My darling friend Kristine,
There are really no words. It’s hard to know you are no longer here.
You were such a fighter. A true warrior on earth…it’s time to rest in paradise my friend.
I’m keeping all the fun times especially high school near and dear to my heart….
Love, Sherene

Kristine aka Martha,
I still remember the first day I met you back in 2009, and after that our friendship was unstoppable, you welcomed me into your home and heart, and we became family. We had many laughs, some tears, lots of liming, two for one movies, sugar cane eating, watching nonsense on the tv, palabring on one another’s couches, going to church, packing on food for the poor, cutting one another hair, setting up online dating profile ( lol that was a laugh), being at each other’s hospital beds, teaching me how to use a knife( yes I did shed some blood on your kitchen counter), and most importantly those couple days in Miam when I came to visit you, not knowing that would be the last time I’d get to hug you and palabre in person.. To say I miss you doesn’t give this void inside Justice … But you fought harder than anyone I know and you suffered long. Love you my friend !

My dear Kristine, there is no more pain, no more sorrow. You are in the father’s hands resting comfortably knowing you are loved. Now you get to experience teal life, the kind we were all created to have. Your time here was meant to touch all of us who met you and were forever changed by your grace, courage and infinite smile even in the darkest hours. Enjoy eternity now and receive your reward for all the work done in this place we call earth. You will be forever remembered and loved. Can wait to see you again!

A true warrior you were!!
You did not give up, despite your sickness you were always optimistic. You put up a good fight, but God was ready for you. Our hearts ache at the passing of such an exceptional beautiful soul.
Rest well dear Keisha.

Dearest Kristine,
THANK YOU for teaching me what true friendship is and how to receive kindness. Your friendship – though short – was one of the greatest and most powerful I’ve ever known. You kept my mother and me afloat when you had your battles. You always found the strength to give to others. You were constantly preparing care packages for cancer patients who were doing chemotherapy by themself as a side effect of the pandemic. I’m going to miss your straight-no-chaser-tell-it-like-it-is advice, new food trends alerts (i.e., bun and cheese ice cream), life hacks, WhatsApp jokes, and mostly your encouragement to keep going by the way you lived your life. I hope you feel all the kindness and love you shared with others, and I hope you soar to bigger and better things, higher and higher heights. I hope you find peace in God’s arms, and I hope you know our tears are a testament to how much you meant to us. Until next lifetime sis…
Beam!

Rest well dear Kristine.

Keish! My Capricon twin cousin! I cannot believe you are really gone. You are a true warrior and I just wanted to let you know that YOU won the battle. Thank you for always being a listening ear even when you needed it more than I did. I love you dearly and I’m sorry we didn’t get to go skydiving.

My Dear daughter-friend Kristine,

I have mixed emotions about your transition. Most of the time I am in denial, I can’t believe that you are not here physically. Other times I am immersed in grief. You were always giving me gifts. Everywhere in my home there are gifts to remind me of you. During your time of pain you made gifts for other cancer patients . Kristine you are my inspiration. The day I was diagnosed with a shocking health challenge I thought about you & how brave and courageous you are. You are my inspiration. Kristine I will NEVER forget your kindness, thoughtfulness, your courage & your inspiration. Thank you for being in my life. Much love my friend.

May God take the soul and spirit of dear Kristine into the sweetest corner of Your mind, the most tender place in Your heart, that she, and those of us left behind might be comforted. May God’s peace comfort your mother, uncle, aunts & rest of your family.

Dearest Kris (cuz),
You fought long and with courage! Your courage will always be an inspiration for me. You had a sense of humor despite the pain and frustration. I will always remember your kind heart and generous spirit. You provided for me and my family Your desire and tireless work to provide care packages for others was exemplary! You are truly missed and loved. Rest in peace cuz!

To our darling Kris, who fought until her last breath to stay on this earth. We are so heartbroken that someone so young has to leave us. The memories and pictures are still there to remind us of the good times. May you rest in peace darling, with our love and deepest condolences, the Bahado Family in the U.K.

Kristine, you were, always, a bright and warm ray of sunshine…down-to-earth, very jovial, always, smiling, very helpful, very loyal, and very consciencious.

Both your inner and your outer beauty shone through, brightly, wherever you were…You were bright, articulate, honest, loyal, compassionate, and had a great personality, to boot.

We remember, at various family dinners, over the years, when, you, would, always, on your own accord, help greatly, in various ways…whether it was to help to share the food into serving trays, putting those servings of food on the dining table, asking if anyone needed a drink, taking the dessert tray around, etc., you, always, were a great help, whom, we could, always, count on.

Now that your earthly journey has ended, and you are, now, on a new, different and Heavenly path, you have left behind a long line of loved ones and friends, who, will miss you immensely.

Your wonderful, caring, loyal and loving mom, Valerie, was, always, by your side and, particularly so, over the past decade…She was a pillar of strength, in your life and, as, thankfully, you knew, lived her for, and appreciated.

Our pleasing, positive and pleasant memories of you will live on and we will miss your presence in our lives, greatly…Walk good, Krissy!

Dear Kris:

I still can’t believe you are gone….I am grateful we got to speak and reflect. I have never forgotten your kind words, faith in me, encouragement, and all our adventures together, your positive outlook and drive. A blessed friend indeed that I could not help to talk about from time to time in sharing some stories and the flowers that still show their bloom in life. You will not be forgotten my friend. May your soul rest in piece with The Lord God Almighty and the Holy Spirit Comfort all family and friends

Kristine my darling friend with a huge heart and a great sense of humour, always helping others and always welcoming myself and Penny into Your home. No more pain but fond memories will remain forever. We love you so much and will miss you so much. Till we meet again we shall honour and cherish your memory.

Miss you greatly. We will always remember, Bundy, with that beautiful smile.
RIP.
Auntie Miss U and family in JAMAICA.

My darling Kristine

Thank you for being my friend. I was blessed to have known you you were a beautiful soul a strong woman. You will be missed! I will treasure the memories kalooki and all😊. No more pain my friend. You fought a battle go Rest In Heavenly Peace. I love you.

Rest In Peace sweetheart. Your wittiness and smile will always be remembered. Through all that pain you still remained so optimistic and still had an awesome sense of humour, a true inspiration. The ice cream and 3 hour talk last time was soo enjoyable and I’m so sorry we didn’t get to meet up one last time, but the memories I will cherish. My deepest condolences to all your family and close friends . You will be missed.

Hey “buddy” I can hear you saying those words. I’m still in denial that you are gone. I will miss teasing you about your OCD personality of having things neat, clean and organized. Not to mention you scribbling away on your sticky notes. I’m thankful for meeting you and the impact you had on my life. You were always putting others above yourself. I remember times when you would come with plastic containers of gifts for the patients sometimes I wonder how you found the energy to do it when you were not feeling your best. But that was you putting a smile on the faces of other cancer patients. I am gonna miss you telling me about plants and how you found one and was bringing it back to life. I have a plant by my window at work, every time I see it I smile thinking of you and the joy you brought by bringing numerous plants for the patients. Every time we passed out a gift from you to a patient it made them smile and they appreciate you showing you care and understand the journey they are going through. I have seen you in so much pain and how you fought hard to beat cancer. Times I wish I could take away the pain. You were tired and God saw that you needed to rest. You made your mark in so much individuals, that was you just you Kristine. I will cherish all the memories I have of you. You will continue to live in all of us. I prayed for God to show me a sign that you were at peace and He did. I find comfort in knowing you are healed. Rest easy Kristine… until we meet again.

Cousin Kris,
You will not be forgotten, you were more than a warrior.I will keep those memories alive,literally -the plants you gifted me and vice versa.I was happy to share my plant life with you.RIP,Darren and Cici had the pleasure of meeting you,May God keep you in his loving arms.
