Kristen Noelle Rothe was born on January 18th, 1982. She left us far too soon on July 30th, 2012. Kristen lived life by no one's rules but her own. She met Gary, decided they were going to get married, and they were married on March 1st, 2003. She had two beautiful children, Chloe and Jenna,and an amazing stepdaughter, Megan, that were the joy in her life. She began a great career with Hines, then through sheer will, graduated college in December 2011. She was loved by many, and will be missed by us all for eternity.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints of snow
I am the sunlight of ripening grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
I am an Indian summer day
The hazy warmth that drifts away
When you awaken in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
