I can't believe it's been about ten years since Kyra left us. And I miss her to this day. I worked with her for several years in the OEA government relations department. One of my best memories of her was on Friday afternoons when she would dance across the room to Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas".

What can you say about Kyra..except everyone will miss that gal! I had the priviledge of knowing Kyra through my sister, Patty(Holt)Thompson. I first met Kyra in high school. Patty and Maya were good friends of Kyra and managed to keep in close touch all these years. My husband & I enjoyed it when Kyra would come, with Patty, to our home for barbeques and holiday parties. She was a bright, fun & just all together wonderful person to be around..Never a dull moment! We will all miss your...

Kyra was a great lady and very brave. Anyone who loves her animals as much as Kyra did has a gigantic heart. I wish I'd had a chance to know her better.

I've worked with Kyra for the last six years. She was a woman of principle, hilarious, a good friend, creative, and lifted our spirits. Her absence is hard and deeply felt. I can't believe I'll never hear her laugh again.

Kyra and I met in grade school, I loved her sense of humor and generous spirit. These past couple of years I had the honor of getting to know her all over again and she is truly my hero. I miss her, and she will always have a place in my Heart.
