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.
There will be two services for Simon.
Simon will be buried in his beloved hometown. Service and graveside will be Saturday, August 9th at 10am
Atlanta First Baptist Church 306 Baker St Atlanta, TX 75551

There will be a Celebration of Life in Whittier, CA on Sunday, August 17th at 3pm.
Plymouth Church 12058 Beverly Blvd Whittier, CA 90601

Thank-you
Kristy if you could email me your mailing address I would greatly appreciate. God bless. Jane
Perhaps you could post for us all?
Healthy to gone in 46 days….
In the stillness this evening, covering you in prayer…
I will be there on Saturday. I suspect several Scouting friends will be in attendance.
Thank you for letting us all know. I am sad that i will be out of town when you are having the Whittier service. My heart and mind prayers have been with you all. I am sad he is gone but happy he is hanging out with my Step dad and Grandpa and all our family that is home with Jesus. =) Blessing to you and strength. God Speed!
Dear Kristy,
Wow. I have been following your posts since your brother’s wedding. I feel so honored to have had a chance to peek into your life during this time. And I thank God for your willingness to share this journey in your very honest and upfront and Kristy-fun way. Every year I savor your family Christmas letter and have shared these with Anthony, as I have your posts. You are obviously a gifted writer. You remind me of the movie, Steel Magnolias.. the gutsy role that Sally Field often plays. God is with you in such a beautiful and powerful way Kristy. Please know that I would be at the “Celebration of Life” on August 17th if we were in town. At that very same day and hour I will be celebrating the wedding a friend getting married like me, at a late age. I love you Kristy and your parents are a treasure to me. They brought you up well. Jill
