Eric put it best: "I don’t even think tragic is a fair enough word". If you had to assign every living being the order in which they would leave this world, Kiersten should have been last. I only knew her as a coworker and it was obvious to me the day I met her that she was the happiest, most positive, most kind person I've ever met. Her smile and cheerfulness were contagious and she never had a bad word to say about anyone, despite the reasons they sometimes gave her. We can all learn a huge lesson from Kiersten about how to best live our lives. Rest in peace.
