I shared many laughs with Kirsten. She was always smiling and having fun! My thoughts are with you Connie, as I know how much you loved and cared for her. She will be missed by all.

Paul and Connie, my prayers and thoughts are with you during this most hardest moment of your lives. Please hang in there. Connie, you said to me tonight that today is not a good day and tomorrow probably won't be either, but I'm hoping that that will change in the near future for you. You gave Kirsten everything you had and she loved you so much for it. You gave her life!!! What a precious gift. She will be missed.

I met Kirsten when she was in high school and I was working in her classroom. Her smile and positive attitude always brightened my day. When I tranferred schools I still often wondered about Kirsten and wondered how she was doing. She was such a sweet soul and often times her happy smile was the highlight of my day. She will be long remembered and missed. Jennifer

I didn't know Kirsten, but that smile just knocked me off my feet! She's going to be the brightest star in the sky now. May you be at peace and know you did well.
