Kyle is a cousin of ours, and although we haven't kept in touch through our adult years, we're saddened to learn of her passing. Our sympathy and prayers to all her loved ones. The photos were wonderful, to see her with her parents, grandmother, and Aunt Bev brought back fond memories of all of them. Carolyn Achor States, Nancy Achor and Tom Achor

I just read Kyle's obit and am in a complete state of shock. I ran into her about a year or so ago and we talked about meeting up. Not only did we run around in high school together but we were roommates in Dayton for about a year. Mrs. Christensen was one of my girl scout leaders at one time and Dr. Christensen was a brilliant scholar. Kyle had a great personality and was very accomplished at many things - I loved her - she had a wonderful spirit and will be greatly missed. If I had only learned of her passing in time to attend her viewing/funeral! Kyle - sleep in peace my friend. Sending love to her sisters and their families - the Christensen family will be in my prayers.
