Written for the beautiful Kristi Cunningham,
Thank you for bringing love to the world, and for reteaching me what's most important.
In dedication to you;

No star will ever shine so bright,
Sunshine becomes nothing more than sunlight.
Memories will fade to glimpses,
The world feels wrong with you gone,
Living here without you just doesn't feel right.

The heavens are beyond what words could ever describe,
But something feels like it's missing,
Of course it would be better if my loved ones were by my side.
My story might have ended that day I passed away,
But my legacy will live on through my daughters eyes.

One day we will finally understand why,
All of this will finally make sense,
We'll know the reason behind our calling,
And the reason we were called back home,
God's purpose for us must have been fulfilled,
We can't question His plans,
Instead we should place our faith in His Hands.
And never let one day go by,
Without keeping those you love the most,
somewhere sacred, somewhere close,
Somewhere easy for us to find,
Somewhere special,
Somewhere deep inside.



Today while looking online for someone with the exact same name, I came across this memorial, she was someone I never met, yet something made me want to know more. It could be the simple fact someone went out of their way to make this for her, she must have truly been loved. She must have been a really beautiful person inside and out, I wish I would have had the honor of knowing her, and feeling the warmth of such a loving family. This truly gives me hope, my family fell apart after losing my father. The word family has lost it's meaning in my life, but being reminded their are people out there who prove there is still an importance of family, makes me want to be a better mom. I will pray for all of you, that you can find peace until God brings you together again.

Some days are harder than others. I think of you and of all the memories we shared and can't believe we wont be making any more together. I can't even express how much I miss you. You were such a beautiful person both inside and out. So selfless, funny, and such a great friend. You kept it real, and everyone who was close to you and knew your heart loved you for that. I take comfort in knowing I will see you again one day and give you the biggest hug. I love you Kristi!

Kristi, I watched you grow up at Brisas in your mom's classroom. You are a special and beautiful girl, daughter, woman, bride and mother. RJ loves you so much; I remember your wedding. I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to know you and your wonderful family. I love your sister Bree and your amazing mother Cindy Rooney. You are certainly in heaven with the angels today.

A true shining star! Kristi, you will be missed by all.

Kristi we have so many memories of you.. From a child to teenager to wife and mom. You truly are a special person. As a child you were amongst the three musketeers! You Kai and Heather were born in a 5 month period! Great memories of the family together at such a young age! On and off in our get togethers through the years were nothing short of happiness! Beaching, Camping and family fun. Over the years I see how you have such a wonderful family life with your girls, husband and all us. Brooke is so happy of the memories of both of your unplanned trips where you all ended up on the same island in Hawaii
It is a hard Goodbye.... You are so special we love you! We will always see a bright star in the sky!

You were always someone I could count on being there when I needed a friend to lean on. I miss you, Kristi Cunningham, and I look forward to seeing you on the other side. Hugs!

You are and always will be the most amazing mother I have ever met! I told you that all the time because I was amazed by the love you gave your girls. You always where the person I could talk to about everything. Being the kind of person who never leaves my house living next to you made me come out of my shell just because of how amazing it was just to talk to you. You took care of me with food when I was sick and welcomed me into your home whenever I needed advice. You have a amazing family and lots of friends that have stepped up since you have gone to heaven. I can hear the girls in the back yard and although your loss will be deeply felt by them I will always remind them of what an amazing mother they had and now what an amazing angel they now have watching over them forever.
