There are no words to ease the pain, because death leaves a heartache no one can heal. But, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Kris and Ruger for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT. She immediately struck me as a person who had her act together. She was bright, articulate, was having a good time and seemed so very competent. What I clearly remember about her was that she and I talked about her relationship with her husband, and her daughter. She loved them both very much and it was obvious to me that she was a very happy, complete person. I envied her. I am so very sorry for her husband, her daughter, her family, and the entire community she served. It was my pleasure to have known her and I am proud she represented the USFS so well in everything that she did. My thoughts and prayers are with her family-

We can never thank Kris for the many years of service and the sacrifices she made for the "outfit." She always gave her all and was a true professional. God bless her family.

I never knew Officer Fairbanks but as the wife of a fellow LEO with the Forest Service my heart goes out to her family. Others don't understand that every time one of our officer's leave their homes the potential danger that they face. I commend Officer Fairbanks for her service. She made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our safety. My thoughts and continued prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
