I think of you so often and the joy and excitement you brought to science class with you every day. Your heart was so full of love for your siblings, your parents, grandparents, and friends. Trinity and I were fortunate to share a few adventures, hikes, and laughs with you and to linger in your bright light briefly. Sending love to all of your beautiful family.

I knew Siobhan as a sophmore at CCA. She was three years my junior and a witty, intelligent friend whom I think of surprisingly often. We became friends while working on a play together. A play about a play in a theatrr and a murder. I do not know the name. On a whim I went to see what she was doing and was dismayed to find her gone. That is too soon. I am terribly sorry for your family. Culley.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Angel Siobhan. I miss you more with every passing day....

March 12, 2012

Dear Sio,

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer,
I was taken by a photograph of you.
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more,
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true.
You were turning round to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by suprise.
And at the moment that my camera happened to find you,
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes.


And from a card I wrote to you but must never have sent, when you were home sick during sophomore year at Tabor:
"I really, really miss you, Siobhan. I love Wes, Beth, Erica and Ashley- but I would trade a week's worth of conversations with them all combined to have you here with me for one afternoon, sitting on my ugly pink bedspread for a nice, long talk.
Seriously, Siobhan. No one compares to you."

I love you and miss you every day, my beautiful friend.

I was searching for Siobhan today to reconnect...I attended Tabor and BC with her then we lost contact along the way...I was reminded of her by a song today and thought I'd search for her on Facebook. My heart is so saddened by what I've learned today. My thoughts and prayers are with your family, may you hold beautiful memories close to your heart to comfort you today and always. Siobhan was a beautiful woman both inside and out and I am grateful to have known her. Her spirit was palpable, her intelligence immense and her drive admirable. I pray to carry a piece of her with me. God bless you all.

November 9, 2009

I read this morning the beautiful entry describing Siobhan from November 7th. It is comforting to know that other's knew her true beauty....

November 7, 2009

How can one describe Siobhan? Kind, compassionate, endearing, witty, feisty, intelligent,and the most beautiful soul I have ever known. I will always miss you Siobhan. My heart will ache forever until I see you again.

To Ellen and Bob, the Kinlin Family, and all those who knew and loved Siobhan,

It has been said that Death is not extinguishing the Light, rather it is putting out the Lamp because the Dawn has come...

The Dawn came far too early for Siobhan and our world is much darker since her Lamp went out. But I know that her Light lives on in those who knew her, especially her incredible family who sustained her with their love. You remain in my prayers and thoughts each and every day, and I pray that with time you will find peace.

Mary Ann Latter

January 30, 2009

Love knows not its own depth until the hour of seperation. Let not the waves of the sea nor the rays of the sun silence her beautiful spirit.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Kinlin Family,
I cannot begin to imagine the amount of pain and loss that you have experienced over the last few months. I was a tutor with Siobhan at Nativity last year, and I was immediately struck by her overwhelming passion and generosity. Her spirit was contagious, and I know that she is very much alive in all of the hearts that she touched, min included. My prayers continue to be with you all.

Orlando Emiliano

August 5, 2008

I worked with Siobhan for 3 years at Nativity Prep in Boston. I don't think I will ever meet another person with such a great and smart sense of humor. That's how I remember Señorita Kinlin, as I called her. I'm missing her.

August 2, 2008

Although I didn't know Siobhan well she impacted my time at Cape Cod Academy. She will always be remembered as a beautiful, talented, and caring person. My thoughts are with you and I am so sorry for your loss.

I was so sad to hear of your family's tragic loss...Siobhan was one of my art students from many years ago in Dover, actually she was one of my students the first year I taught in Dover....I remember her smile and bubbly personality, this was 19 years ago! I loved her name and remember mispronouncing it the first day of school...I am so sorry for your loss, she was a doll.

My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you. Reza told me the news yesterday when he was helping me move into my new apt. I have fond memories of the time I spent with Siobhan as part of the Drama Club at CCA. She was extraordinarily talented, magnetic and remarkably charismatic.

To the Kinlin Family:
I was a camp counselor and later program director at Pooh's Corner at the Oyster Harbors club. Siobhan was a beautiful, energetic, precocious camper. We spent many summers together, and I have fond memories of this spirited little girl bursting with personality.
My heart aches for your loss. As a parent myself now I cannot imagine your grief. Siobhan and the entire Kinlin family will be in my prayers. I hope my memories of little Siobhan bring a smile to your face and not another tear to your eye.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your daughter and our friend. I have nothing but fond memories of my time with Siobhan at Tabor. My favorite memory of Siobhan is when our dorm gathered after study hall and spent the night lip syncing to Madonna - Siobhan was on lead vocals singing into a hairbrush.

Joyce Mathews (Oliveri)

June 25, 2008

I read this, and I think it says a lot.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away
Although we loved you so dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

June 25, 2008

My sincere sympathy goes out to the Kinlin family. I am very sorry for the loss of such a beautiful, talented and kind young woman.
