Kristy Gough

<3

your story is an emerald stone
polished smooth by the pounding sea.
i feel its weight in my breast pocket
it is with me always.
quietly it whispers
quick to remind me
that each day
each moment
is nothing less
than a sacred gift.

though i had never met you, kristy,
neither will i ever forget you...

your spirit spins along the road of life, while in this life, you won some fine races, while after this life, you've touched so many hearts...your fire, your energy burns on & is unforgettable.

your life was so full but ended so suddenly...a reminder to us all how precious life is.I love to ride and you will now inspire me when i'm on the saddle. I know your in a better place and looking down upon us...peace be with you..

i would like to express my condelencses to the family members and friends of Kristianna Gough. I can feel your grief as i also lost a daughter to an accident a little similar to yours. My daughter was also hit and killed while riding her bike. My daughter was only 12 years old. i would just like to say they are both in the same place and watching over us. My heart and prayers go out to you Kristianna. Never lost always among us. Residing In Paradise in heaven. Our deepest empathy and sorrow.

Kristy's energy and excitement for the sport got me involved in triathlons. She was a great gal and an inspiration. I'll be participating in my first Ironman this summer and I'll be thinking of Kristy and her ability to suffer gracefully and still drive on.

Kristy, today as always, I am dreaming of you. Did you see us down by the river as we called out your name? Love, Mom

Laurissa, Karen, Rip, Gabe, Valiant, and all Kristy's family....

Sending you prayerful thoughts from the ocean in South India... wishing you unconditional support, spaciousness to grieve, compassion, people to hear you, and honoring the passing of Kristy as well as honoring the continuation of your own life journies. I still find and source inspiration to follow my dreams thinking about all the stories I have heard about Kristy following her dreams.

I wish you all...
