Obituary for Kristen Marie Galvan

Kristen Marie Galvan, forever 15, was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and precious child whose life touched the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Kristen was a beautiful soul with a life and future that should have stretched far beyond her fifteen years. She will forever be remembered not by the circumstances surrounding her death, but by who she was—a daughter deeply loved, a sister, a granddaughter, and a child who mattered.

Kristen is survived by her loving mother, Robyn Cory, and Charles Cory; her three little brothers; her stepsisters; her aunts and uncles; her grandmother; and many extended family members and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers, Grumpy, grandfather, grandmother, and great-uncles, who now welcome her into Heaven with open arms.

Though Kristen’s time on earth was far too short, her memory will never be. Her family will continue to speak her name, celebrate her life, and carry her legacy forward. She will forever be Forever 15—forever loved, forever missed, and forever a daughter whose place in this world can never be replaced.

Until we meet again in Heaven, Kristen.

You are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and remembered forever.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

— Matthew 19:14

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

— Revelation 21:4

For Kristen

You left this world far too soon,

But Heaven gained a precious moon.

Your smile, your love, your gentle soul,

Are memories time cannot erase or control.

Forever fifteen, forever our girl,

A beautiful light in a broken world.

Until we meet where angels fly,

We’ll say your name beneath the sky.

Rest peacefully, Kristen.

Mom will love you forever.
