Read MoreI am so sorry for your loss. I was friends with Kyle at Swarthmore. She was like no one I had ever met with original perceptions, glamorous, effervescent. There is a Maxfield Parrish painting at the High. When I walk by it, I remember Kyle, that same otherworldly light.

We were so sorry to hear of Kyle's passing. Although we never met her, she handled some arrangements for us and was so gracious. Our sincerest sympathies to the family.

I met Kyle when my husband lived with some of her Swarthmore friends at Stanford. I loved the way she seemed so removed from the stresses and strains of Stanford life. She loved nature, helped out so much when one of our friends died and left a five year old and an infant motherless. She was a true free spirit and the world and I will miss her. She always spoke fondly of her big Kansas family. My thoughts are with you.

Please accept my condolences. I knew Kyle at Swarthmore and got to see her briefly in Alaska. What comes to mind is a feeling of her inviting, goofy joy.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My fondest memories are of hanging out on the trampoline in your backyard and watching the clouds go by, canoe trips in Missouri and getting into mustard fights (Steve A. started it!)
and watching Saturday Night Live. I remember all the Craven girls would sneak down to watch the show (it was past your bedtimes). Your house was always so warm and inviting. (If Keith would let you past the front door).
I miss...

Dear Nancy and family, I am so very sorry to hear. She was such a lovely, brillant, special friend. I was walking with my 89 year old father Ken Broome and sister Rosemary and daugther Nicola along a beautiful Pacific Ocean beach that day. It was a perfect, beautiful day, just like Kyle. She lives on in my memory, always. Love, Jenny Broome
