 Topic: Sad news -passing of Kristian Strauss
Posted: 13 Mar 2012 at 7:07pm |
Dear TNBC friends I just got back from being away for a few
days to attend a family wedding so not sure if this very sad news has
been shared yet on our forum. Kristian (Kristi) Strauss was a
member of our forum and someone I had the privilege to meet in person
just over one year ago. Kristi was a lovely vibrant woman, mother and
wife who passed away on Sunday from metastasized metaplastic TNBC.
Meeting Kristi in person - someone with the same type of BC and also
went to the same clinic in Toronto - was very inspiring for me. Tracy in Toronto Kristi's Memorial Passed

Cherished daughter-in-law of Beth and Al Strauss. Sadly missed by sister-in-laws Kim (Kurt)
Baum and Marybeth (Troy) Bellehumeur and her nieces and nephews. Kristi’s
strength, courage and hope were an inspiration to all who knew her and she will
be dearly missed. Friends

I am so sorry. No words, just tears for another life cut short
and a family left without their beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister.
Thank you Traci for notifying us. You mentioned that Kristi was a member of this forum. Do you know her screen name?

Dear Donna,
Kristi's stage name is "Kristian".... She posted a few times in Jan.
2011. She fought this monster for almost 4 years and it sounds as
though she had at least 2 recurrences. In one post she commented about
meeting Tracy at the Support Meeting.
My heart just breaks for these young families losing their mother's, wives, daughter's and on and on.
God Bless,
Lillie
