Kirsten I. Norgaard

Sister Kirsten was very special in my life and I will miss her in ways I haven't even imagined yet. She taught me along the way that a sense of humor can get you through most anything; always, always get a second and maybe third opinion (and then go with your gut reaction); don't be afraid to speak up for yourself and your needs; and, finally she taught me that true courage is to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. She was my inspiration.

Kirsten will be missed. I heard about her passing too late to attend the prayer service since I was on vacation. Now she is with God without any pain and suffering.

Kirsten was not only my Aunt, she was one of my best friends. I am going to miss the horror flicks, the Taco John's, and the staying up late talking and listening to Bad Co, Jackson Browne, etc. She made me feel special, wanted, and loved and I will miss her dearly.

While she was with us here on earth, Kirsten was a very special person, chosen by God to inspire those of us who knew her. Her strength, her acceptance of where she was in life, her ability to overcome the many obstacles and disappointments she experienced and love enough to always be concerned about the well being of others. This is not to intimate that she was perfect........none of us are, but she lived the life she was dealt with great dignity. We are blessed to have been a part of her...

Kirsten will always be my friend, she was the smallest among us and the toughest. She always had a smile no matter what she was going through. I know she will be watching out for us all. I feel honored for knowing Kirsten and I know that we will meet again.

Kirsten will be very much missed. It is a blessing that the Lord has chosen to have her join him. She has struggled for many, many years with health problems. I will always remember the good times we spent together growing up. The Sunday dinners, motorcycle rides, learning her cheers, and the long conversations we shared. Kirsten will always hold a special place in my heart as I am sure she will in many others.
