The feeling of giving is the best feeling in the world. Kristin was such a GIVER all the time!! To see the groups that we are helping in her name is just an awesome site. Not only are we helping children in third world countries we are helping people here who need help to. We truly are making a difference in Kristin Kleizo’s name!
Kristin truly lived and just loved her life which is why I will keep putting stuff on this site! There is no way to really describe her other than the most LOYAL and REAL person I have ever met! She would help anyone who needed without an agenda! On the other hand I have had some of the best friends money can buy and what a contrast! She was a friend who did not have her friendship for sale like other people who I have wasted my time and energy on and I will always love her for that! Kristin always did the right thing and sometimes the right thing is also the hard thing to do! I know a lot of you come to her web site and watch these videos and see how much she really lived! I can honestly tell you that it’s not how old you live to be that matters. It’s how much you lived in the time you have! She lived more in the last ten years than most people live in a lifetime. She would be in the mountains in the Winter snowmobiling then be wake boarding in MI and Tennessee and then from there be going to a MVP training to help people become more! Who in the real world gets to do that? God must have wanted an earth angel to help in Heaven a little earlier than all of us wanted! I will never say goodbye to my girl because I know I will see her again! She will be the first person I look for at the gates because I will be giving her the biggest hug and tell her how much I missed her! Until then I will continue to tell her story and make sure her legacy lives in MVP and carry her in my heart!

When Kristin came into my life 6 years ago we became very close. We would drain perfectly charged cell phones and would have to put in our backup batteries to finish our conversation and knew that if we drained the second battery, well it was time for bed. She had a charm and a way to talk you into doing anything. Earlier this summer she convinced me to ride on a roller coaster and God couldn’t even do that. I don’t think a day went by where we didn’t status, us Sagittarius and our intuitive nature’s stick together. She became my dearest friend where we shared everything. We talked about her passion and visions of MVP, and I told her that I would be there and do anything she needed. Kristin, baby girl, you always took care of everyone!! Always trying to be in more than one place at time, now you can be. You wanted MVP to become larger than life, now with you watching over all of us it will be. YOU want to be remembered by creating something that would change lives, now you will and that can never be taken away! - I love you.
When I heard the tragic news the other day, I felt totally numb. We have lost one of the most incredibly passionate and energetic persons I know I have ever been blessed to know. Kristin just radiated so much love for others, in her smile, her confidence, her laughter and zest for living life to the fullest. I truly think she lived more in her years of life than many who live to be elderly persons. For me in network marketing, Kristin was an awesome sponsor, an inspiring coach, and a dear friend. I felt so blessed to spend just a few minutes in conversation with her at a training event just a few weeks ago in Orlando, Florida. To all who loved her, now we need to keep her enthusiasm and self-less love alive in our daily lives, because Kristin was an example of what it means to be fully human, fully alive. We will miss her until we meet again someday in Heaven.
When I received a phone call informing me of Kristin’s passing I was reminded of a something Buck always quoted from Walter Payton, “Tomorrow is Promised to No One” and then he’d go on to say that when our time is up we should know that we lived our life with “No Regrets!” This rang true as I began to really process what had just happened and who was just taken from our lives…. Kristin lived everyday to it’s fullest, loving life and always having FUN in all that she did. You could feel how much her family and friends meant to her and that she never gave up on them. She was there to support in their trying times and always wanting the best for them.
I friend wrote me the other day and said, “When God needs help that requires a special talent for an Angel, he knows where to get them.” And we all know that Kristin had many talents to pull so many things together on a whim.
I know that as Kristin walked through those gates her smile lit up heaven as it did when she walked into any room we were all in with her! I know Heaven was having this biggest party to welcome her home and she will continue it on and one day she’ll welcome each of us into the party as well.
We know that even if you are with God that you will be a Guardian Angel to so many and checking in when everyone from time to time.
My wish is that everyone reading this, takes a moment to reflect on their lives and on hers at the same time. Live as she did - love your family and your friends and tell them that you do OFTEN. Don’t miss that opportunity! Have FUN with life, stay in the positive always! Smile and make others feel your coming from the heart when you are talking to them. Live with No Regrets as she did!
Kristin you are dearly missed, but you will live on through all your friends and family until we see you again. Love U!
We all have such wonderful memories of Kristin that we will cherish forever. Shareing those memories with each other will allow her legacy to live on.
Our Prayers are with her close friends & family, hoping these dedications bring comfort that her LIFE on earth fulfilled such a meaningful purpose.
The “dash” between her years was full of energetic life, warm love, & contagious smiles.
I have spent alot of time with Kristin in the past months with MVP. And even though I only met her in January of 2008, she treated me like a brother. She was so full of life hardly taking a break from helping people in their business. I remember the first time I spent time with her and Buck, we went to lunch at a Chipotle in Utah and Buck was going over the material he wanted to do at the training and how Kristin was always attentative and adding to the training. It was a chaotic collaboration phones were ringing and everything happened so fast, frankly I was lost but they knew each other so well that it made perfect sense to them. On the ride back to the training we were in the Range Rover and Buck noticed he got taco sauce on his tie and before he could say anything Kristin already had a Tide pen out and fixed it. I couldn’t help but laugh, but right then I knew how close of friends they were, Buck was focused on the training and Kristin was focused on making sure everything came together. As I got closer to Buck and Kristin and I went to more trainings I became more of a friend and felt more a part of their lives. At a training in Florida Kristin had ran all day and through the night helping people build their business. She wanted to eat something, but the hotel kitchen was closed. She bet me that I couldn’t get her a sandwich because three people already told her the kitchen was closed. I disappeared for ahile and told her that I couldn’t find anyone. Then about 5 minutes later a guy came out with a turkey crossiant and said I hope this is ok. Her face lit up she couldn’t believe she was going to eat I heard her tell this story over the past months. So as we she was eating we talked a little about my wife and kids and how my wife loves coach purses. She went on and on about how she has never seen a coach purse she liked. Two weeks later she was in Rockford, IL for my training and I asked her if she wanted a coach purse she was like umm sure but I’m telling you I’ve never owned one because they’re not my style. I went in the back of the office and brought up a White with polkadot Coach purse and she absolutely loved it. She told me she felt like she was in a movie. She had it with her ever since. Kristin was never greedy she never asked for anything and she was so appreciative for everything. She always took pictures and was rarely sad. Straight forward and intense then a laugh. I know that Kristin wanted MVP retreat(s)(she always added the s and buck would correct her) to be a huge success, and I will do anything I can to just that. God Bless Kristin Kleizo as you will be greatly missed by many many people!

We have only met Kristin twice when she and Buck trained here in Rockford Illinois with us. Although we had not had the chance to get to know each other well, we could tell that she was a great person with a lot to offer the world. We are sure that she is watching over us all now and forever and we (the members of MVP Retreat) will be her legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with her “brothers” Buck, Mike, Dan and the rest of her family and friends. We will see you again Kristin, and we will make you proud with MVP while we wait.
Kristin Kauth sent me an email about a friend’s passing. When I opened the link and found out it was Kleizo by heart sunk. I couldn’t believe it was real. I read the story 3 times before it actually registered. My heart sank, my tears began to flow and I was immediately brought back to 2001 when I first met Madame Blueberry.
Kristin is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. In a time when I was not sure of my self, sure of my life, or sure how to move forward with my dreams, Kristin came into my world.
She was always so full of life, loved to dance, full of laughter, warmed to room around her, remembered your name and ALWAYS made you feel important.
During our trainings, she made people feel loved, accepted everyone and always had time for her friends. She was life. She radiated energy and feared nothing, lived each day to its fullest and taught me to believe in me. She will be greatly missed and another reminder to live our life, follow our dreams and keep sight of what’s really important. All the money, power, wealth and fame cannot ever replace the richest treasure of all, good friends and living for today instead of putting off what we really want until someday.
Hi Kristin,
I am writing to you instead of about you because I know you are reading this. Although we have known each other for a relatively short period of time, I can’t help but feel that it was much longer. I will miss your inspiring attitude and your contagious laugh, and I will never forget Stepbrothers. It is a shame you had to leave here so soon, but you’ve got things to do elsewhere. I’ve been told I have a tendency to be long winded,(by you, if I’m not mistaken), so I will keep it short and sweet. You will be missed but never forgotten. Go with God.
Bless You Kristin I only met you a few times and you were a big help to me as a total stranger. Imagine the I would of received if I were a friend you will truly be missed. Thanks for the blessings you gave others
I met Kristin nearly a decade ago. She was always a bright, energetic and selfless person. I will always remember her as a person who went the extra mile. She will be truly missed, a brilliant soul was taken out of this world. Kristin I know you are now in a place to make your dream come true, but you will be missed here helping us make our dreams come true.
When i found out about kristin i was shocked i couldn’t believe it was her out of all people. She was such a good person, Very happy, Outgoing, Would give the shirt off her back to anyone. I haven’t known her for very long only 4-5 years but i will never forget her. She is one of a kind, I hope the best for her up there looking down on all of us. Love you girly!! R.I.P. Kristin
I am so sorry, please accept my condonlance for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family. Take care and may Jehovah be with you all.
Love Geri Conklin
May the angels guide you in Kristin. You have impacted so many peoples lives in so many different ways and have touched so many hearts. You will we be missed dearly but i know you are watching each and everyone of us everyday. Through your words of encouragement and much success we will live our lives. Forever in our hearts…and with us everyday never forgotten. Rest in Peace Dear. Love you always! Jenn H.
Kristin Kleizo will always and foreer been in the hearts of so many hundreds and even thousands of people as she has personnally touched so many of us. From the times we shared, laughing till we had tears in our eyes to the time we had our serious game face on playin each other in various sports; she has always given it 100 percent no matter what! I have always thought alot of her because no matter what kinda of challenge that was put in front of her - she found some way, shape, or form to acheive or overcome it without anything or anyone slowing her down or getting in her way. She always had a smile on her face and it was hardly ever that you seen her that she was not laughing… We are always gonna be missing you Kristin! You played a deinite role in my life as well as many others. I definitely hope and pray that I get to see you again someday on that beautiful golden shore!!
The three things that come to mind when thinking about Kristin are:
1. Her glowing smile
2. Her distinct, scratchy voice
3. Her willingness to take a chance, run with it, and follow the dream!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I won’t deny it has been some time since I’ve worked with Kristin, but I know her family and best friends feel the pain of loss that You can only heal. Please help comfort them, draw them closer to you, and remind them she is in Your hands…which is the safest place to be.
Thank you, Kristin, for all you’ve done!
Krisin, you were an amazing person and did your best to improve everybodys lives. Well, you defiently touched mine! I remember going to spring fling and all those events and seeing you laugh and smile that beautiful smile you had! You have many people that love you and will love you forever! I do want one favor to ask of you and God…Please be a gaurdian angel over your brother Mathew and everyone else. I didn’t get my chance to say I was sorry for anything I did to hurt you! Again, you are an amazing Angel, watching over family and friends that need your guidance to the right path in life! You were so beautiful and I will miss yo so much! Everytime I eat a blueberry I will think of you! I Love you! And I am so SORRY!

I only met her twice. I won’t forget her. I am so sorry for the great loss of Kristin’s family and friends. Know that God is grieving with you during this difficult time.
Kristin is an amazing person and one I will always cherish as my friend. I am sorry for her passing. She brought an energy and element of fun in everything she did. She was fiercely loyal to her friends. I love her. May God bless all those who morn for her passing and be comforted as they look forward to the day when we will be reunited with her. She left an amazing impression on all that had the opportunity to know her. May we all take a piece of her spirit and use it in our own lives to make this world a better place, a kinder place and above all a more enjoyable place than when we found it because that is exactly what she did.

as i read about the memories that have been shared , i feel good knowing that kristin touched so many peoples hearts! when she 1st touched mine i was a little 9yr old kid in the summer of 1984! even at 9, i knew she was special! i grew to luv her as a sister! i miss her so much! i cant believe im sitting here writeing this! kristins heart was so big and her spirit so beutifull! she never backed down from anything! if i got in trouble or did bad in school she look at me with such disappoint in her eyes! like i totally let her down! she never said ” fernando, im dissappointed in u! ” but i always saw it in her eyes! she never said “fernando, i luv u!” but i always saw it in her eyes and felt it in my heart! Kristin i luv u and i miss u ! u taught me so much about love and life and what it trully means to be blessed! ur smile will continue to light my way!
When I heard the news that you were gone it brought such sadness to me. Of all the people I have known, you are a woman of true passion, happiness, leadership and compassion. You were always the most selfless person I had ever met and willing to help anyone. This waking earth has lost a truly geat person, but Heaven could not have gained anyone better. You lived life to the fullest and to do that you were not afraid to take great risks. I know that you went out doing something you love, and not many people can say that. You, your brothers and your friends are in my prayers as we honor your living and remember your passing. At least I have 100’s of pictures of you and your beautiful smile and energy to keep you alive with me and others that new you. You will never be forgotten! Because of your passion for everything you have ever done, you will do much good as one of God’s angels, and I know our paths will cross again. Look over everyone, and the next time I have that gut feeling, I know it will be you watching over me. Rest in peace my friend.
Although, I only knew Kristin from a distance, she changedmy life and what she gave me will propel through time and space impacting many, many people. Kristin, had the courage to follow her dreams, she let her light shine for all to see. She took her strengths and utilized them to help others. Her love of life and desire to spend her life with the people closest to her made her an incredibly warm spirit that radiated to all around her. She helped to give me the courage to continue to follow my
dreams. From a distance,she taught me a very valuable tool, many of you know her for it, promotion.This tool has totally changed my business which in turn is changing my life. Most of all, Kristin taught me to be myself and never take a day or a person for granted. I will continue on in the home based business arena helping to change people’s family trees and lives with what I’ve learned from Kristin. She has added a whole new dimension to my why. Her light will continue to shine beyond today impacting many lives over the world. Let us remember Kristin for what she gave and she will live in our hearts forever.
I met Kristin a year and a half ago when I was trying to get her into a business I am in and she turned it around and showed us why we needed her. She was right and I am so glad that I listened! I was able to go out to Utah to experience life Kristin style, we bonded quickly and made the decision that her and her MVP family needed to be in our life. We all became so close, so fast! She is a true BLUEBERI in every sense of the word, a beam of light in all of our lives and a women that experienced life to the fullest! When I think about her in her last moments, I feel a sense of peace knowing that she was doing what she loved best, having fun with her closest friends and taking pictures to capture the moment. She will be in our hearts forever and sincerely missed. Heaven is lucky to have her.
Dear Kristin,
We all so appreciate the many blessings you have brought into our lives. Your smile, laughter, and many words of wisdom have been invaluable to us all. Your ability to “gather people” (one of your many “Blueberi” talents)and promote, promote, promote MVP -You are the Most Valuable Person! We just all appreciate you. You will be missed by all whose lives you have touched including my own.
Continue gathering in Heaven and promoting goodness and just know that you will always be our Angel.
Love to you,
April
The first time I met Kristin was in Orlando I was being my true ‘RED’ self and all she did was laugh at me and tell me dumb jokes. She kept saying that we needed to meet her mentor Buck Reed and that I definitely needed his training for me and my team. After listening to her, I realized that she might be right. She talked Lynette and I into going to Utah to see her team, how close they were and how much fun they had. It was an unbelievable experience! After that weekend we became the best of friends and talked all the time, about work and about life. She became so close to my whole team and has touched all of our lives. No matter how stressful things got she was always the rock. I couldn’t believe that with all of the events going on, they would always take the time to go to Olive Garden and get together with their team and watch movies, their favorite pastime. Kristen has left such a positive impact on my life, as well as my sales team. I could never repay her for what she has done for me personally. I will miss you and I will see you in heaven. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. Please take care of Paula; she will be up there with you soon.
Kristen - Although we didn’t know you very well, your enthusiasm and energy exhibited to our Team was limitless. Thank you for allowing us into your life and showing us your passion. You obviously have a higher calling and we know a finer person could not have been chosen to take on the task. You will be missed but not forgotten. Love, Doug and Gala
I have had the opportunity to talk with kristin at each event in rockford .I often told her that she used 100,000 words with gusts up to 400,000. It is rare that you see someone promote an evevt like her .
There was contageous passion. I am somewhat the talker myself and she wore me out. You could tell that she wanted everyone to experience the joy and financial freedom she had come to experience in Her existence . MVP has opened My eyes to a bigger than life vision that I may have not experienced if Dan ,Buck and Kristin had not stepped into My life .
NEVER LOSE HOPE
It’s hard to say good-bye to someone who touched so many lives. Kristin had such a radiant personality, she drew everyone to her. It didn’t matter who you were, she always made everyone feel welcome and a part of the team.
I’ve known Kristin for 7 1/2 years, and I can’t put into words the numerous ways she impacted my life. The first time I ever saw her was in Chicago, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last. I was very fortunate to get to spend a lot of quality time with her over the years, and I will never forget that.
The biggest lesson I learned was to always have fun. She was the life of the party, and no matter what we were doing, she had fun. She always smiled that mega-watt smile she had, and right then and there people knew they had a friend for life.
It’s hard to accept that God called her away from us so early, but the comfort is in knowing that she is waiting for everyone to join her.
Cherish your friends, and the relationships you have built with everyone. Time passes us by too quick, and you never know when your time will come.
We love you Kristin, and will NEVER forget you.
Patti and I met Kristin during one of 3 MVP Retreats we attended. From the minute Kristin entered a room, no matter how many other people were in attendance she stood out. Not just her beauty, although she is quite beautiful. It is the warm beam of light she sends out that immediately gave you comfort and you knew there was a friend in the room. Life is truly a gift, that’s why they call it the present! We will both go on to live our lives with a little more BLUE thank’s to Kristin. God Bless.
In a time like this all we can really do is pray, {Join with Me .}
God , you are the God of miracles and you know our anxious thoughts.
You created us to love and to love you and others in return. As far as we know we’ve lost a dear friend. But you know her whereabouts and there’s nowhere she can be hidden from you.
Lord , we ask for peace in this situation and perseverence to find her lead the rescuers to her location and bring about good out of this perilous situation. Give us visions and direction. I know you can still provide miracles in this time of loss of hope . I ask that your will be done and that glory will be given to you. Bless Buck and give him strength. AMEN.
I met Kristin at Buck’s MVP Retreat earlier this year. It was the first and only time that I had the pleasure of meeting her.
She was a very beautiful, intelligent and impressive woman. I enjoyed listening to her speak, because she was so articulate, fun-loving and professional with so much energy.
She made a lasting impression on me as a sharp business woman, who had strength and character.
She was enormously loved by those who knew her, and she’ll be tremendously missed.
May God bless her family and friends who miss her and love her so much with his never ending compassion and his comforting spirit.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Kristin one time but, what an impression!! Such a passionate soul with so much joy and life. I can only wonder how nice it could have been to be one of her friends. I will never forget her and I am just thankful I got the chance to see her shine. God bless all who new her and her family I know she will be sorely missed.

I met Kristin for the first time just a couple weeks ago when she, Buck and the team were in Clearwater. What I met was a beautiful, articulate woman who is a roll model for women everywhere. It is so evident that she was living her passion and purpose, and she really did touch people with her smile and confidence. It was so wonderful to see such an honest, down-to-earth girl standing in her own power and radiating the compassion and inspiration to all of us in a way that was truly inspiring - not intimidating at all. Kristin, your life was truly a gift to all of us, and I am glad I got to experience just a tiny piece while you were here. We will meet again someday. And Buck - my heart is with you and your team grieving the loss of such a dear friend and “sister”. You are in my prayers too!

It’s true that the only riches that last are those you give away, and that makes Kristin a multi-multi-millionnaire. Not only was she the consummate networker and promoter, but she also had the gift of a servant’s heart and for making everyone she touched feel important. Being in the presence and mentorship of Buck and Kristin has influenced my life in so many amazing ways. My heart breaks for Kristin’s family and especially for Buck, but I will honor her memory by doing everything I can do to live out the things I’ve learned and am learning from MVP in every area of my life. We will miss you, Kristin, more than words can say.
Kristin was always the one you could count on to have a smile on her face. I was blessed to have her assist me with some paypal issues and she never seemed stressed about them. She figured it out that my identity info was amongst some that had been stolen and so paypal would not accept withdrawls of my account-She worked on it for about a month without even the slightest hint of frustration. Thank you Kristin for your thoughtful words and smile that was as real and natural as you. You will be missed by many.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Kristin’s untimely passing….she had so much more life to live and lives to touch…although I only had a few brief opportunities to talk with Kristin at Buck’s MVP and BMW workshops, I was immediately impressed with her great passion and spirit–it even surpassed her beauty, charm, and gentle nature.
It’s ironic, sadly, that when I last spoke with Buck Reed on August 31, 2008 that I mentioned that the ancient Greeks didn’t write obituaries….they only asked one question–did he/she have passion? (I was, of course, referring to Buck and Kristin’s great passion in what they teach–not just to improve one’s sales ability, but about improving one’s life/way of life in general. Kristin had tremendous passion for people and life. She will be sadly missed by all those who knew her.
KK, Where do I begin? You changed my life for the better as you did with everyone you came in contact with. On the day I made that call to the only number I could remember, the familiar voice of Kristin answered. You became my sponsor. The perfect business fit for my personality. This is once again a reminder that God works in mysterious ways. We know that for some reason he needed your smile more than we did here. Your legacy will live on through the hearts of the thousands that you have touched. MVP will live on and become stronger in your honor. No matter how many times you were knocked down, you got up. Each time you did you became stronger. Now you are stronger than life. You look down upon us with the smile of an angel. Every time I see blue, I will think of you. The songs that were shared. The laughs, the cries, the good times, the bad. I remember them all. You were the sister I never had. Thank you for being in my family’s life the last 12 years. You were more than a friend, you were family. Always know that you are more than missed and that we love you! Thank you for chasing your dreams and living life to the fullest!

Wow, Kristin, you touched so many lives! Always smiling, always laughing, always having fun. You were just fun to be around! As I was struggling to accept the news of the accident, I was reminded by a friend of mine that God must’ve needed your smile in Heaven. So instead of mourning I want to rejoice! I’m sure if you could talk to us right now you would tell us how beautiful Heaven is! My only regret is that my hubby never got to meet you…:)I know we will meet again someday. We will miss you and you’ll always be in our hearts!
Love you, Naomah
Kristin thank you for being the person you are. We were numb when we heard the news you had been called to meet the Lord so soon. We at the same time we rejoice knowing you are receiving the rewards you so richly deserve. We’re sure you understand your family and friends are feeling this loss and wondering why > just like we are. It hurts so much to be seperated from someone you love. We are so grateful for the years we had with you. Your smile, laugh, voice and bright light made a real difference in our lives.
What sustains us now in our time of tears is the comfort of knowing we will see you again in His Kingdom.
We can only imagine how you are celebrating with the ONEBIGTEAM of Saints in Heaven and watching over us as well. You will always live on in our hearts and precious memories.
We love you very much!
Randy & Sharon Whitman
Kristin, I am not sure how to put into words all you have done for me. You are the most joyful, loving, caring, giving and gracious person I have had the honor of meeting. I will never forget how it made me feel when I was told that YOU are now with GOD! I only knew you for around 4 years but I will never forget what you did for me and for many others. I will miss seeing you and you sister Tifi laughing, cheering and coaching all those around you. May God Bless you Kristin and your family. Know that you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Untill we meet again.

I met Kristin this year at the Buck Reed MVP Retreat. I only had the pleasure of being around her for 2 retreats, however she touched my life as one of the lucky few that was able to “live a life with no regrets”. An accomplishment that some never achieve in a long lived life, Kristin achieved in her much too short life. She truly inspired me with her infectious energetic & positive
attitude. Her professionalism and her inner & outer beauty are just a few things that we all admired about her so very much. Heaven has another star and she will be truly missed. May GOD Bless her family and friends during this difficult time.
From conferences and trainings to visits to our Orlando briefings Kristin’s warm smile, laughter and contagious energy filled the room. Those who knew her were truly blessed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all her friends and family. Love from the Orlando Team and the Tomlinson Family
Ben and I met Kristin several times at MVP trainings in Clearwater. She was one of the most sincere, beautiful people you could ever be lucky enough to meet. She was always helping someone, making sure everyone was taken care of and always had a smile. She will be greatly missed and our most sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to her family and friends for their loss.
Kristin - Your soul has moved to a higher place, but your spirit remains in all of us who knew and loved you. We who remember your smile, your laugh, your passion for life and everything you did, tried, completed.
We honor you with every tear shed, every thought of what was and what could have been.
And, somewhere there’s an Angel Party goin’ on with you in the center of it all wearing the brightest Angel Wings, covered with the happiest Angel Dust and having the most fun of all the Angels.
You still make us smile!
Kristin was a wonderful person with a giving heart. She was a wonderful trainer and friend. She will be missed.
My Dear Kristin,
I have know you since you were a young girl and watched you grow into a young woman with a smile that would light up the room.
I have had your picture hanging in my Hallway Gallery for years. When I walk by now I feel your spirit so strong. I know that your are in Heaven helping to build One Big Team and waiting for all your One Big Team friends to come join you. It makes those of us who have not taken the next step very sad when we think of all the times we will miss your smiling beautiful face. But it makes all of us happy knowing that we shared parts of your life and that we have wonderful memories and that we will see you again. We will meet again. I love you, Imo
My heart and prayers go out to all of Kristins friends and family. Having met Kristin twice at the retreats it was obvious how supportive and upbeat she was. She apparently had such an incredibly postitive influence on those around her. What a wonderful legacy to leave. One of love, laughter and joy for life. God bless all of her loved ones with comfort and peace in the days to come.
To me Kristin is the official Olympic Torch carrier of Love and Light! I met her about nine years ago and she and I became friends and counterparts helping run the One Big Team Trainings. Kristin was the Midwest “go to girl: and I the West Coast.
I have always admired her warmth; wit and beautiful way she made people feel welcomed and part of a huge family. She especially helped me a few years ago when I had such heartache in my life I was not sure I would ever survive it. She took my hands in hers and said, “You will get through this and be a stronger person for it. I feel there are many layers of you that we have never seen and I am looking forward to seeing the real you”. She was right, I did make it through and have become a stronger person. I will always cherish the comfort she gave me that day.
She had me laughing so hard one day on a trip down to Dewayne Chupp’s family home for a special dinner as she tried to get one of Bucks kids to stop crying. I will always remember that day and the love and laughter she gifted everyone including small children.
I am committed to live a fuller life in honor of Kristin and to help pass that torch of Love and Light to others the best that I can…..after all that is what Kristin would want us all to do. I can’t think of a better gift to give back to her for all she has done to enrich so many lives including mine.

Kristen and I had a conversation August 08′ and she was returning my call to her.(We played phone tag a lot)
Her first words were:”Hey hunn I was just thinking of you, as a matter of fact I think of you a lot”
I remember meeting Kristin for the 1st time over 3.5 years ago after I joined this indusrty for the 1st time.
My first night after we had a chance to talk and learn a lot about each other she said to me:”I can tell you love people and care about people, you are going to do great things for people and help people acheive great things in your life time”
She added:” I don’t say that to a lot of people because it takes a certain quality that’s in you and I believe a person is born with that quality, it’s not something you learn”
We talked regularly and she always asked how’s my wife and kids.

Small world has brought me this unexpected and unhappy news. I cannot claim to have been super close with K for a while but we did know each other well and barring my exit from the Michigan area in 2000 I am sure her positive attitude and incredible energy would have filled my mind with tons of memories. We know a lot of the same people and without trying to speak from the “know” I just wanted to say that the pieces that I did get to know about this vibrant, upbeat,and beautiful woman were all positive. I am sad to hear about this passing and can only imagine the pain that those so close to her are feeling. I am glad to have known you lady.

I went to high school with Kristin. this hit me very hard. She was my rock while in high school. We were the wine cooler queens of Boone High School. There are so many memories of her that it would be hard to pick just one. I can only imagine what her brothers are going through. She was such an amazing person. She was always laughing. She was the truest friend that I have ever had my whole life. The world is a much sadder place without her.
Hey Kristin!
Thank you for your example in my life…I was always amazed at how hard you worked and you were always happy and vibrant! I watched in amazement as you served so enthusiastically and unselfishly the people that you loved and how you gave light and love to everyone around you…thank you for that gift. I was singing this morning and you asked me to give these words to all of us…
the song is called:
“A Wish for You”
I hate to see you cry…I am not saying goodbye…I guess I’ve got to let you go away…someday…I hope that you will know…because your love I’ve grown…you will always have a place…deep within my heart.. and as you travel on your journey through life…I wish you fame and fortune and a little bit of magic potion..to sprinkle love and light wherever you may go…that all your dreams come true..and life is just good to you my friend.
chorus: So no matter where you go…if you need me I’ll be there for you..you’ve got to know!…spread your wings…dare to live your dreams…and know whatever path you may choose…a piece of me will follow.
Thank you for the song Kristin! I love you and miss you dearly!
Dear Kristin;
I don’t know where to begin except to say that you remind me of our daughter and we will always miss you. The day I learned you were our sponsor I knew I had a wonderful mentor and friend. I don’t understand why you were taken away from us, but I am determined to become the person you meant both allen and me to become. We will double and triple our efforts to become successful not only monetarily but personally, and spirtiual. thanks Kristin and we will see you in heaven.

Kristin and I have been friends for 15 years. We met waiting tables and instantly became friends. Although we had fun we both wanted so much more out of life and Kristin found that when she met Buck in Orlando. She was soooo excited about the opportunity she had and as we all know she ran with it and never looked back. Not many people have the guts or opportunity to follow their dreams and she did just that when she packed up and moved to Michigan in 1998. I stayed behind and watched her grow. I am so touched and proud as a friend to see how many peoples lives she had a positive effect on. She has always been generous, caring, compasionate and full of life! She comes from an awesome family and if you were ever fortunate enough to meet her Father who passed 4 years ago you would have instantly known that she was daddy’s little girl because he was also very generous and caring. Even though I know she is okay my heart hurts and the tears continue to fall. My love goes out to her Mother and Brothers!
Dearest Kristin;
I still can’t believe that on the evening of Sept 8th, God suddenly called you to join His Army of Angels. I can imagine it was a sight to be seen. I can see in my mind you running though the shining Gates of Heaven giving the “High 5″ sign with each of the angels as they stood beneath an arch of gigantic waterfalls of silver and gold sparkles! I can hear your favorite Celine Dion music as the background score of this majestic event. I see the sky alive with rainbows of fireworks exploding everywhere in the Heavens as you were welcomed home!
I wish I could have been there to celebrate your graduation an the awarding of your wings. It must have been a sight to behold with all the multitude of angels cheering your and your Daddy’s emotional reunion. I know much you have missed him as you were the such a kind and loving daughter. My constant prayers are for your Mom and brothers as they deal with the suddenness of your departure. In God’s time you’ll all be together again.
Kristin, you were truly one of the few true “Earth Angels” that have ever walked on this planet. You did an outstanding job of loving and giving unconditionally which I know helped earn you instant access to Heaven. It was definitely Heaven’s gain and our loss
I do find comfort that God decided He needed you to help Him, and I have zero doubt that you’ll be His new
“go to girl” as you’ve had lots of practice in being of great service to all of us.
I guess your mission here was complete… Remember when you stayed with me that “fun” month at my home? I shared with you my favorite book, “Illusions” by Richard Bach and I read you the part, “How do you know if your mission is finished…if your alive it isn’t.”
Kristin, your mission here was that you specialized in bringing JOY to others, and that is the ulimate life gift one can give. You brought me and others that gift over and over again and I will cherish it forever. I know you know now how much I truly loved you.
Another amazing gift of your Earth mission was how you took care of Buck and his family. I am praying for all of them as you were a major part of their family and I know how much they are missing you. I know for a fact Kristin, that you’ve already put in your request to be their Guardian Angel to watch over them. Some things never change. They need you now more than ever.
I will miss you beyond words. You’ve taught us all that the true meaning of life that LIFE IS A GIFT to not be taken lightly, that we must be grateful every day and to live life to the fullest. I know 100% that your last day spent with all “your boys” was the happiest day of your life. I can feel you smiling and I get chills as I write this.
We spent many fun-filled moments together that I will treasure in my heart always. I am grateful to have so many happy memories of you. Your smile always made me smile. My funniest memory of you was when we celebrated your birthday at the South Bend convention center. We gave you your birthday cake after singing Happy Birthday, and you accidentlly dropped it on the stage floor. I can still can hear the roar of laughter from the crowd, and you laughing louder than then anyone in the room.
Thank you for reminding me to keep that child-like innocence in having fun and not taking life so seriously. It is said that laughter is the best medince. If so, then you are a healer too, as I will always remember drinking your famous KK cocktails in your living room and laughing until we had tears running dowm our faces.
Again, Kristin I can only imagine the pure fun you will be having planning all your family and friends’s
“Welcome Home Celebration Parties”…you’ve always be the Light and the LIFE of every party!!!
You truly touched my heart Kristin. Thank you for being a huge chapter in my life, and I will always miss you!
Loving You Always,
Sheri
Dear Kristin,
We truly will miss the love,laughter and friendship that you showed to not only us but to anyone that you met. You had a personality that overwhelmed every piece of space you were in.Your spirit was of such kindness and caring way that we have never seen in any other person we know. You are truly blessed. We pray that you be at rest in the hands of our Lord, for he does know what is best for all. Kristin, you have been in our home and you are a Class “A” friend. Gordon danced with you in Las Vagas and we have pictures of your bright shining smile that we will never forget. You will be in hearts forever.
Love, Gordon & Cheryll
My dearest Kristin, I will always remember you for being the ultimate “promotor”, the best at helping to build Buck into being the trainer that he is. You always had such high hopes for me and unfortunately it wasn’t to be with me. I had other roads I had to go down in my Life Path. But your influence has always been there and I’ve always tried to be who you wanted me to be. As for those you’ve left behind who love you so much, I know you are watching over them and taking care of them. And I also know that you are still walking beside every step that Buck takes, laughing and smiling and encouraging him, protecting him, and guiding him. I know his heart aches for you, but you will always be in his heart. My thoughts and prayers go to him and to all of your family. As you so often told me “hold that chin up because you can’t cry when you lift your chin” May they all “lift their chins” and feel your love from above.
Dear Kristin,
Where do we begin! the date 9-8-08 will forever be with me. it will be the day that all of the people you smiled at and laughed with and helped guide throughout your life lost a friend, a sister, a daughter, a mentor. it will be the day that God said Kristin your work is done here come spend your time with me underneath the palm trees with the wind in your hair!
There is no amount of words or stories will ever explain what a wonderful loving person you are. i know that i will truly miss the times when you would leave all those people you make smile on a daily basis and fly to baton rouge to visit. my aunt london will miss her very dearest friend and i know that you are looking over her and steven and the babies! i know that you will forever be in our hearts and you have taught me to live life to the fullest because its too short.
I will forever have the greatest memories of you at the pool and the mall and when you got your car and when you wouldnt stop taking pictures of londons big twin belly before the babies got here! now i know why you were always taking pictures you preserved every minute of your life for all of those who cared for you so that we will never forget that you lived and laughed and loved with us… we will be surrounded by your smiles in those photographs and it will remind us of your laugh and your voice and your eyes. every time i take a new picture i will think of you and know that i am stoping time just for a second so that i will never forget what my life and the people around me are like.
Kristin your are loved greatly and i will always have you with me, close to my heart. you have touched so many people around this world in such a short time i can just imagine what you can do in heaven! i love you
Wow. I can’t believe I’m writing this. To say goodbye to you Kristin, breaks my heart. Thank you for being my friend, roomate and always helping support me when i needed it. I can only hope that I become to others what you were to me and so many others in your life. you had to remind me to live every day and never look back. Your radiance and enthusiam and positiveness will live on in me. I would not be who I am without having you in my life. Rest peaceful, I hope you have found your true happiness.
Rachel
Kristen,
Servant Leadership are the two words that come to mind when we honor your memory. You truly lit up the world with your commitment to serve, to laugh, to work, to create community, and with that 1000 megawatt smile. To those who spent every day in your presence like the Reeds, and your brother and mother, we send our prayers of strength and inner peace knowing that you will watch over them from above.
Thank you for being you!
Kristin,
Donald and I did not ever have the pleasure of meeting you but we feel like we know you. We spent six days with Buck and your two brothers, Mike and Matt looking for you at Norris Lake. We know that you are a great person and a lot of fun to be around.
I keep having dreams about you, your great family and your extended family. We are praying for your Mother and the rest of your family and friends. May God take care of you and give your family strength and comfort.
We love you Kristin.

The last time I saw you you were crusin down the highway in your convertible with the top down. I got up next to you in traffic so I could wave but you were rockin out to some song on the radio. Your hair all around your face and your head swaying to the music, your lips singing the song. This is how I will always remember you so free, energetic, spirited, and above all else just happy. I was so lucky to have had the chance to meet and get to know you through your brother Matthew because you inspired me and changed the way I viewed certain things in my life that helped me to move forward in a positive direction. I enjoyed being around you and I loved to stop by unannounced and give you flowers. I loved bringing you flowers not only because I wanted to visit with you but because you deserved them and they made you smile. I remember how much you loved the the peonies I brought you in the spring. The times that we hung out and the many conversation that we shared about so many things in life will be remembered always. My prayers go out to your entire family and your many many friends. You were one in a million K I hope you like your new set of wings because God could have only taken you from this world with one intent.
Kristin,
only God does what he does and knows why he has done it…He obviously needed you in heaven more than we all needed you here on earth…We are all coming to join you someday and then One Big Team will once again be together and having FUN FOREVER TOGETHER!! I will miss your beautiful smile with those dazzling white teeth, your raspy voice, your uconditional love and care for all those you came in contact with…Thanks for always making me feel very welcomed in all the weekends we spent togehter all over the country..I always felt so much better arriving at a venue and looking forward to seeing and speaking with you Kristin..My prayers will continue for your Mother and brothers and I know Christ will provide all the comfort they and the Reed family will need to get through this transition…Keep smiling down on all of us until that day we will join you in HIS Kingdom…
Love ya KK,
Chuck Wooten
KK or Crazy Kristin,
Where to begin roomie!! I will never forget us talking outside on the deck my last 2 nights in Tennessee (of course laughing as only KK would allow). We talked about how big we were going to make MVP and how we’d be neighbors again when the Reed’s moved to Breck. And how we could work out, the coffee place, just hanging. Then the next morning as I left you woke up early to say goodbye, which I said you shouldn’t have (but you were always that loving person,thinking of everyone else). Of course not knowing that God had another plan, I never thought that was really goodbye. It’s only goodbye in the physical sense, because you are still here in our hearts and that won’t ever change. I will do everything I can to help carry on your legacy and MVP. I know it was your dream and dreams never die. I have probably replayed our hug a thousand times now and every time it brings tears, but please know that they are tears of joy. I will always remember you as crazy Kristin who always brought a smile to peoples face when you walked up and got ready for that big loud hug. I will never forget how Buck talks about you and what you mean to him. He’s always said you are the most loyal person in the world. Keep passing on that beautiful smile. Our Prayers go out daily to you, your family, your many friends, and the Reed’s. We’ll all be smiling one day again together!!
I will always remember the beautiful girl from Orlando where magic happens. Kristen touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with. I feel very blessed that she touched my life too. She really lived life just like the song…Live life like you are dying!
I am glad to have had the opportunity to call her my friend. Until we meet again. You will always be missed.
Love, Georgeann Deltona, Florida
Kristin,
Its really hard to say anything. And I know goodbye in NOT one of them. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, your passion to help others is what made you very unique. You are Very true to what you preached, to what you believed in, to how you lived your life, and your true friendship. Even though we didnt get to see each other often, when we did connect you always knew how to make everything better, and you always made sure I always had a smile on my face. You will always be the bluberi that I know smiling down on us. When you meet my grandparents tell them I said hello. I’ve already told them you are good peoples. I know they will take good care of you. Thank you for showing me their are good people in the world like you. Don’t stop smiling!
Love you
Tiph
With a bright smile and electric personality, it is no wonder Kristin touched so many lives. This site and all the memories being shared by so many people is a tribute to her character. It was a blessing to have known her.
Dear Kristin,
I never got to know that well but met you this summer at a 2 day training in Minneapolis. You carried an energy about you that was magnetic. Thank you for being so warm and caring. From a first impression you were someone I would have loved to know more had our paths crossed again. Your family and friends will be in my prayers.
God Bless you!
This beautiful shining star that shined amongst us is now shining above us.
We feel so fortunate to have been touched by a loving spirit, so vibrant and full of life! We know it’s best to remember Kristin by speaking about the good memories and sharing the photos.
Some of the most beautiful things are being said about Kristin so it isn’t necessary to say too much because we all felt the same….a real passion for life.
She’s even touched us all now by the great expression of love and emotion that we are all expressing on this site!
Let’s keep this example of a life lived well with exciting adventure and zest by making time for ourselves, family, friends and even strangers to do simple acts of kindness as Kristin did in an unselfish way.
God Bless Kristin’s Family and Friends,
The Herreras in Miami, FL
In 1996 my brother Buck asked me to come to an office in Florida were he worked. When I arrived I was greeted by an overly enthusiastic young lady named Kristin. We all went to lunch that day and I remember telling Buck that he had a true Blue Berry on his hands. I remember how many ups and downs we have faced these past years and the light of hope that Kristen always brought to the situation. No matter how bad something got or how bad a situation was Kristen always brought her smile and positive perspective to the situation. Kristen was like a sister because she was my brothers best friend and truly became his sister in every aspect. The late night talks and the planning that her and I use to do will never be forgotten. Kristins’s beautiful smile and never ending energy will truly be missed. I will see you soon my little angel. Please do as you have always done and book me a reservation to where you are. With you on the task I know I will have no problem getting in. I Love you Girl!
When beginning with Viaviente’ in Sept. 2005; Kristin was the first person we met and welcomed us. Our first impression was how pretty she is, extremely confident, spunky and helpful she was. From then on, we’ve seen her at so many events where she always took charge and saw things thru. And what a presence she had not to mention her smile! We have got the pleasure of knowing Kristin for the past 3 years. We haven’t gotten to see her this past year but we often thought of her just because you couldn’t forget her. We understand all to well after losing my cousin (who is like a brother and best friend) David Reyes a short time ago; what its like to lose someone so soon. But they live on in our hearts. My condolences to her family and Buck Reed’s family. We are all blessed for the time we had with her. Much love to Kristin’s Mother, 3 brothers and Buck Reed’s family.
Goodbye Kristin, until we see each other again.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life’s been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Today I am writing this from Ft. Leonard Wood, MO where I just graduated from basic combat training. It is the first day in 2 months I have gotten to check e-mail. I had many emotion going through the experience the past 9 weeks and some of those times were handled by advice Kristin gave me through the past. I am literally shocked at the news and deeply saddenned. I do know that this woman was a person full of life and joy. She had a true passion very few have and I will never forget her. Because of you I have had success in different areas of my life. The best advice Kristin gave me was to just have fun in whatever we do. I think that’s the best way to remember her too. Here’s to you girl, chillin in heaven with that mai tai and your cell phone. I will miss you but will not forget you. Thanks for the memories.
Kristin, you left such a huge mark on all of our lives. You really, really lived your life. I have many memories of us hanging out and working together, but the memory that I cherish the most was just talking to you about your story. We all have our own stories, but yours was so incredibly special. The amount of success you had achieved and helped others achieve. All of that while still being uniquely yourself. You were so genuine. So happy.
You were truly unique and you will be greatly missed.
I thank God for the life that He gifted the world with through you.
Love always,
Matt
Kristin, I remember talking to you all the time on the phone then finally meeting you in person. You were always shining bright and gave me the biggest smile. You made me feel welcome every time we met. We would always talk about our travels and lifes experiences. I will never forget you and your brilliant personality. The world has been made better by you being here. Thank you for being a friend.
—-First memory,
The first time I met Ms. Kleizo was a cold evening, February 2001.
My self and few friends drove down to Chicago for the One Big Team Training to see Buck Reed, Sheri and of course Kristin Kleizo. I was in Chicago because Kristin Kleizo’s constant promoting. If anyone can create an excitement and sense of INSANE urgency it is Kristin Kleizo. She will make you fee like a trip to a history museum will be the trip of your lifetime! She had a gift, it was her!
We were sitting in the hotel lounge, not too far from the front desk and all of a sudden the door man open the door and the this hyperactive lady with fluffy blond hair, pearly white smile walked in. She was wearing this huge white fluffy winter coat with a big hoody. Its the coat that you see Rap Artist(s) wear on MTV. She was walking fast, almost bouncing, in one hand she had a small red purse and in the other hand she had a StarBucks latte. As she was walking/bouncing towards us, she was literally spilling the coffee out of the cup. I could not help but giggle and then I ask my friend Chris - “who is that?” - he says, that’s Kristin Kleizo!
Kristin came up to us and introduced herself and I could not escape her electrifying smile, it was so bright! She gave me a hug and said “I am so happy to finally meet you in person!”
Kristin was a person who embraced life, anyone she touched or talked to became a friend. If she was not working or promoting, she would be shopping, at the spa, taking photos of everything and everyone or getting her StarBucks latte. No matter what time I talked to her, even if it was 2:00am and we were both half asleep, she would still giggle and laugh on the phone.
—- My last memory
The last time I saw Kristin was end of August 2008 in Clearwater, FL during the MVP Retreat. I was helping her with paper work and just making sure she had everything she needed. Kristin asked me to go to her room and get a “Rockstar” energy drink - I did. When I came back, she asked me to get two cups… I asked “why?” She goes “Honey, you know I wont drink this whole thing by my self?” hehe - we all know that if anyone can finish a “Rockstar” drink, its Kristin! I went and grabbed two cups with ice and she poured half of the drink in my cup and the rest in hers.
That is how I remember Kristin, you do not have to ask her for anything, she ALWAYS knows if you need something and she always shares everything, including herself with everyone.
Kristin, you have been a friend, a mentor (and) an inspiration! You taught me not to take life so seriously but yet don’t take it for granted either! Kristin, you leave behind a legacy - your legacy is your spirit, your drive, the willingness to help and to inspire everyone!
You wanted to ignite people. You believed that everyone can be a better person! You wanted MVP Retreats to be huge! I give you a promise that it will be… Your name, your passion, everything that you stood for will live on forever.
Your number will never be deleted from my phone - I will always expect a call from YOU to schedule another training! always!
Love you!

Dearest Kristin,
Where do I begin? You may find this hard to believe but you have left me speechless. I have read your page,this page, every sinlge day. Everything that everyone has written is SOOO true.
Kristin, It was not until now that I could sit down and write you. There are so many WONDERFUL things that can be said about you. I’m having a hard time because It is very hard to believe that I could find ANY words to bring justice to who you were. You were/are SO VIBRANT and FULL of life that words cannot begin to explain you. The closest words I can find are Compassionate, BEAUTIFUL, KIND, FUN-loving, GIVING, LOYAL, LOVING, VIBRANT and You had a Smile WAY bigger than life. And now, Your smile truly is bigger than life.
Though Loosing you is sooo hard for many of us down here to understand, God did need you up there in Heaven and I know you are looking over everyone, guiding, protecting and Loving us from Above. Your mission up there is so much Greater. Please stay close to us all and let us know you are around us.
Your mom, brothers, family, and Buck (& family) all have my prayers and if they need anything I will do anything to help any of them in a heartbeat.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for who you are Kristin Kleizo. I sure wish I could have spent much more time with you, but the time I did have was priceless to me. Thanks for being a Giver and Always being the wind beneath the wings of OBT! Now, You’re an angel!
I LOVE YOU KRISTIN! For you I will always be grateful and for you I will live my life much better!
Love Always,
Kim Brewer (Fellow Bluberi)
My favorite Bluberi,
We have so many incredible memories together that I will always cherish. You have been a best friend, an inspiration and Angel looking over everyone helping them to be the best they can be and best of all, sharing with them how to help others. I will miss you, but you will always be their in my heart. I will remember our important talks as I move along my journey of life. Thanks, and I love you…
I didn’t know Kristen very well but you didn’t need to in order to see that she lived life to the fullest. She was always smilling and always willing to do anything to help others.
She inspired me!
My heart goes out to all of her family and friends.
Gerry Robert

I hired Kristin while she was still in high school. We needed and assistant and boy did we get one. She could do the job of 10 people. Her Dad would drop her off at the office everyday after school. They had the most incredible relationship. She loved him and all of her family more than anything in this world. Kristin was wise beyond her years. Funny, caring, thoughtful. We always kept in touch even though she moved on to bigger and better things. I am stunned and so sad for her family. I will never forget her beautiful smile. Maggie, Michael, Matthew and John, my prayers are with you. I love you Kristin!
We have known you since you were a child. Your Dad was one of Roscoe’s dearest friends. He was one of a kind, would give you the shirt off his back. In reading the memories posted by your friends, sounds like you followed in his footsteps. He was so proud of you and know that he is rejoicing as you join him. Our prayer for your Mom, Michael, Matthew, and John is that the happy memories that live in their hearts and God’s love and strength will carry them through until you are all reunited someday. We love you Kristen!
There is noone who can say that they have lived life to the fullest more than Kristin. She is a person who always took a risk, took time for friends, genuinely cared about everyone in her life, and appreciated every beautiful moment of it. She was my wine and sushi buddy, confidant, and greatest supporter. Even riding a bike 3 hours with me while I ran in training for a marathon. I will run the Auckland Marathon in memory of Kristin.
I think of her everyday and the things that she taught me. She has taught me how to take risks, relax, and follow my dreams. Although she is gone, she will continue to impact this world through all of the people she touched. This is only further emphasis on her motto to live each day to the fullest. I extend my deepest condolences to her wonderful family and friends who I love very much. She has tied us all together in such beautiful ways.
Kristin,
You will always be that genuine person with that genuine fire in your heart. What you have left on this earth will continue to manifest into great things. May we celebrate the wonderful values you have created and how you lived as you enjoy the gifts in heaven. You’re awesome and you have really contributed to that spark to achieve greatness. The days hearing you on the conference calls will be missed, but your voice will always be within us all. God bless and Aloha!
Dear Kristin: The way the song goes is …”and the good, they die young”. Don’t you know it is because we are all a work in progress and when the work is finished we get to go home. You especially worked hard at getting finished, I can tell from all the past letters. How much you loved life, your family, your friends, and even people you hardly knew. How much you gave of yourself to people in whatever their need - unselfishly.
This is the first I am hearing about Kristin’s Kids…but mark my word - that is going to be a great big deal.
We only had a brief time together on this island home, but what I will take with me of you is your genuine enthusiasm. I wish for your family comfort - comfort in knowing that we will be together one day. Take care of Paula - between the two of you, there should be lots of great fun to be had in heaven.
Kathryn
What can I say, from the bottom of my heart I Love You Kristin. I am ever so glad that Dewayne and I went to OH. when You and Buck did a Bus. Training for Reuben Yutzy. I will never forget our last Hug and I Love Yous. I can hear the whirring of many wings as the angels came to carry you to heaven’s Pearly Gate. Every day I can hear Buck’s words. LIVE EVERY DAY TO THE FULLEST BECAUSE NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW !!!!!!!! KK you have taught me to love unconditionaly and to accept people as they are and I want to follow that all my life. YOU have instille values in hundreds of people that will have a ripple affect for Generations to come. Hun I miss you. I will pray for Your and Buck’s family to have the strength to get thru this difficult time. LOVE YOU KK and BUCK
WOW!! Today is the first day since i have come to realization that i have to write such a note about such an amazing lady. Our HEAVENLY FATHER WAS ready for this BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.
Where do i begin with the great and many memories of this BEAUTIFUL ANGEL! All I can say is Kristin was such an inspiration to me as every time i would see her WONDERFUL BRIGHT SMILE!
She had such a POWERFUL SPIRIT in every way! When it comes to BUSINESS she had the best ENERGY and when it came to PLAYING she always had a BLAST.
Kristin’s voice was like no other and her QUOTE- WITH OUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT will always play in my mind.
WOW!! Sitting here writing this is so very SAD for me as i think about BUCK and all of her many family and friends that will MISS her daily presence, however at the same time i am HAPPY for now she is a BEAUTIFUL ANGEL IN HEAVEN WITH THE GREATEST FATHER OF ALL FATHERS WATCHING OVER EVERY ONE OF US AND AGAIN AS KRISTIN WOULD SAY- WITH OUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT HAVING THE TIME OF HER NEW LIFE!!
We will meet again,
We Love You and will keep you in are daily prayers,
Katie,Bryan,Cameron and Brittany Wong
We have heard of the tragic news late…Life presents events we often won’t ever understand…Kristin’s passing is one of those events. We are numb and at a loss for words of our own, so we have reflected back to a song that has helped us find some peace in time of sorrow and pain.
To Kristin’s mother and brothers and to Buck and family we dedicate these lyrics to you…our prayers are sent your way.
“Even though you’re gone were are still a team.
Through your vision I’ll fulfull your dreams.
In the future can’t wait to see if you’ll open up the gates for me…Reminisce sometime the night they took my friend.
Try to black it out, but it plays again.
When it’s real feelings hard to conceal.
Can’t imagine all the pain I feel. Give anything to hear half your breath
I know your still livin’ your life after death.
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
Everytime I pray
I’ll be missing you
Thinking of the day
When you went away
What a life to take
What a bond to break
I’ll be missing you
It’s kinda hard with you not around
Know your in Heaven smilin’ down
Watching us while we pray for you
Everyday we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I keep you friend
Memories give me the strengthh I need to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts, I just can’t define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Still can’t believe your gone
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know your still livin’ life after death
On that morning
When this life is over
I know, I’ll see your face
Every night I pray
Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
Everytime I pray
I’ll be missing you.”
In another 2 days It has been 10 years since I first meet Kristin.
She filled me with so much hopes and dreams. I struggled in the business with Buck Reed for so long. She would of been so proud that it did finally work out for me.
I wanted to leave the business so many times the only thing that kept me in is the friendships I developed with Kristin, Buck, Nolan, Tiff and others.
My mom who I also lost in May also felt so much love for Kristin.
You are in our hearts till the day we all meet again and rejoyce 1John 5:28-29.
What we remember most about Kristin is her smile and her laughter. Bubbly and effervescent - dancing and having fun. No one who makes others feel so good about themselves is ever really gone from our lives.
Kristin we love you
Ron & Ruth
It was a real shocker when I learned that Kristin has temporarily left us all. When I think about driving in the Mtns with Kristin thoughts of this hugh smile come to mind. Additonally, she was full of life & enjoyed very much being around the kids & showing them how to be great people. Kristin for sure was one of kind, loyal to the end & just a beautiful person to be around. We will all hook up again in the future & that smile will be there-guaranteed!
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!!
Ah! Hope you remember 2 years ago. You called me singing happy birthday and I said”What are you doing?” and you said, “Well, I’m singing happy birthday to ME from you, since you didn’t call me this morning”. I am laughing so hard right now. Actually, Artem reminded me of that incident. So last year I called you and sang happy birthday. Baby girl, I know your proud of MVP university. We had to LA to be with Chanida. MVP has so much energy and we know it’s you. We miss you.
Kristin, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I can only imagine the celebration you are throwing up there. We are all jealous that we are not in attendance. I am sure the music is going and the dancing is on. With your help, MVP is building faster than we all imagined. We know that you had the true vision. I am so appreciative that you opened all of our eyes so that we could see it too. Kristin’s Kidz is amazing and you will never be forgotten. LOVE YOU and MISS YOU A TON!
Happy Birthday!
I am sitting in my home in San Diego CA. looking out from my desk on the beautiful sunlight shinning off the palm trees in my backyard.
I know you love palms trees and the beauty of them today is in celebration of you, your smile and your zest for life.
I have your picture here in my office and it gives me encouragement daily to go out and make a difference and to enjoy life! YOU are helping this
“Green” become more “Blue”
I am honored to be a part of K. Kidz and MVP and look forward to helping so many others carry out your vision.
Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Dear Kristin,
I think of you and miss you every day. We are all still dealing with you not being here.
I talked to your Mom yesterday and I know how much she misses you.
I am happy to be a part of Kristin’s Kidz and MVP know that you will be remembered always.
Love and Blessings Always, Imo
Happy Birthday Kristin!!!
I want you know how much Ive missed you today. your birthdays were always so much fun and filled with laughter. i smile remembering the effort you put in to make sure we would celebrate your birthday and how the only present you would ever want was to be having FUN with your friends…preferably on the back of a snowmobile!
You are without a doubt promoting your birthday with the other angels in Heaven. Your presence was strong today and will forever be felt through the countless lives that will be changed through MVP and Kristins Kidz. I am so excited to know that on THIS birthday, you are able to see your dream coming true.
I miss you KK
Happy Birthday Kristin,
Last year we were snowmobiling in Utah on your B-Day. You would have never allowed us to miss an incredible day of riding dedicated to your birth. It was an unbelievable day and I wish you were here to ride with us this year on Dec. 11 as you were last year. I’m sure the powder in Heaven is just epic though. I can’t express in words how much you are missed by everyone that has had you be a part of their lives. We think about you every day. You have always given people hope by seeing the good in every situation. It is not easy to see the good in not having you here with us in person. We know you will always be watching over us and truly will be with us forever. We love you Kristin.
Justin Dransfeldt
“Honey….you did such a great job down here, i need u back up here” ….God missed you too and you got to leave early. I remenber one of the last things we said to each other and we both agreed we just wanted to be loved and missed! Well my yaya You have certainly done that. Sophia misses you everyday and so do I. I will see my Dawni and you in heaven. Truth was always your friend, your word was your bond, your heart was the BEST. You were my friend down here now your my angel up there. God said “Happy Birthday Kristen..welcome home. Roni Reed Bunch
Kristin, I never had a chance to be with you on your birthdays but I always talked to you on the phone on that special day. You would promote your own birthday like no one else!
You treasured every single day that you had, from sunrise till sunset.
Today on your birthday, I keep looking on my phone and just remembering our conversations. Your number will never be deleted from my phone! Because of your inspiration and life that you lead here on earth - your name will be all over the world!! Kids will have a better life and opportunity because of you.
Just like everyone, I miss your smile and your intense energy but it was time and you had another mission.
I will always treasure the memories and lessons of our friendship.
Happy Birthday Bluberi!
- A R T E M
Kristin, we will all continue to celebrate your life and we will always remember how you reminded us to keep smiling/laughing! Happy Birthday!
Love-
The Falcatans
Happy Birhtday Crazy Kristin!!! I can only imagine the party you are throwing for yourself
I can assure you that there are parties everywhere down here and prayers for YOU and that beautiful smile.
I can’t thank you enough for having the vision along with Buck to make MVP and Kristin’s Kidz come to reality. I am so thankful to be part of such an amazing company and opportunity to help change lives!!
I know you are smiling down looking at your baby growing….And probably laughing at us too
Keep looking over us with that big beautiful smile!!
Happy Birthday Kristin! Celebrating your Birthday and Christmas in Heaven has to be the ultimate experience for you. We can hear your laughter in the wind, see your beautiful smile in the stars and imagine you on a heavenly Ski-Doo jumping cloud to cloud laughing and thinking > “If Buck could just see me now!”
It’s been a challenge for all of us down here, but we are moving forward. As long as our heart beats we can sense your presence until that glorious day we can see you again in His Kingdom. We find comfort and encouragement in the Word of God for all those who have gone before us and the promise of a place so wonderful it is beyond description.
I (Randy) am so glad we had some time to share together about the Lord this past year and how much He loves us. Your love for Jesus shared in tears of joy was something I’ll never forget. As you know there are so many dimensions to celebrating life on earth, but so much more experiencing the abundant life promised in Christ.
We honor you! We love you!
Romans 8:28
Always,
Randy & Sharon Whitman
Although I never met Kristen, I can see why she is celebrated. I have made some friends that most don’t want to meet and I have friends that most people won’t think twice about. I can see her as the kind of person that would reach out to anyone no matter how many people told her not too. We lost my daughter last year to a still birth when My love was seven months along. Just I said she will look out for us, I know kristen is looking out for her friends from heaven.
Happy Bday Kristin! I know we missed the actual day…but if you’re anything like us…we spread our birthdays out over a good week or two! So keep celebrating. We are excited to see where your Kristin’s Kidz goes and to help where needed. BIg hug to you up in heaven!
hey baby girl,
Happy New Year!!!!! last year we spoke on the phone past new year. Whatever we were talking about it was good, because we missed the count down. Or, was it the year before that? Almost every year, besides everyday, we would chat on the phone and I miss that. This New Years celebration was great, because MVP and Kristinskidz.org is going to be big. I hope you got a chance to look at your website. It’s beautiful. love you!
My Dearest Kristin, Our memories of you are forever in our hearts. This add is long overdue, but we have always been thinking of you. Sandy and I have dreams of you, how some day in the future we will all be together in Heaven. I’ll never forget when I saw you for the first time. It was a training in Los Angeles in early 2002. I was blown away, as you had this smile that was so unique, ear to ear of course. then I had the chance to meet you at 2002 Spring Fling, with your brother, Matt. Getting to know was a turing point for me, cuz you gave me the hope that we, as humans, are capable of achieving anything. Working with you and Buck Reed, along with Sheri Sharman, have changed our lives forvever. When we heard of your trip to Heaven, we knew it was to help God with His work. Sandy and I are eternally grateful for the impact you had, and continue to have on us, smiling down on us from above. You are our favorite Blueberry!!!!! So many memories of you.
See you soon, but not too soon!
Padraic and Sandy Brown
Kristin,
2009 is here. The year of kristinskidz.org. What is going to happen will be amazing. I am glad that you are with us to oversee this operation. We will seek your guidance and will build in your honor. Thank you for always being there for Corinda and I. You were a true friend and I think about you daily. You may have left us physically, but you will always remain in our hearts. We love you!
Nick
Kristin,
2008 ended on a vary sad note with your passing. The New Year of 2009 will bring so mach happiness to many around the world in your honor. You have left behind a legacy that will continue to carry out your dreams. I am very grateful to be a part of Kristin’s Kidz and look forward to serving your dream and that of your organization. I miss you and I am sorry that I missed out on seeing you the last year. It is truly my loss.
You know that is such the beautiy of the spirit that you are. You touched so many people and even if we did not see you on regualr basis your jest for life was instilled in us. But I know that you are only a breath away and as long as I am here in this place and time I will help carry on the torch of your dreams.
To Your Life’s Celebration!
Tracy
Happy New Year Kristin…
I can only imagine how long your New Year’s Goal List is and how many Blue Cards you have up in Heaven. I know you are proud of all the people that are honoring you with their selfless love and energy to help with Kristin’s Kidz and MVP. I have never felt more motivated “to be in service” as I am now.. all in your name. We have so many projects in the works and I know that you will overseeing them all with your magic touch!!! I feel honored to have been able to share you at the top of your mountain.. it was a special feeling being closer to you and God. I look forward to the day that we are all back together again. Till then we have A LOT of work to do to celebrate YOUR life. You will be remembered for your love of life and generous heart…Thanks for all the signs you give us.. it’s really nice to feel that you’re still with us :)Right now in Carlsbad…is another sign…at 4:45PM the most BEAUTIFUL sunset..it must be you again KK.

Just an update Kristin…it is only the 7th. of January…but some exciting things are happening with Kristin’s Kidz. What a great day today was, searching and lining things up that will help so many people in your honor.
Stayed tuned….it only gets better.
Tracy
There are no words to express how deeply Kristin’s loss is felt. She was always an eternal optimist and even though she and I had lost contact for a while, I never doubted her ambition and passion for life would make her a success. Kristin will be missed by everyone who knew her and I wish I would have been able to reconnect and bring her to visit me in San Diego. She loved it here… Rest in Peace dearest Kristin… you’re with your dad now.
Love,
Michelle
Just had to stop by and say hi. You have no idea how much I miss you. I think about you all the time. Others may forget, but I never will! I look forward to the day that we get to laugh together again.
Hey Kristin,
Wanted you to know that Easter was beautiful here and we got almost a foot of new snow! I wanted to write you because you would have loved the sky with all the snow and the mountains. MVP is really making a big difference in so many peoples business and you will be forever missed! You are such a holiday person I just had to write and say hi to you on this special day. I look forward to the day I will be able to give you a big hug and be with my best friend forever!! Until then be good and know that you are missed by so many people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buck “34″
I was walking up my driveway from baseball practice today and noticed the tulips coming up in my neighbors’ yard. I smiled because i remembered the time you made me take you to the tulip farm in MI near my school. I had lived a few miles away from the farm for four years without seeing how beautiful the ENDLESS rows of tulips really were. I never would have gone if you hadn’t been persistant and convinced me. I remember being thankful to you for showing me how pretty the farm really was! Thanks for the smile today! We will show the world how endless your love is! Miss you!
Andy
Hey Kristin it was in May of last year we began to have a lot of conversations more frequently about life, working more closely together and most importantly spiritual things. Neither of us would have guessed how things can change and how powerful the Lord can be even in circumstances we wish could have been different. Even though you are in Heaven, I sense your presence so strongly in our heart. It has been amazing to watch Kristin’s Kidz evolve and how much of an inspiration you have become to people who never had the pleasure of meeting you face to face. Instead they are meeting you heart to heart which in the long run is even more meaningful.
I sent Buck & Sheri the song “Give Me Your Eyes” by Brandon Heath which reflects Kristin’s Kidz outreach and a wake-up call to those so blind to what is going on down here. In the video clip I could have sworn we saw your reflection in the airport scene, however I know I sense your presence in the challenge to do more for others.
Thank you for your inspiration and I imagine your first Easter Celebration in the Kingdom of God had to be the ultimate! “Worthy is the Lamb” sung by you and the other Saints > I’m getting chills and misty imagining the moment. Keep in touch with me.
Hey KK,
It is May 4th and we are about to do one of the last snowmobile rides of the year and of course we are dedicating it to you. It snowed about 6 inches and the sun is coming out. Mikey and I took you last year about this time riding in Utah and that was an EPIC day!! You climbed that big mountain all by yourself and I was very proud of you cause you made it! I do not think you had any idea of how many people you really had impacted while you were here and I hope that you know we will make sure everyone knows your story!! JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!
Buck “34″
Just stopping by to say HEY GIRL!
I am sure you saw the video from the last LA training, KristinsKidz is going to change lives around the world.
Kristin, your legacy will live forever!
*smile*
Hey Kristin!!
We just got done with almost 2000 people in Orlando and of course this entire area is your backyard so I had to write you! MVP is going to be so big and I know you are watching what we are doing with KRISTIN’S KIDZ in your honor! Just know that everything you wanted done will be done and that I miss you all the time!! You will have a legacy second to none Kristin!! Can’t wait to see you again and thank you for ALWAYS being there!!!
Buck “34″

Your next American Idol
Hi Kristin today is the big 40 day and just know that I miss you being here with me!! You always made things more fun and I loved how much you loved people and would always do anything to help someone!! You are missed by me every day and just know that I will live a life that is so awesome that it will be big enough for the both of us until we are together again!!
Buck “34″
Alright Kristin. One last rodeo in your honor. Buck is running. The team is running and we are going to be impacting a lot of lives around the world. Know we miss you and wish more than anything that you were here with us.
You’d be proud. All of us our working together again. We sorta made a short cut of things, but I know you’d just say.. Oh well, whatcha gonna do. That’s your favorite line Or “There you go”. You would of been having fun in Utah. You would of been having fun because so many people, so many new faces.
Miss ya!
Kristin - We are so excited to be back with Buck & Sheri with a new enthusiasm and drive to take this to the limit! This time when we hook our horses to the wagon we’re confident the wheels won’t spin off no matter how fast we run.
You had to have helped orchestrate this entire situation and from your vantage point; you can continue to watch over us and keep us on track. I’m sure the Lord has shown you why things have taken longer than we expected and demonstrated how He seperates the wheat from the chaff. Now we are building loyal, dedicated and hard working Teams.
Your Spirit lives on and yes we can feel your energy, hear your infectious laugh and sense your presence. Our success is your success as well. Thank the Lord for all of us down here attempting to make this world a better place.
Love Always!
Hey Kristin,
Almost have blue diamond wrapped up in 3 weeks in Mona Vie and it is so weird running like this without my girl!! LOL.. I know you are here in another way hon and just know that you are missed more than words can describe! I never knew it was possible to miss someone as much as I miss you and Kristin Kidz is really taking off! We have helped so many kidz already in a very short period of time and you should be so proud! I just wish you were here right this second as we are closing up blue diamond because this was your thing! This was the time you enjoyed the most and I hope you know that I will make sure your memory is never forgotten! Everyone misses you in MVP all the time and have worked so hard to make all this good we are doing happen! Many many people will forget you and go on with life as people put it but the MVP crew will make sure good things happen in your name my dear! Meet you at the front gate Kristin!!
Buck “34″
Hey Kristin,
Wanted to say hello and let you know that running in Mona Vie like this without you is not the same that is for sure.. LOL..LOL..LOL.. I can’t believe that it is almost a year already and just know that my kids talk about you often and thank you for being so good to them you really influenced them in so many ways!! MVP will never be the same without you but we are doing a lot of good things for people who are really hurting right now KK. We have helped a lot of kidz and families in your name and I must say that part makes me feel really really good. A family we helped after this last training was so happy and I just know you got to see the smiles on their faces and it made it all worth it! Just wanted to drop a line and let you know that your memory will live on a very long time.. TRUE FRIENDSHIP is something that you understood and I feel so bad that you betrayed by people that you really cared about! You were right and I was wrong and I know that you know what I mean by that! See you at the front gate…. Buck “34″
I am so heart broken at the moment. It will be a year this week and it isn’t right. The late night phone calls I can’t believe how much I miss them. We would always find something to laugh about. Its’ been crazy since you’ve been gone and I will leave it at that. You see what’s happening. Everyone is doing fine. Muzafer had a baby, as well as Tiffany, and Eric regrouped with us from Arizonia. Btw, I finally got stuck there for a night and I will NEVER go back. I’m sure you had a say in that. 113 degrees. I wasn’t happy. My whitney rag couldn’t keep up with all the sweat. Anyhow, All in all things are good. We took in huge clothes donations last week in LA, Tracy organized that. Buck closed with you, and as always, I loose it. I did an Oprah. Haven’t mastered it yet like Buck. I mean, he just about lost it and when he goes the flood gates open with me and you know how hard it is to put this face back together. It takes an army. Well baby girl, I hope that made you laugh. You are missed so much!
Hi Kristin;
and your smile..and your hugs…miss everythng about you.
Today has been one year since I got that dreadful call from Buck saying that you were gone. Since that moment things have never been the same without you. You always had the ability to make things magical and fun. I can’t tell you how many times we say that you are MISSED..oh yeah..you know..because we can feel you at all the trainings. I know when we are setting up the room that you are saying…I bet you miss me now..lol!!!! And the truth be said you are missed beyond words. I pray that your family, and all your friends and especially Buck find peace with you being the Rock Star and LEAD Angel in Heaven. I just got
chills..and heard your laugh…I miss that the most
I love you,
Sheri
I can’t believe it’s been a year today. You are missed!!
Hey girl - today marks a day that you lit up Heaven and passed on from your life here. Know that your best friends have made your memory live on 110% and will forever and ever changing lives around the world. You are missed each and everyday, but you and the love and happiness you shared with those who crossed your path will never be forgotten. I hope that over the past year people took a good look at their lives and lived each day to it’s fullest as you did. Love ya!
Dear Kristin,
It has been one year to the day and I have put off writing this to you all day today because the sadness is beyond words for me I do not even know where to start writing.. I have no idea WHY YOU and I have missed you with every breath that I have taken since you went to Heaven. SO many people keep saying time will heal the hurt but I know that is not true for me! You were just far enough away from me that I could not save you from the water and I have prayed every day that you felt nothing.. Every time I look at my Superman tattoo I think of YOU for believing in me and MVP with your entire being and for not being FAKE and a BACK STABBER and just being a real person who loved everyone. The only thing I keep thinking is about how much you loved life and always made people better..I have never in my life met someone as sweet and caring as you! I hope you know that in teasing you all the time that I loved you and would do anything to get you back.. Thank you for being my best friend and know that I am watching Step Brothers right now with Mikey for YOU!! LOL.. We must have seen this movie 8 times taking people at the trainings to see it and just laughing out loud!! I can hear your laughing right this second! Kristin Kidz has done some amazing things this year and have some really big projects coming down the pipe line right now and I know you are watching from above. People are coming out to help us and it is all in your name KK!! We have taken MVP to a whole new level and are bringing in real professional people with the system and of course setting records, just not the same without you and I know that you know this!! LOL.. I have learned that people are fickle Kristin and most people who pass are forgotten but I can promise you that YOU will never be FORGOTTEN as long as I am breathing. I am sorry that people are doing exactly what you would not want done and that you were betrayed by people you loved. I wish that you had not had that happen before you left us Kristin and I am so sorry!! I will do everything in my power to make your legacy live on even beyond me and you will be the first person I look for at the GATE!! I will always miss you and you will always be in my heart if I had a time machine I would come back and get you.. I see your number “28″ everywhere I go and it always makes me smile… Thank you for being my BEST FRIEND and know that you are missed all the time.. Love always.. Buck “34″
It’s amazing how fast a year can go by and how much you can miss someone special in your life. At the same time, you are very present in everything we do and we continue to listen to you in the leadings of our heart. I know you know how much we wanted to see Buck & Sheri back together again and be able to help them in their quest to assist the faithful in reaching the Promised Land. You continue to be a driving force in MVPMV and I sense your joy in the achievements taking place.
I am still continuing the task you have placed on my heart regarding reconciling people you care deeply about. Lots of broken hearts as you know and I need your help in this. Please ask the Lord to lift the veil; provide eyes to see and ears to hear. When people are wounded it takes time to heal, but the healing process can’t take place if we keep picking at it. Forgiveness is like a healing balm and although the scar of remembrance may always be there, it no longer hurts.
As I write this I can almost feel your arm around me with that Kristin smile beaming. I am so grateful we became closer friends before you went home to be with the Lord. Thanks for the encouragement and being who you are. I love your Angel Wings!
I miss our friendship…I miss you!!
Your B-day is coming… It’s your 40th. You would always call me..
Wasn’t this the year you were going to get your white on white range rover with the powder blue seats and the head rests would have your initials KK. I even looked up a vendor that could do it for you. We had it all planned out. Then you were going to get that condo that over looked lake Michigan and you were saying that would MVP retreats headquarters…LOL.. I said, HOW? After a year of all the paperwork and filing where would you sleep? And where would you have meetings? We just laughed. I think that is when you saw why we have an office here in Mpls and that MVP would be much bigger than a 2 bedroom condo.. LOL. I always told you you had a powerful mind. You created One Big Team and you made things happen. You created MVP and you made things happen. Sagittarius have that gift and I always told you that. Well, we need your thoughts of wisdom and compassion now for 2010, which I’m excited about. Anyhow baby girl, you are missed. You better be having a flirtini… love ya!

Hey Kristin… wanted to stop by and wish you a happy birthday. Corrinda and I miss you!
Happy Birthday!!
I want you know that I miss you and think about you so often. I am wishing you a very Happy Birthday!
We(Kristin’s Kidz)are helping the homeless during the cold months. We have a small gift of a warm hat, gloves and a pair of sock that we tied with Christmas ribbon and have a small card attached with the Kristin’s Kidz logo. The gift is available with a $5.00 donation at our trainings, home tasting parties at Sheri’s and will also be available Monday the 14th at a Holiday Womens Empowerment Night at Sheri’s that will be dedicated to you. We will have your banner, the one with you standing on the mountain top.
I have personally knitted 12 of the hats (with many more to come)and it gives me great comfort to know that they are helping someone stay warm and that they are being given in your honor.
We will continue to help as many people as we can and I am confident that 2010 will bring even bigger and better events and that Kristin’s Kidz will make an impact on this world we live in and that through Kristin’s Kidz we will help others find their joy in life….a lesson you have taught us all so well.
Happy Birthday
Tracy
Well Kristin
I hope you had your best Birthday yet! Hit ing the big 40!! I am sure you made everyone up there stop what they were doing and celebrate YOU!! LOL.. I hope you enjoyed the video up on top of the stratosphere just for you.. I think of all the good times we all had up there with different people and I can hear you laughing riding that super shot ride! I will be forever grateful to the 6 months we all had out in Utah with you riding sleds almost everyday and getting all those pictures of you in the mountains! There is no one like you on this entire planet KK and I hope you know that being up there! NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your LOYALTY will never be forgotten by me and I am sorry that you did get to see the TRUTH of people that we thought were our best friends who showed their true colors when it got tested! You called it after the day we wasted at the beach and the ice cream store and I didn’t listen to you, my bad! You were right on and I was wrong!! Amazing that a howdy doodey owner could buy their friendship after all those years huh? Wonder how that company is doing anyway?!?? LOL LOL LOL… God I miss you KK you just made everything better and more fun and you were never fickle like so many people! I must say that I am very lucky to have had YOU as my best friend KK and if I could change one thing in my life it would be to have spent the time with YOU and not wasted it on the best friend money could buy! LOL.. I am thinking of how many times we laughed about that one! I know you are in a better place and I know you are a big part in all the things that are going so wonderful for Sheri and I right now. MVP is going to only get bigger and better and you will never be forgot en I promise! Everytime I look at my SM tat oo I think of YOU and your belief in what MVP would do!
Kristin you had the most beautiful heart and soul and I am so thankful that I had you the time that I did! They say time will heal all wounds but you are someone that time can never heal or make forget! When people pass most people forget them and like I said most people are fickle and for sale as we both know! The TRUTH is that you were neither and the only thing that makes any sense in why you were taken from us so early is that they wanted the best angel up there so they came and got you! You are in my thoughts ALWAYS and in my HEART FOREVER and KRISTIN’S KIDZ is going to help 1000’s of kids all over the world in your name and honor! I love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to see you again! Meet you at the front gate!!

Hats Distributed On The Streets
Of San Diego!
On Tuesday Dec. 22 I had the pleasure of accompanying photojournalist Susan Madden Lankford, her most recent book(Nov. 2009)is titled downtown USA, a personal journey with the Homeless. Pictures and life stories of the homeless in San Diego. You can see her work at http://www.humaneexposures.com.
Susan, her husband Rob, daughters Polly and Samantha and myself hit the streets to pass out the 50 hat gifts that included a pair of warm gloves and socks donated by Kristin’s Kids and some new warm blankets that had been donated to the Humane Exposures (Susan’s Organization)
It was an adventure and very rewarding to be able to hand out personally these gifts to people in need. Our first stop was to a little homeless man who Susan has known for years is is name is Phil. He was sleeping behind his cart full of all this belongings including a plastic milk crate that he has turned into a home for his pigeon, Daddy. Susan got out of the car and went to let him know we were there and that I had something special for him. I gave him a hand knitted hat that I had made that had a special card attached and a pair of gloves and socks. He was very grateful and and thanked and me saying, “God bless you.”
From there went went on driving around the downtown area looking for small pods of homeless people starting to set up their sleeping spots for the night with whatever blankets and belongings they had to brave the San Diego cold. It has been a cold windy day with bouts of rain making many seek shelter under some of the city street bridges. We pulled over to the street side to hand out some hats and blankets and I saw a little old man ….he must have been in his late seventy’s pulling a suit case he had no hat or gloves. I asked if he would like a warm hat and he smiled and said yes. I gave him and black and grey striped beanie hat with black gloves. He said, “Thank you honey and God bless you”. We went around the corner and handed out about five more hat gifts and blankets. As we returned back to the car…the little old man was passing us now only this time he had a hat and gloves on and he smiled , bowed his head and gave us a wave.
We came across on guy who had on only a shirt…his boxer shorts and socks. He had no blankets or coat. He said someone had stolen all his belongings and what he had on was all that he had. Susan gave him several blankets and told him to wrap one around his legs. He just kept thanking us for being there for him and he was so grateful for his new blankets and hat gift.
About 20 people got the hats I had hand knitted and Susan and Polly would tell people that I had made them….they all were grateful wished me a Merry Christmas. One lady I handed a hat that was knitted from bright purple and pink yarn and she just squealed with delight that she has something so pretty.
I could go on and describe almost each experience…especially the one where we came into a hot spot of homeless and had people almost rushing us for the blankets and hats.
It was an adventure and a very humbling experience. We plan to go out again in the next week with another 50 hats from Kristin’s Kidz and another 60 some blankets.
We would like to thank everyone who recently contributed to Kristin’s Kidz project for the homeless at our Los Angeles Training in Dec and at Sheri Sharman’s Holiday Women’s Empowerment night.
We look forward to being able to do many others things in Kristin Kleizo’s honor and memory in 2010.
Tracy
Hey Kristin,
I felt that I had to write you today and let you know that you are missed beyond words! Every time I see a beautiful sunset or a beautiful snowy day I think of you! It seems that you had such a huge impact on so many people and I know you are watching all the exciting things that we are doing with MVP and Kristin’s Kidz! Love you always!!!! Buck 34

Just the other day I was reading a card Kristin sent to me. It wasn’t for any particular occasion, just hello, I’m thinking of you. That was Kristin. I miss her. Love you Kristin!
Had a dream about you last night. Well, I fell asleep watching the Golden Girls. That probably had something to do with it. The show you couldn’t believe I watched. I remember when you were at my house and you swore you won’t laugh.. First episode you couldn’t stop laughing. Then we started laughing at each other because you couldn’t catch your breath and I couldn’t mine. Well, anyhow, the dream was you walking up these stairs and I was showing you around my new home. It was the house I was sending you pictures of over 2 years ago. You were so happy. This warm tingly feeling came over me and I woke up and had to walk around to shake it off. It was so real.
I wish you were here though. It would make that moment more special when it finally happens.. well, miss ya! I’m going to give your a brother a call and see how he and the family is doing. It will probably start out rough but I’m thinking about him too and your mom.
Talk soon
I’m surprised no one wrote on here about your favorite event that was done this past weekend, Champions. Heard you were talked about a lot. Well, I’m excited about this year. Thinking about all the fun things that will happen. Wish you were here, but I know your smiling down on us.. Love ya!
Well Kristin Champions was the best event in the last 15 years that I have been to… Since that event we have had 3 golds break and 1 silver!! It was very hard doing that event with you not being there!! I found myself actually looking for you at times.. I have realized that a day will not go by that I do not think about you in some way shape or form.. So many things remind me of you and I am looking forward to the first day that I am not sad about your passing.. People are fickle is all I can say and I miss you being here because you were always 100% with me all the time.. MVP is impacting so many lives in so many ways.. There were 3 kids who were suicidal at Champions who are here today because they attended that event.. It just goes to show you that you never know the good things that can come from an event.. Just know that I miss you all the time and that you will always be in my heart!!! Kristin Kidz is going to do some amazing things in your name and honor… I know I will see you again my dear… I will find you at the front gate! Love Buck 34
Hey there Kristin I know you know why I am writing you and I want you to know that I have learned more about people from you than anywhere else.. SO many exciting things starting to happen and I am really really happy about all that we are going to be able to do with Kristin’s Kidz.. I know that you are happy to have both your mom and dad with you and hope that you know that you are missed every day by so many people.. I can’t tell you how many people call me or text me and say that something reminds them of you.. We joke all the time about all the great times that we had together and I am so sorry about all the fickle people KK.. People tell you one thing but I have learned to watch what they do and not what they say and just know I will keep every promise I ever made you.. I always miss you and I will meet you by the front gate…. Buck 34
Hi Kristin,
Spoke with your bro.. He’s getting married. I called to talk with him after I heard about Maggie. Now she is with you. Things are going good here in Mpls. God has been good and I’m thankful my family can lean on me when they need support. I think you got to meet my nephews and niece. They were babies when you were here though. Now they are 8 & 9 and my niece is 17 to going on 30. I can’t believe I have a house full of kids. You would laugh at some of the stories. My niece walking around the house with her Louis Vuitton purse. I have no idea why. I guess she think’s she’s going somewhere. Or she thinks my hallway is her runway.. You would laugh. I can imagine myself telling you all this and you not stop laughing. I have learned alot on this journey with out you here. All the things you told me about and I didn’t believe. I know believe. Anyhow, I’m excited. God has kept me strong and loving life.. Well, baby girl… Nick Bello, I can’t wait to see in a few days. you take care.. Love ya~!
Hi Kristin….just want to let you know what we have been doing with Kristin’s Kidz the last couple of months. Last month at Millionaire workshop we collected a huge amount of donations on behalf of Kristin’s Kidz and presented them to Solutions for Change a great organization here in the Carlsbad area that helps homeless families get back on track.
They were so thrilled to to get everything…especially all the baby things that Sheri donated that her grandson Merric has outgrown. They had just had a new baby born at their shelter and the baby swing was going to a good home!
Our next project is in August and we will be accepting donations on behalf of Kristin’s Kidz at Sheri’s Women’s Empowerment event on the 14th. All the donations will be going to the Bridge of Hope here in San Diego. We have helped them before and they are in such need. They are starting a program in the fall providing food and other items to over 200 elderly people who are barely getting by. I will personally be involved with this project helping sort and deliver the food twice a month.
I know you will get a hoot out of this….I am even going to do mini makeovers in their apartments! Many of them have next to no furniture or household items…so through Kristin’s Kidz I hope to gather items that can be used to help not only the elderly but the families with small children too!
We are having the founder of the Bridge of Hope on our Women’Empowerment Conference call on Monday and will promote the August donation drive.
I will keep you posted on our August donation drive.

Hi baby girl,
Wanted to stop by and give you a shout out.
Love ya!
in 7 days, it will be 3 years since you’ve been gone. 3 whole crazy years. I go through fits of anger and am not happy with how things having turned out. But hey, what is great is that you are watching. Your bro is getting married. I’m happy about that. All is good here in Minneapolis. Artem and I are doing what we’ve always done and that’s take over the Twin Cities. We bounced back pretty well, which I believe it due to keeping positive energy flowing. I slip at times, but it’s all good.
Take care. I’ll visit back in September 09th.
