Going Home
At 3:00 this morning we were called to come to the hospital.
Kristine has started her journey back home to the Lord.
Her lungs started to fill with fluid. It was her choice to not have any tubes or be connected to any machines.
They will be moving her to the Pallative Care floor where she will be more comfortable.
The family has gathered and surrounded her with love and our blessings to start her journey. Prayers for a peaceful journey home to the Lord.

Love you Kristine ! Give our love to David and the kids as well , total bummer !
Kristine, yesterday at school we gathered to think of you and send you our love. We discussed how perhaps we were to learn from your positivity and carry it forward. Know that we all believe that is true and will follow through! Sending you and the family our love and prayers.
Praying the fullness of Jesus over all those connected to Kristine. As a classmate of Kristine’s at FMCA - we formed our tribe with 3 others. Her spirit, the brightness of her smile and the vibrancy of her laugh will be truly missed. Blessings, Kate Simpson

Dear Kristine, May your journey be filled with peace and joy, knowing you will rest in our Savior's loving arms. Matthew 25:23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" Prayers and much love to your family as they let you go "home."

Kristine, I am on my knees for you and all who are with you. It’s so hard to believe I will never be in the presence of your sparkly, beautiful spirit here on earth again but I know that your joy will live on in your children and all who love you. I love you friend.

Lisa, thank you so much for your service to Kristine's friends by thoughtfully keeping us abreast of her journey. Our hearts are broken, especially for Kristine's family. I hope you felt the love, KP, and are now reaping the true reward of a (too short) life well-lived.
We are so very sorry.
Kristine - your amazing energy and beautiful spirit has touched me in many ways. I aspire to have your attitude and energy. Everything I have learned from you and all that you are about I will pass on as best I can in your honor. I continue to pray for you, your family and all that are close to you. You are loved immensely by many. Here’s to a peaceful journey on your terms. Sending lots of love to all!!
This is so heartbreaking. Sending prayers of peace and comfort to you all. Kristine is love and kindness, always radiating warmth. May God be with you all.
Kristine was an angel on earth. She had the ability to touch us all in one way or another, even if it was just her smile. God must really need her help. Heaven is a more special place. May her memory be eternal. Love & prayers.
❤️
Kristine...you are truly an angel now. Words cannot express the sadness we all feel that your beautiful smile and energy are no longer here on this Earth. However, we know you will always be here and live on through your beautiful children. RIP sweet angel 😢🙏💕
It’s so hard to understand when God calls you back early because you did such a good job here on earth he needs you back. You are such a great loss to this community. I have known you since grade school. In school you were the exact same happy, kind, energetic fun loving woman you are today. Everyone’s friend. Never a mean word out of your mouth. You will be missed beyond measure. My heart goes out to the entire Pierce and Brassie families. May you find peace in knowing she has served and was just too good to stay here on earth 😓
Heartbroken to hear this sad news. She was such an amazing bright light. I'm so glad we could connect recently with the Hall of Fame. What a strong, beautiful woman! I have such strong memories of her as a high school student -- so brave and caring. My deep sympathy to all who knew and loved her. Joan Haviland
This news is so incredibly devastating to all that have ever had the honor of knowing amazing Kristine. God bless Kristine and her wonderful family. There are no words that can capture her beauty inside and out.
Heartbroken for this family...praying for all
I can only imagine how hard this is for everyone- and especially Kristine- to accept this as God’s plan. My prayers are with this amazing family, this remarkable village of prayer warriors and our blessed Kristine. God waits to welcome you, dear friend, and we will always be the better for the privilege of having you in our lives!
I will miss you my sweet, wise, generous friend. The kindness that you have extended to me and my family over the years will never be forgotten. I love you and wish you heavenly peace, sweet angel.
My heart goes out to your family. Kristie was a beautiful soul. My prayers to the family.
Our family met the Pierce’s through hockey as many in the Rochester area did and we are all better for knowing her. There never was a time that the beaming smile wouldn’t lighten up a room. Kristine made this world a better place . God is lucky for now she sits at his side. She has served him well and was a good shepherd. The Green’s.
