As you can see here she weighed a little more than nothing....even on her healthier days. But though she was little in size she was HUGE in so many other ways......

the LOVE she had to give,

the KNOWLEDGE that she taught us,

the BRAVERY she showed,

the SELFLESSNESS she had,

the SMILES she wore,

the WARMTH she created,

the STRUGGLES endured,  and

the FAMILY & FRIENDS are just a few things that Kristine Smith had a lot of......

TIME is the one thing that she was not given. At such a young age of 21 she left us physically, but in our hearts, our memories, and so many other ways.... she will stay FOREVER!

I Love You Sissy  

I Miss You With All My Heart

from Your Baby Sister Stephanie Smith-Ybarra

This is the way it always was..... Mommy and her 3.......

There are so many memories I have about my mom, my 2 sisters, and ofcourse me..... the baby of the bunch! lol

We would blast the radio on saturday morning so we could dance and sing while cleaning the house..... We would act so silly bumping into each other as we passed by, or do a funny dance to a certain song, or just plain sing our hearts out as the morning passed by. Then showers so we look our best to go cruise around Victory Park or go walk around at the Flea Market even if we didnt have any spending $$. The purpose we had was to be together and have some fun because there were more days of being in hospitals or sick from radiation and chemo therapy then these.

I tell my kids every day how much fun we would have even if it was just doing our chores...........

Kristine & Richard

Prom Night - She Danced, Laughed, n had a Night Of Elegance!

There was nothing in this world that anyone could say that my sister couldnt do.  If she wanted it then she was gonna have it. She was no different then any other teenage girl....she loved long finger nails, her hair and make up done, a killer outfit, and most of all a hunk at her side! Richard was her knight in shining armor.

Thank You Richard for treating my sister like the beautiful lady that she was and will always be........
