Not sure what to say?

I met Kira through my sister as they were classmates. And then I had the pleasure of being in one of directing projects when she was at IPFW. She was a wonderful soul and person to work with. Heaven gained a wonderful angel. May she rest in heaven and at peace.

Kira was one of the first people I met in Fort Wayne when I moved here. We shared a love for theatre and singing. I loved seeing her in Wind in the Willows and Edward Tulane with All For One, and especially in the all female version of Hamlet at First Presbyterian. She had such passion when she performed, and that spilled over into her passion for life as well. I think she knew how fragile life can be and she didn't waste a minute of it. I will miss her very much. Much love and...

My heartfelt condolences to Kira's family and friends. She loved her family and her faith community. We had many rides together and a lot of singing!!! She possessed a vibrant pursuit of creativity and accomplishment! This tenacity of spirit still soars!!!

I will miss seeing Kira's shining face at UU church. She added so much and was so friendly and loving. My sympathy to Muriel.

I will so miss that beautiful smile

I had the honor of knowing Kira through my work; So sorry for your loss!

I was very saddened to hear of Kira's passing. I met Kira as a board member of Community Transportation Network. She always had positive attitude to go along with her wonderful smile. She will be missed.

I met Kira while she was a student at IPFW, many years ago.

She was warm, friendly, kind, and generous. Her smile made her face shine. She had a very good presence.

She always struck me as a very good student, who was serious about her studies.

May she rest from her labors in the peace of our Lord.
