Kristan was always such a happy girl she knew how to brighten any room. She will be missed. Thoughts are with her family through this tragedy.
ReplyDeleteKristan is going to be missed, she had sparkle in her eye that let you know she was full of energy. She was always smiling, cheerful and excited about her future. I will miss visiting with her. My thoughts are with her family at this time and hope that we are able keep Kristan's energy alive.
ReplyDeleteKristan, we were good aquaintences, but i remember driving in the car with you to go pick up our dates for sadies and talking about boys and listening to "lean like a cholo". its seems like it was only yesterday. our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. we all miss you but know you are in a better place. you are such a beautiful person inside and out. RIP
ReplyDeletewe love you
Kristan - - thank you for the wonderful opportunity of knowing you. You brought sunshine with you and made the world a better place. I will never forget Monday lunches, cheer camps, Nationals, and game nights. You are a ray of sunshine that now shines in heaven.
ReplyDeleteLove you forever Ruby
Kristan - I knew you since you were so little. I haven't seen you in a long time, but my parents always had good stories about how great you were doing. Thoughts and prayers with your family, you will be missed, rest in peace.

I can scarce take it in. Kristan. Kristan with her bright and ready smile. Kristan with her warm hug and welcome. Kristan with all the energy and plans, but never to busy to sit and chat for a moment. Kristan who the Lord loves and now has to hold onto and watch closely over unti we can be together once more. My heart aches and my tears fall for our loss of Kristan, and for her families grief and sorrow. She did love the name Ruby. Kristan
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Kristin, I see her bright smile and friendly attitude. Sadly, I wish I would have gotten to know her better. I remember when she came to my birthday party last year. Everyone was having a blast singing karayoke but I remember her waiting in the corner allowing everyone else to have a turn. what a gal! I will always keep her in my memory and hope I'll meet someone as sweet, kind, and beautiful as ruby ;) I wish the Lord's comfort and peace to be with the Lusvardis through their loss :) See you soon Kristan!!!
ReplyDeleteKristan, I think the last time we saw you, you were still the shy one...and about 10 years old. It sounds like you've gotten way way past that, especially after reading the all of the kind words from your family and friends. Even just with the pictures our folks would bring back from Snowmass, it was easy to see what a vibrant and beautiful young woman you had become. We are crushed that you have been taken away from all of us. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. You will be missed...
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe this. We are so deeply sadened about Kristen. I always loved her smile and giggles. She is such a cutie. She will really be missed by the Medeiros family. Our prayers are with the Lusvardis family. Much love to all of you. We are here for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Rick and PJ
Lusvardi Family, I must first say how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Kristan. I was in such shock when I heard the news and know that this time for your family must be very hard. My prayers are with you and I send my love.
ReplyDeleteKristan was a girl I will never forget. I remember back when we where little in Elementary School, the days of american girl dolls and sleepovers, adventures in the elevator and writting letters to eachother for the fun of it. We did curious cubs on hippos and would watch Lauren's gymanstic meets together. -We where there like two little peas in a pod, and I always called her my best friend, there was never a time when I wouldn't want to walk up the street to play.
As the years went by we became our own individuals. We would cheer in middle school and through high school stay friends, always saying hi when we saw each other.
I will always remember her sweet dimple smile, contagous laugh, and big friendly JB's in the hallway. -Kristan was an amazing girl, and will always be remembered in my heart.
I love you Kristan and will miss you.
Love forever - "JB"

During Kristan's last years of high school and then whenever she would come home from college, she would play with our very young daughters over at her home any time they asked. One daughter in particular, our 5 year old, Mia, would get sooooo excited when she would learn Kristan was in town. Her eyes would light up and she would beg and beg to go and visit. Kristan would play all sorts of games with her and let her stay over and play for hours on end. Mia idolized her and we all adored her for how sweet she was to these tiny little girls. She treated them like real friends and loved them and children understand that genuine sincerity. We all cried today. She will be sorely missed but she changed my little girl's world while she was here and we will always love her.

Being with Kristan was a joy! She gave our younger children special names like "Darwin" (darling) and "Bunny" and she did their hair, played games and stories with them, and just loved them. They will always have found memories of this remarkable cousin that knew how to bring joy into their lives.
ReplyDeleteKristan, you are so special!
Love, Aunt Merilee
We are sad to be left without you, Kristan. Thank you for leaving us with so many wonderful memories. You have the ability to light up the room with your smile and vivacious personality. You show warmth towards everyone you meet. You have a gift with children and make everyone feel valued and loved. We want you to feel how much we love you and your family at this time.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was living at your house for a month or so while I finished teaching for the year. You were my stand-in sister. You came with me to get my bridals taken and helped fluff my dress and train between shots. I love you, Kristan! My greatest consolation is that I will see you again.
Love,
Marie
Out thoughts and prayers are with the Lusvardi family.
ReplyDeleteShahab
So sad. She was such a beautiful girl! Bishop Lusvardi was the best bishop!
ReplyDeleteKristan, just know I love and miss you. My heart just hurts for Kristan's family and the pain they must be going through. Kristan's family – I will keep you in my prayers and I know that the Lord does not send trials that his children are not able to handle. The Lord loves you and he will bless you and help you as your hearts heal. Love ya Kris! Love, Steph
ReplyDeleteLusvardi family: I am incredibly sorry for your loss. Kristan was a lovely, lovely girl and will be greatly missed. If you need anything at all, dinners, help running errands, please feel free to let me know. (m.schmitz31@yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you all.
i would first off like to say that kay could brighten any room she walked into in about 2 minutes. SHe was the life of our core class. She wasone of the nicest happiest people i knew. Kay was one of the reasons i didnt quit school. we had some really good times together. You really have no idea how many peoples lives you touched. she was an amazing girl. my prayers as well as all the other girls from school are with you and your family. we will never forget you. i love you

Dear Lusvardi Family, I am still weeping over your news. I am so sorry for you loss. While I didn't know Kristan, her memorial is very inspiring. Your family has had a great impact on my life and I am a better person for it. Please accept my love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteMark and Julianne -- Debra and I heard the news way out here in Virginia, and we are deeply saddened to learn of your loss. We pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort you and your beautiful family. We wish we were there to give you hugs; know that you are in our daily prayers. Love, Madison Sowell
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi family - we are so saddened at the loss of your sweet girl. We didn't know Kristan but Loran was considered one of our kids as she, Amy and Danilee and the other girls went through high school together. I want to give you each a hug. We lost a sweet niece in a similar accident six years ago and while time eases the pain, the hole never goes away. The Lord does comfort, though, and he, more than anyone, knows of your loss. The Nelson family loves you. Kaye, Riley, Amy, Andrea, Jason and Brandy
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi Family, I am saddened to hear of your loss of Kristan. She was a beautiful girl. I have always admired the closeness of your family. From a next door neighbor view point, there was "love at home." When I was outside gardening, I would hear Kristan and Cameron playing together happily and I admired the gentleness I observed in your family interactions. May God bless you at this difficult time. You are a wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Camille Anderson
Dear Lusvardi family: We were sorry to hear of your loss. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you. Simcerely, Anne and Bryan Sudweeks and family
ReplyDeleteKay Kay Kay, so I've been looking at this thing your family has got up for us so we can write on here and tell memories or whatever. It looks like you impacted a lot of peoples lives without even knowing it. I think you've got no idea on how much you'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteDear Lusvardi Family, I sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter! She will be greatly missed at school,I remember one time at school I was in the Color bar and I saw Kay run to the color bar look at me and go I need help with this hair cut, I walked around the color bar and walked to Kay's client and helped her out... She always had a great BIG smile on her face!! The very last time i saw kay was in Mindys office me and a friend where talking to Mindy and Kay walked in to get her "leave" stuff put together so she could go on the trip, Jaymie said something about how Kays shirt was super cute and Kay smiled and said i got it from Ross!! It was really cute how she responded and then further said that she was going On a cruise with her family and how excited she was... I didnt know Kay really well but the experience's that i have had with her at school with my client and her client where really awesome!! She is so sweet and kind!! I hope all is well she will always be watching over your guys..
ReplyDeleteI came to know Kristan when the Lusvardis moved to Vintage. She used to ride her scooter in front of my house almost every sunny day. I remember how kind she was to my son and would often let him tag along with her on his scooter, which he loved. She always had such a sweet, genuine demeanor, and a big, beautiful smile that shined from the inside out. The last time I saw Kristan was at a late movie. I went with my husband in my pajamas with sopping, wet hair, not thinking I would run into anyone I knew. I was a little embarrassed when I saw her, she always looked so cute, she laughed about it with me and gave me a hug after we chatted for a few minutes. I'm sure there are thousands, if not millions of little happy experiences people had with her. She was a blessing, even to those who knew her just a little. It was always nice to see her.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the moments I got to experience Kristan and her smiles and will remember her that way. We pray for peace and comfort for the Lusvardi family.
All our love, Chandra and Patey family...Mike, Alex, Ashlyn, Dillon, and Dex
Dear Lusvardi family, our family's hearts are drawn out to yours at this time. Our prayers are with you. I am comforted to know that you know that Kristan is forever yours and you will be with her again. I am honored to have met her. What a special family you all are! No one forgets you because you are filled with love and serve everyone around you. May the Lord bless you with comfort and peace. Mary Jane Wadley
ReplyDeleteWe feel for your loss and pray that the comfort promised to those that mourn may be fully poured out upon all members of your family.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless

ReplyDeleteLusvardi Family - Since both of us have moved out of the 13th Ward we don't see you very often but know that our love and prayers are sent your way. We knew Stephan and Loran a little better then Kristan, but I can tell from all these wonderful comments that she is as awesome as they are. The Lord will sustain you this week and for many more to come. We know you are strong, but that pain in your heart is so real. We weep with you.
We will be out of town this weekend and are very sorry we will miss the viewing and "farewell". Our thoughts and prayers will be with your entire family.
Thank goodness for the Lord's plan or times like this would be unbearable!
Lots of love and hugs!
The Sperrys
I'm so sorry for your loss, Kristan was a wonderful girl, i remember Chemistry when she wanted to be called Ruby, and she went by Ruby that whole year. We had an experement with fire and she was so excited when the flame changed color with the different chemicals on the rods. She lite up any room she walked into. She will be greatly missed. I will keep you in my prayers
ReplyDeleteI have the pleasure of being Kristan's grandmother. After reading these wonderful comments from friends and relatives, I would like to thank all of you for the kind words you have written to the family. She's a very special girl, and is much loved by those who knew her. She touched so many lives with joy for someone so young, and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We are so thankful that we have had her in our lives to bring us smiles and laughter throughout her life, and it is a huge loss for us, but we will look forward to seeing her again. We know that she is in good hands, and all is well with her. Thank you so much for your support of the family.
ReplyDeleteTill we meet again Kristan Ruby,
With love, Grandma & Grandpa Lusvardi
Dear Lusvardi family,

Dear Lusvardi Family! Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time! Kristan was such a breath of fresh air and always had so much energy, a smile and a hug to share! I'll miss those hugs and smiles and visiting with her! She was a good friend to us and she'll be in our hearts forever. You're a special family and we are truly blessed to have gotten to have Kristen in our lives if only for a short time. Love, Karen and Trevor Hudspeth (I just know she's spreading happiness now...)

Dear Lusvardi Family,
ReplyDeleteOur deepest feelings of grief are with you today as we have learned of the death of Kristan. I only wish we had known yesterday and we would have been able to attend her funeral.
It is wonderful to know that families can be united forever through the sealing power of the temple. I am sure Kristan's Great-Grandma Ruby, Jay Tyler, Grandma Bezzant, my mother, and many others are rejoicing in her arrival.
We love you and our sincerest prayers are with each of you for the comfort you may need in the coming days.
Jeanne, Brad, Christopher and Jenni Mason
DEAR LUSVARDI FAMILY,
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT I FEEL IN MY HEART RIGHT NOW BUT I'LL TRY! I REMEMBER I WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL WITH KRISTAN. SHE ALWAYS HAD THE SWEETEST SPIRIT AND WAS ALWAYS SMILING! I WAS A TRANSFER TO THAT SCHOOL AND SHE MADE ME FEEL SO WELCOME!! I'M STILL TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE FACT THAT SHE IS NO LONGER WITH US. BUT, IF I CAN LEAVE YOU WITH ANY WORDS OF COMFORT IT'S THIS:
THE SAVIOR SAID, "IN THE WORLD YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION: BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD."
CHRIST KNOWS THE PAINS THAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH! HE'S THERE TO BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU COMFORT. I TOO, HAVE LOST SOMEONE, MY BROTHER. RIGHT BEFORE HIS MISSION. BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, HE IS ON HIS MISSION NOW. AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS GOSPEL THAT TEACHES US THAT, AFTER THIS LIFE, OUR FAMILIES WILL STILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER!!! KRISTAN'S MISSION ON THIS EARTH LIFE WAS FULFILLED AND THE LORD HAS SO MUCH MORE FOR HER TO DO!! I TRULY BELIEVE THAT AND KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE!
EVEN THOUGH HER PRESENCE IS ABSENT, HER SPIRIT IS STILL HERE! AND I KNOW AT TIMES YOU'LL ASK YOURSELF, WHY US? I FELT LIKE THAT RIGHT AFTER MY BROTHER PASSED LAST YEAR. BUT REMEMBER, .."IF HE BRINGS YOU TO IT, HE'LL BRING YOU THROUGH IT".. DON'T FORGET OR QUESTION HOW MUCH THE LORD LOVES YOUR FAMILY AND KRISTAN! SHE'S BEING TAKEN CARE OF!
ALL MY LOVE TO YOU LUSVARDI FAMILY!! YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS!!
"AIGA FA'AVAVAU"
FAMILIES ARE FOREVER
Lusvardi Family,
ReplyDeleteI spent some time with Kristan in high school, and have some wonderful memories with her. I will always remember Kristan, and miss her dearly! Nothing but smiles and good times when we hung out. My only wish is that I knew her just a little better. You have nothing but my most sincere condolences, and you will be in my prayers! Kristan, you are loved and missed!
Mark, Julianne and Family,
ReplyDeleteWe send our sincere condolences on the lost of your beautiful daughter. I can't imagine your grief at this time. She will always be with you. We will keep you in our prayers.
Elaine,Greg,Tiffany and Elliott Becker
Julianne, Mark, and family ... I have thought so often about you in the past two months. I am so grateful I had the privilege of meeting Kristan. What a vibrant soul! From the comments and slideshow, it's obvious that she enjoyed mortality to the fullest and was a shining light to everyone she met. How much joy she must be bringing to all of her relatives and ancestors in the Spirit World! And I'm sure she is never far from all of you, praying for you and pulling for you. The hardest part of temporary physical separation from those you love so dearly is not being able to pick up the phone and check in. I pray everyday that my parents will know how much I miss them and love them. Please know that my heart,thoughts, and prayers have been with you all summer and continue to be. You are an amazing family, and like Kristan, such an example to everyone in so many ways. The Lusvardi smile must be famous -- it certainly brings happiness just thinking about it! (Does Julianne ever NOT smile?! She's so beautiful, just like Kristan.) Please know of my love and appreciation for all of you. Knowing your family and interacting with you has enriched my life so very much. Truly, your friendship is a "tender mercy." Much love and warmest thoughts, Nanci Wudel
ReplyDeleteStill think about you everyday Kris, I love and miss you so much!! Thank you for being my best friend! No one will ever replace you!
ReplyDeleteLove forever, Ambi
Hey sis. Do you read your blog in heaven? I miss you.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristan
ReplyDeleteThought of you today in Heaven Hope you are learning allot and celebrating Christmas!
Hey Kristan,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you and your family a lot lately. I even saw your mom at the grocery store the other day but I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I always admired your free spirit and ability to talk to people. I missed your funeral because I was out of the country but I felt your absence from Uganda. We were never that close but the absence of someone that has grown up with you and been right there in your same grade, same school sharing experiences, friends and most of all sharing your unique spirit with the world around you was deeply felt. Your life and death on this earth taught me a lot about love and cherishing the time we have here. I'm sorry we didn't talk much in high school but one of my earliest memories of you was when you were in the 13th ward. Your mom was the achievement day leader and you told us the story of how your mom lost her finger on that swinging door. I remember your cool spiral staircase outside we would run up and down. I also remember you laughing a lot when you were in our ward. I could never understand why, but you would just laugh. Your sister came into our little primary class during one of our lessons and you guys were just joking and laughing at an inside joke or something she said. That was a good example to me, after that I tried to have that type of relationship with my own sister-a close and happy one. It was a good lesson. That memory and example has stuck with me for all these years. A recent memory was when you and Amber were in a make-up seminary class with me. I kept to myself a lot but you didn't mind, you still talked to me and complimented me on occasion and I was impressed and grateful for that. You lived it up here on earth with your easy laughter and personality! I just wanted to take the time to celebrate some of the memories I have of your life with you. Sorry they are so late, wish I could have told you in person that I love you and your family, thanks for your laughter and warmth.
Hey Kris.. I love reading all the comments about you :) I do this quite often actually. It helps me feel closer to you, and reminds me of all the good memories we have together. I wish you were here.. I still think about you everyday. I talk to Jordan about you all the time :) He really would have loved you. We live in your basement, and your parents are so kind to us. I like living here, I feel very safe when Jordan is gone. I watched the Victoria Secret Fashion Show the other night... I couldn't help but think of you and all those years we would lock ourselves in my room and watch it :) Keep watching over me, and if you wouldn't mind, also keep an eye on Jords ha. I love you very much!! Save me a seat in Heaven k? Love forever and for always- Ambi
ReplyDeleteRecently I have been seeing this recent comments on several blogs and was wondering how they were able to do that. I thought it was a plugin or module, but now I did understand the way it is done.
ReplyDeleteI love you Kristan and miss you! I'm thinking of you today!
ReplyDeleteRemembering you every day!
