Kristi and I worked together at the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. She was my sergeant for a while in the jail in the early 90’s. We had many great conversations and lots of “adventures in babysitting” inmates. She was very intelligent and brought a lot to the department. She certainly will be missed.

I was incredibly honored to have met Mrs. Eastin Williams, she was such a kind heart person and very welcoming. She will be greatly missed by those of us who’s heart she touched. To Shon and the rest of the family, I’m wishing you peace and comfort during this unimaginable time.
