383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978797689466044921.post-83617352238207157662009-03-02T12:21:00.000-07:002009-03-02T12:21:00.000-07:00Ann, I am very sorry that this tragedy has come t...Ann, <BR/> I am very sorry that this tragedy has come to your lives. I was in Ed and Clea's ward (and Verlee, Carrie, Lori, Jessica and Amber, Shayne/Penny) in Bell'ham. You came once to our ward and spoke beautifully to us. It was a fast Sunday I believe and you stood in our RS meeting and spoke words that were powerful and sweet. <BR/> I never met your daughter, but reading about her and having met you-- I feel like I know her, for the people I know who love her as well. <BR/> I pray that you will be given the strength you need and the comfort during the many long times ahead of you all. You'vebeen in my prayers, and thought being reminded once more of another stranger praying for you with faith would be a comfort. <BR/> God bless you and her little boys, too and all who love her.Rummfor5https://www.blogger.com/profile/11475769150845223228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978797689466044921.post-43430931868832477452009-01-31T22:38:00.000-07:002009-01-31T22:38:00.000-07:00Hi Sweet Ann ~ I love you.

The words of Section 121 are evident in your actions - <BR/> 7 My son, may peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;<BR/> 8 And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes<BR/> 9 Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands.<BR/><BR/>May our Heavenly Father continue to bless your lives through your "small moment" until that glorious day when you all rejoin Kristy in that mansion that is certainly prepared for the Palizzi family.<BR/><BR/>We are better people by watching your Christ-like behavior. May the Lord continue to bless your family. We love you all. <BR/><BR/>Bill and Dorothy M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978797689466044921.post-17234570131152860172009-01-27T22:05:00.000-07:002009-01-27T22:05:00.000-07:00Ann,Thank you for your post.

This evening on my way ...Ann,<BR/><BR/>Well said, thank you. <BR/><BR/>This evening on my way home from work I was sitting in the back seat of the SUV looking out the window watching the snow fall. It was wet and cold outside. For me it provided the right mindset for thoughts about Kristy on this the one year mark of her death. <BR/><BR/>Going forward thoughts of Kristy will be like a warm autumn day, but today I want to remember how I felt when I learned what David had done to her. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your example, your example of faith, your courage, the perseverance you have shown, loving service to your grandsons, and most importantly for your example of forgiveness. I can only imagine what it must be like to try and forgive David for what he did, but I feel as if you have.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your friendship, thank you for allowing me to spend time with the boys. When I have seen the boys or spoken to the boys it has made me feel more alive than at most all other times the past 12 months. Those emotions within my heart that they stir are very powerful. Thank you for reminding me of the blessings I have.<BR/><BR/>In closing, thank you for being you! You raised a wonderful woman; I know that family life goes a long way to shape ones personality. I believe that it was because of your influence over her that she was who she is. <BR/><BR/>In life I learned a little bit about her and in death she taught me a lot about myself.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164258450068967196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6978797689466044921.post-24420774217965403542009-01-06T15:58:00.000-07:002009-01-06T15:58:00.000-07:00Oh Ann how is it that you always seem to have the ...Oh Ann how is it that you always seem to have the right thing to share?

I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday and I'm glad that you were all together! You are such an inspiration with all that you've been through and how you've carried on through it all!

(even though we miss you here!!) It's so good to know you're doing so well...and moving forward. You've always been so much stronger than me, that's for sure. Give those cute little boys a big hug and kiss from me. I'm so glad all of our prayers were answered, and that they're able to be with you guys permanently. You're the best, Ann. Your family... and Brandon and Carter, are so lucky to have you. I'm lucky to have you as a friend. Thank you for inspiring me today and giving me some ideas for things I really need to do. :o) Love you.carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557137103840979421noreply@blogger.com
