Family in 2014 Family in 2024

About Me

I’m Kristy. I’m a spirited Californian. I was married to Simon, a charming Texan, for 10 years. That’s where the Golden Lone Star name originated. We lived a pretty sweet life together and made three amazing kids.

Simon was a no-nonsense, resourceful, fiercely loyal, and righteous man.

He was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer in June 2014 and died 46 days later. He was 34 years old.

This is a blog about him, about us, and about life after someone you love dies.

Simon wanted a story that would transcend his death. He wanted the world to know Jesus. He wanted his family to find happiness.

You can read more about our story here.

Thanks for coming along on the journey.
