I just returned from Monterey, CA where Kristen lived.  On Sunday Kyle, her brother; Frank, her father. Robert Moselle, her significant other and I went to the hospital where a group of doctors were there to meet us.  We had a private room together and the doctors spoke in understandable terms so we could clearly understand the process she was in and we got the information to make the decisions we needed to make.  It all started last Wednesday when she had had her big toe amputated, had flu-like symptoms with a high temperature. They found her on the floor in the hospital and thought it was a heart atteck as her heart stopped but she had had a massive stroke to the brain and the only option for her future was 24/7 care in an institution.  So on Tuesday we gathered around her and had the machines turned off and let our precious girl go.  I brushed her hair.  She was wearing a piece of jewlery I had made her.  She was holding a drawing that Roxanne, the niece that she adored, had made for her. Kyle downladed her favorite music that we played,  We gave her a beautiful pink rose and white lily.  We sat around the bed telling "Kristen" stories.  She was ready to go so it didn't take her long.  Off she went on a whole new journey  Thanks for all your prayers and notes of support,  The hospital was the most beautiful places I have ever been and we strongly felt the support of the staff there at all times.  Joan

A moment, one breathes here. The next,  Mystery.
I did not know Kristen. Yet I know Joan as love and deepest compassion. All that is is enough. Eternity.
Blessings and prayers, dear family,

As a Face Book friend and sharer of past history of Kristen I remember her fondly as a colleague and girlfriend to many, an edge music sharer, a politically astute progressive, an engaged participant in the conservation/sustenance movement and most of all a lovely spirit child of the Mystery.

We leave her to the tender arms of the One Who Leads us on our journey into and out of an existence that calls us to be true to ourselves and to others: 

When I'm on my Journey there is no one there but me. When I'm on my journey there is no one there but me...

With prayers of thanksgiving for the sweet occasions to contemplate the gift she was to her family, contemporaries and the world,

Dawn Collins

I just spoke with Joan. She, Frank and Kyle Knutson, along with Robert, Kristen's long-time partner, have decided that, unless there is a miracle tonight, Kristen will be taken off of life support starting tomorrow morning. An MRI yesterday showed a massive stroke to the brain, and her excellent doctors see no way Kristen can survive. 

Joan sang to her this morning: "How could anyone ever tell you, your are anything less than beautiful? How could anyone ever tell you you are less than whole? How could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle, how deeply you're connected to my soul?

In the name of our Divine Mother in God,
the Son in Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Spirit
Amen
