"Thank you for being part of Carolina Breast Friends. Without you – many sisters journey would be lonely. You are each extraordinary & I am a better person because of your friendships. I’ll close by sharing one of my favorite quotes ~ 'I walk, I fall down, in the meantime I keep dancing.' "

All my love, Kristy 2006

To all of Kristy's army here on Earth!

Kristy has begun her new life in Heaven with her perfect body to match her perfect soul. She left us Oct. 15, 2006. She left very peacefully and quietly, something she normally wasn't!! I am pleased to say she no longer has to battle H.I. (Hooter Infiltration) or any of its side effects. She can now smile like we all know without any hidden pain, fear or anger.

Kristy truly blessed everyone she contacted with her infectious positive attitude and love! Her manager said it best when he told me, "There are people that impress you, others that touch you, but few ever truly impact you. Kristy was one of those people!" I can say I experienced that impact over 12 years ago and have been in awe ever since while I watched her impact so many others. This is a sad day for us who are left to continue the Good Fight. It is also a joyous day because we know Kristy is up there making God smile and laugh along with all the angels and those that went before her. Mourn Kristy's passing, cry as you wish, but know that at her Celebration of Life service, it will be a CELEBRATION! Kristy wants it that way. That's why she only wants balloons and no flowers. She told me flowers were for funerals, not celebrations.

I am very fortunate to have been with Kristy as a husband for the last 11+ years. We were blessed with many things, but most of all true love. There will never be another women quite like Kristy and for that reason we must continue her legacy and make Carolina Breast Friends the best group EVER. I want to thank all of you for your never ending support, love and prayers. Kristy and I were able to keep our heads high and smile because of you and God.

I will end this by saying all of you continue to keep me strong and help me put one foot in front of the other. Kristy and I were truly blessed by her diagnosis of H.I. She shared with me just a couple of months prior to her diagnosis that she was searching for her "life's mission".... then H.I. hit. Soon afterwards it became apparent what her mission on Earth was, to impact and help as many people as possible who were going through their own H.I. diagnosis. Because of that we now have a family that has grown exponentially and reaches the far ends of the Earth. Because of H.I., I have been blessed with more love than I could ever imagine. Kristy took this dreaded disease and made something God could call beautiful.

It is as a butterfly's life... you began as a caterpillar, somewhat ugly and bound to the earth, then you go through a metamorphosis and become a beautiful and elegant butterfly that knows no boundaries.

All my love and thanks,
Chris Ebel
Kristy’s loving, supportive husband for 11+ years
