Hey Kristin, remember the double rainbow (double rainbow!!!) picture, and how you love rainbows? Well, I keep seeing them at random. Your mom told me about how she asked for a sign that you're OK, and how she saw one on the skyway bridge almost immediately after. Suffice it to say that rainbows have a whole new meaning for us. I miss you so much, but these little reminders help to remind us that you're in a place where anxiety doesn't exist. Also, Mochi has been so good, FYI. We're going to have a small celebration-of-life gathering for the Skyland people who knew and adored you. Stop by if you can. I love you, and take care, gorgeous.

Kristen you are loved -From the doggy fashion shows to the great couch burning weekend at the river - you won't be forgotten Every Camp trip or River House adventure you will never be forgotten. Fly free and find your peace.To Jason and all the family know what a great person we loved and will miss forever. Love you all so much! Steve & Patty Bowen

Kristin, I knew you for a short time. I always enjoyed the time we spent together. I hope you are peaceful and happy now with Chopper. We love you.

Sending my sincerest condolences to the Carricarte family on the news of Kristin’s passing. Words can be so inadequate at such times as nothing can ease the pain and grief you must all be going through. I too am overwhelmed with emotions these past few days and the sadness has left me with a very heavy heart. It has been many years since Kristin and I last connected but the memories of our teens and twenties will stay with me always. She is a beautiful soul and I know so many will miss her tremendously. I hope with time Kristin’s family and loved ones will find peace. I am thinking of you all and sending my love. With deepest sympathy, Liz

My most sincerest condolences to Kristin’s family, friends and all that knew her. ❤️

Kristin I don’t know where to start. I have so many special memories of you. From the first time I met you and how happy I was you came into my sons life. Funny you took your piercing jewelry out and covered your tattoos Makes me laugh when I think about it. It was one of our crazy get togethers in the back yard. How you loved singing karaoke with the girls. Boys had their own Songs. What a supportive wife you were when Jason was deployed. Always sending care packages. Not just to jason but to all his buddies. You sent them each their own personal Xmas tree and lots of cookies. Christmas, how you loved Christmas. Xmas eve pajamas. How you looked forward to opening and seeing what theme I picked out. I so enjoyed see how happy it made you. Jason was Santa. Sean and Chris the two elves. You and Delaney Mikayla reindeers so fun. Sometimes I think we baked thousands of Xmas cookies. What a marathon that was. The many Halloweens and trick or treating with Mikayla and Haley. You loved them so. You were such an amazing sissy to Mikayla. So many memories from the cruise to the river. I can go on but just know how much you were loved and will be missed. I hope you find peace sweet girl. Give chopper a hug and kiss. Love you. Karen

Hey Gorgeous, I will be eternally grateful to have had you in my life, and to have gotten to know you as well as I did. Your utter brilliance made it easy to connect on an intellectual level; I loved all the facts you would tell me about old empires and eclectic anecdotes about history, space, etc. Always made me smile. You're so damned smart, and I needed that in my life heh. We watched all the Star Trek series together, The Expanse...see I told you they were amazing, heh. I'm going to miss watching those with you, not sure I can without you. You were sweet and selfless too. You always got up before me and made me breakfast and lunch. I gained weight and grew strong from all of the amazing food (seriously y'all, the pictures never did it justice...just saying). How you loved children, and they loved you. You were the Pied-Piper of Skyland, pretty much, lol. I'd come home to what was effectively a free daycare-slash-YMCA haha. I was tired from work, but I knew you loved those kids, so I allowed it for a while haha. You'd get upset on the rare occasion that I didn't kiss you goodbye in the morning, saying so on text, because 'you could get in a wreck out there, and I'd never see you again'. I'm feeling that right now, just saying babe. Don't get me wrong, not even mad, but you owe me a kiss.. People saw how crazy we were about each other, and they'd always say how happy they were for us. Seriously though, you were always so damn pretty. I remember when I first saw you, when me and Johnny were jamming in the garage; you wearing that white sundress, dancing to what we were playing and cleaning up your garage. A truly free spirit. I told Johnny I had to meet you. I believe I fell for you at first sight! That same day, I was outside the garage and I swore I heard 'you guys sounded great!' in a woman's voice, but I looked over and couldn't see you; in spite of everything you were being shy hehe. Some days later — again, in the garage rocking out — you actually came over! I know I didn't have the guts to go to your place to say hi, I'm so glad you made a move to meet me/us! You were wearing that red getup, all GORGEOUS (!!!), with those earrings. I'd start playing the drums and I couldn't help but drink you in with my eyes...not sure how I managed to play anything lol. When you pretended to be looking at your phone, but got that sly little grin whenever I stole a glance. Ahh, it was magic. Absolute magic. When we went next-door to the demolished house to check it all out, how you walked right by my side. I was trying to play it cool, but damn, I just knew I'd be into you. Then I slipped on an old tire and fell on my butt, lol. Yeah, I looked real cool then huh, lol. The first night we hung out alone together after you invited me to crash at your place, and we just talked for hours. How happy we were. Everything with you was so right, so effortless, so fulfilling. That held true throughout the blissful, albeit way too damn short amount of time we were together. Believe me, given time and some work, I would have put a ring on your finger and been happy to call you my wife. We were simply meant to be, you and I. I believe God blessed our love and relationship, and he wanted me to watch over, comfort, and protect you as much as I possibly could. I also believe he sent you to me to transform me into the man I am today! Kristin, you made me a better man, you really did. You taught me what is really important in life, loving as much as you can while you're here, and working hard to keep that love. I would have gone anywhere and moved mountains, should you wish me to, long as I had you by my side. I just wish I could have done more for you. Don't worry about Mochi and Bell-bells, I'll see to it that they are well taken care of. I'm even letting the dog sleep on the bed (I'm sure you know, but that's so not me, right? lol). He's maybe a little too smart for his own good, too, and we're helping each other through the loss of you. You know he loves you so much, he's a bit lost but he'll be alright, I promise. Bellatrix is mostly OK (cats are hard to read for me), but she freaks out when I have visitors and tends to hide, poor thing. I make sure they both get plenty of loves, though. You are the kindest, smartest, most beautiful woman I have ever had the pleasure of loving and experiencing the day-to-day little things with. You had a light about you; people were just drawn to you (especially children). I don't have to tell you that I am lost right now — life can be so fucked up — but I will always remember you as that beautiful, free-spirit, dancing in the sun. I take solace in knowing that at last, you are at peace. I will love you forever, Kristin, and the memory of you will be enshrined in my heart for as long as I live. I can't wait to see you again, some day. Rest in peace, my beautiful girl.

Words can’t capture how heartbroken and sorry I feel for this tragic loss. While it’s been a long time since I have spoken with Kristin, I have never forgotten the fond memories of hanging with my cousins when we were kids. I have always felt a warm connection with Kristin, and will continue to feel that connection indefinitely. Much love to Keith, Lindsay, Linda, Jim, Uncle Henry, and Aunt Tootsie.

Kristin, I am heartbroken that you had to leave us so soon. I can only hope that you have found peace in a better place. You will be missed but we will all be together again one day. With Love ❤️

Kristin, My heart is broken I wish this was a dream ... We just had a wonderful conversation and how I was gonna come out and visit ... Your in a better place now but you are still needed here . Hanging out with your sister and you were always a favorite of mine . I'll miss you and our late night talks .. I'll even miss your creative ways of putting how this world should be .. R.I.P. Kristin your always an Angel

Jason, Uncle Zack and I will cherish the fond memories of Kristin. She really was a beautiful person inside and out. We are so sorry she left this world so young. We love you. Auntie Kim and Uncle Zack

Linda I am so sorry to hear this. Sending condolences to you and the family. Please when your up to it call me Fly high Kristen Rest in eternal peace

Kristin, I can honestly say that knowing you was an honor. We made some of the craziest yet beautiful memories together. I will always remember our late night trips to Walmart so we could try on funky clothes and people watch. Lol Our craft days, baking for the troops care packages, or simply laying around watching tv was something I looked forward to. I am so glad that we were able to catch up and make sure we knew how much we meant to each other. You will forever remain in my thoughts and heart. I love and miss you girl! Love, Taryn

Kristin, you became like a sister to me. I am so glad we reconnected this last year. My heart is broken that you are gone. You were so loving and such a smart cookie. I was looking forward to having some adventures with you. I am just happy I had this time with you. No matter what happened when we were kids you and I were meant to have each other in our lives. My children were blessed to know your sweet soul and so was I. Rest In Peace sister. I love you.

Kristin I hope you have found your peace. You will always be missed. We love you always! Give Nana, Dubbs and all of our other loved ones a hug for us. Till we meet again love Keith, Cindy, Bri, Vixen and Storm.
