Heaven is a better place with Kris and Earth lost a shining ball or energy. Kris was one of the first people I met back in 1994-95 at Jim Bottins on Merrill Drive. We taught group exercise together and joked that we were doing Aeroboxing before Billy Blanks came out with Tae Bo. A few years later, we both ended up together at the Little Rock Athletic club. Kris was an inspiration to me and could always cheer you up with her energy and positive attitude. She will be greatly missed.

Kris was my inspiration. I started exercising with her more than a decade ago, and I haven't gotten out of the habit. She made exercise fun with her wonderful sense of humor and encouraging spirit.
If yah wanna' vacation on the beach and read a book, don't ask Kris. If yah wanna' vacation like yah mean it, she's the "go to". Although she's gone, her toughness in the face of adversity will be an inspiration to all of us. We miss you, but because of you, the Force is with us.
Gratefully, Whit

Kris, was one of a kind. She gave so much of herself for other people. She was always there, pushing you forward.
She was a fighter and fought this cancer for years. As Larry says, she is now cancer free!
You will be missed my friend.

It was almost 40 years ago, this tall, redhaired, dynamo marched into my world, and became my new best friend. Introducing her to my old best friend was the beginning of a great love story that lasted over 30 more years. Kris may have left on another great adventure without us but she'll never be gone. Someone like Kris, with her spirit, her energy, her enthusiasm, her dedication, her love for life, will be in our hearts and memories, and stories ever after. What a blessing to have had her in our world. We will see you again. Love and prayers of peace for Mougeot, and all.

I met Mouge and Kris when they visited a ranch I was working on in Colorado. By the second day Kris walked up to me, smiled, and announced that she was my "self appointed Sidekick". It was a start of friendship with both Mouge and Kris. We had lots of excitement sorting cattle and riding the plains. And more laughs than a stack of comic books. Like you, I struggled with Kris and Mouge the last couple years. It showed me what courage really is. I will miss you Kris. Happy Trails

To know Kris was to
Know the embodiment of energy, intelligence, warmth and good humor. In our almost 40-year friendship, we worked together, played together and shared experiences that led to growth for each of us. Kris was a “daughter of my heart.” I’ll miss her every day and always be grateful for the time we shared. Loving blessings extend Moug, Jon, Eric, Jessica and all the nieces and nephews.

I so admired Kris’ bighearted spirit, her grit and humor. She was a role model of resilience, too, gamely finding adventurous workarounds and different projects to tackle when an injury or some technological glitch blocked her way. It was a honor to meet her.
My condolences to her family and the many friends who cherished her.

My heart breaks thinking of losing this ray of sunlight. She was a force of nature and wanted the best for everyone. What a great gal, and she and Mouge were a great team. I will miss her and was privileged to have know her. May her memory be eternal!

We loved Kris and her adventurous spirit. From hearing about her and Mouge ‘s dude ranch experiences to their South American adventures and back to adventure racing. She was also a great cook! There wasn’t much she couldn’t do. I will truly miss her! She’s the only one who ever called me ‘Arita Mae’ and it always made me smile! She may be gone but definitely not forgotten!!! I will cherish all the memories I have of our time together.
Love always, Arita

My heart goes out to all of you. Kris was one in a million and an incredible manager. She made such a difference in my career and my life. Such a beautiful heart taken way too young. Praying for all of you. Thank you for sharing Kris with all of us.
