I am so saddened to learn of Kirsten's passing. She was such a sweet and kind person. Her beautiful smile was contageous and though I didn't know her well, it was obvious she brightened the lives of all who had the pleasure of meeting her.

Jeff and family,
I am very sorry to read about your sister. Though I have not seen you since high school, I have not forgotten anyone. I was basically a "nobody" in school and I did not know your sister well at all, but anytime I saw her in the halls of the school, she would always smile and say hello to me. She was always very nice. I am so sorry for your loss. Reading all of these guest-book memories about Kirsten enforce my thoughts of what a special person she was. My family will pray for all of you.

The fun, the stories & the laughter we shared together will live with me forever. She truly was a very dear friend, and I'll never know how she knew my darkest times, but she always did! The years and the distance never did separate us, and with each call, we could catch back up in minutes. I'll miss you so much Kirsten, "Thank you for being a friend"

Oh, how my front porch and deck will miss Kirsten. She sat in her special chair with her Kahula and cream in hand. She also had a special chair in my living room for the Steelers games. My house, and my heart, are now missing a beautiful friend and person.
