I remember Kissie's infectious smile! And her laugh will stay with me always! I hadn't seen her in many years, but I recall the sleep overs at her house during elementary and Jr. HS. Her love for Motley Crue and all things Tommy Lee! She was always a caring friend! The smile in the photograph on this page - exudes the warmth and love that is Kissie! To Kissie's Family: Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we all feel for your loss. May your memories give you strength. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. Thais (Davis) Walsh

To the entire Gilbrook family, There are no words to express how truly sorry I am for your loss. It is just so tragic, especially being so young. Keep the memories of Kissy close to your heart and just remember how much she loved all of you. Grieve but go on as I am sure she would want you to.

Kristy was an good teacher. She was a pleasant and funny person to be around. I enjoyed her companionship as teacher and student. Even though I was one of her older students she would say to me, "You can keep up with the young ones too."

I remember the days at Paula's Basic Fitness in Rockland, MA, when Kissie would be teaching the class - she would shout encouragement to me all the time "C'mon Ellen, you can do it" - then I'd say something back to Kissie, kidding her about something, & we'd both laugh our way through the class - I loved her laugh, her smile - everything about her - she was such an inspiration to me - I'm completely at a loss to find the words to say how much Kissie meant to me - I'll never forget that first time going into Paula's Basic Fitness at the recommendation of a dear friend - when I first met Paula with her openess & beautiful smile, I knew then I had a friend - that first time being a member at Paula's when Paula first weighed & measured me, she said something that has stuck with me all these years - after being completely shocked by my own weight & measurements, Paula looked me straight in the eyes & said "Ellen, you'll never see those numbers again" & she was right! I lost so much weight at Paula's because I was among friends & family who cared about me - I cared about them too especially my littlest friend, Kissie - be at peace dearest & sweetest child - be at peace - all our love, Paul & Ellen Dolan

Kristie is the love of my life. I will forever hold her in my heart. Every day I came home to her for almost 4 years she would meet me at the door with the biggest smile you could possibly imagine. She would kiss me, hug me and say hi baby. I could not have been loved more and I have never loved anyone as much as I did her. I love you Kristie (Jerk) Love Jim your (Punk) You will forever have all my love unconditionally

I'm so sorry for your loss! I worked with Sue at AAA and had the pleasure to have met Kissie once. I thought she was very open and honest and had a great sense of humor!

She will always be in your hearts!

I first met Kissie when I worked at Paula's Basic Fitness In many ways she was a lot like you Paula always there for the members giving them the confidence and support to keep on going...my heart and prayers go out to you! Kissie was such a wonderful person and beloved by so many. To her own children and boyfriend you definitely have a guardian angel to watch over you. I hope that this can bring you peace eventually I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you all!!!

To Kristie's precious parents and family, we extend our most heartfelt condolences. Though I hadn't known Kristie long, we bonded through our love for our children and families. In one of our first conversations I expressed that she must be a wonderful person to have raised such a kind, caring and respectful daughter, Adiza. Her response endeared her to me immediately when she gave credit to Paula and noted how much she loved and appreciated you and her dad for your love and support. To Adiza and Max, words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Please remember that you are loved and were blessed with a mother whose love is eternal. The Watson Family, John, Eva and Jason

It is with great sadness I write you this note, for I once knew Kissy a long time ago, We’d hang out at school with her best friend Dawn Baily, back in the 80’s I would see her almost daily I remember her style, leather jacket, jean vest, her Metallica patch is what I liked best Such a fun person, so sweet and so friendly, everyone in town liked her, she had not an enemy With an infectious smile and a penchant to laugh she made our youth fun every day before class She gave much to many, such care and compassion, I just can’t believe that she is gone in this fashion In light of this loss there is a lesson to learn, for sweet caring people there is Heaven to earn And so going forward, for her spirit I will pray, and I wish for her family to find peace and much strength
