Kirsten , you were such a loving and caring person to all ! You leave a void that cannot be filled. I will miss you my dear friend. Godspeed in your flight to heaven.
My dear friend, neighbor, and a gorgeous person, inside and out, Kirsten will be missed dearly. She touched so many lives, positively, everyday. I am blessed I got to know her. Love ya, gorgeous❤ Sunita
Kirsten – I will never forget your beautiful smiling face. You made everyone in your life feel so special. You had a true gift for friendship and so much love in your heart. Thank you for being my friend. Even though our time together was far too short, my life wouldn’t be the same without you. Love you, Beautiful Girl! Your dad is waiting for you up there 🙂
Kirsten- I am so going to miss you girl! I can still see your smiling face at work and hear you say to everyone “Hey Sweetie!” Thank you for all of the help and support that you gave me at work, I am forever grateful. I’m so proud of all of your accomplishments at work as well. I guess we will have to do our celebration lunch another time. My heart breaks for your family and I will keep them in my daily thoughts and prayers! Love ya girl- I’ll miss you! Xoxo
Kirsten was my older sister. She was amazing. She was the best sister a brother could have. When I was young should would protect me and teach me everything to know about life. As I have gotten older, I have realized how much she truly loved me and my family. I have never met anyone that was as happy as she was and she only saw the good in everyone. I plan to take her “accept everyone” attitude and live the way she did. Kirsten, you have no idea how I wish you were here to give me some of your “be happy” attitude to get through the pain I’m feeling. I will be here for Mom and you are with Dad. I promise that I will live life to the fullest with the joy and happiness that you did. Going to miss you, but your purpose will not be forgotten. “Be happy and love everyone.” I love you, sis.

We have lost such a kind and sweet person. I will miss you so much, Kirsten, and I will always have fond memories of our time together. Pete, Kyle, and Maddie: we ache with you and hope you will find solace in knowing how much she loved you. —from Sabel family
These are a few pictures of my family they are old. I am 48 but when I was 28 and less I worked with Kirsten at Reston Childrens Center she was a fun very beautiful girl then and then I had the honor to be her daughters pre school teacher when she was 2-3 yrs old.
Wow I will miss you Kirsten but I know you are with us watching and a beautiful angel soaring above. I wish your family love and strength because you gave us all that love. Love Heather Knapp Daugherty
My beautiful sister-in-law, Kirsten.
A feather means you are an angel watching over your family and I truly hope you are an angel with a beautiful smile and all the love you shared with your family and friends
Kirsten was my coworker and friend. Kirsten was full of life always smiling she walked in a room and made everyone laugh. We had a lot of good laughs together. Kirsten loved her family and children so very much they were her life. Going to miss you my dear friend. Heaven has earned a Angel.
There will never be another person as effervescent as Kirsten. She would light up a room by just walking in it. Her smile was contagious. We loved Kirsten as a sister. Our heart is breaking to know we will never see her again. Our love goes out to Peter, Kyle and Madison, and all of Kirsten’s family and friends. Know that your Pennsylvania family loves you.
I didn’t know Kirsten’s name until now, but I saw her everywhere: at the pool, at church, at school, around Vienna. She was always approachable and seemed like so much fun, I would say to myself “I wish I was friends with her!”.
Kirsten will be greatly missed by everyone who came in contact with her, even people who did not know her name.

Kirsten – your bright smile, your loving hugs, and your unmistakable energy will be sorely missed on a daily basis. If there was one person we could count on to be at every event, it was you. The community has lost a great soul.
Kirsten was so full of life and energy that it’s still a shock that she’s gone. I share in the sadness that all who knew her must feel, and pray for her friends and family in this time of grief.
While Kirsten worked to make everybody she met feel special, anybody that knew her knew that her life revolved around her children, hubby, and family and in her joy in her role as Mom, Wife and Daughter. She was so proud of all of you and loved you so much. Heaven has indeed received a new Angel.
To my beautiful daughter. I will miss you everyday. No words can express the loss I feel . You had the biggest smile from the day you were born until the day you left us. I will miss our talks sometimes about nothing important, I will miss those calls. I will miss our girls night out (me, you and Madison) . I will miss our traditional visit to Ice at the Gaylord. There are so many things I will miss doing with you. You had so many good qualities. You were my rock when dad died. You accepted Don when he came into my life. You were a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, niece. You had so much love in your heart for everyone. You were one of kind, an angel on earth. I love you. You will always live in my heart.
Kirsten was a student of mine in elementary school. She was happy go lucky and always looked out for her fellow students. I remember her from when she started first grade. My thoughts and prayers are
with her family at this time. Mrs. Margaret Ann ONeill

This is beyond hard to accept. We were friends for a couple of years because Madison and Zach were in class together. I am forever grateful that we got to know one another. Kirsten was such an old soul, and when I met her, it was like we had been friends since childhood! She was infectious and made everyone feel important, loved and appreciated. She made everyone matter and made sure they knew it. I am going to miss this wonderful person who came into my life, like so many others. You will be truly missed in this physical world, but I know you are doing all kinds of good where you are now. Although I am not looking forward to seeing you again, I am looking forward to seeing you again! My heart goes out to her family, Pete, Kyle, Madison, Kathie and Kurt and those for whom she cared. Wishing you all peace and blessings.
Kirsten, my heart goes out for your kids and family! For the past a few years that we became known to each other, I remembered you as a warm, loving person with an amazing ability to make everyone feel special. You called me “Sweetie”, which I will miss, together with your infectious smile and big hug. You went out of your way to give me information on Madison’s basketball team so she and my daughter could play together. The picture of you leading the fun games in Ms. Meoni’s kindergarten class only becomes even more poignant! You will be truly missed!
Kirsten was always such a positive person and just exuded happiness and love. She loved her family and always wanted to share pictures of Kyle and Madison and talk about their accomplishments and how proud she was of them. I know she’s watching over everyone and smiling that infectious smile of hers. We lost a light here in this world but God gained a spectacular angel.
I worked with Kirsten for 4 years and she always had a smile on her face. She was so cheerful and had a positive attitude. She was a great mother; everyone knew her children came first. It is so hard to believe God took her so soon. This world is going to miss such a wonderful person. RIP Kirsten you will never be forgotten. My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family.
Kirsten your bright smile and positive outlook on life will be missed by everyone’s life you touched or enlightened.
Remembering Kirsten from the Cinnamon Creek neighborhood in Vienna back in the ’70’s and early 80’s. Such a sweet young girl with a beautiful smile. She was friends with my daughter, Lynda. So sorry for your loss, Kathy. Will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Sometimes in life you meet a special person that touches your life with their smile, kind words of encouragement, and presence. Kirsten, you were that person. You have touched our lives, and we are left blessed having known you. You will live in our hearts forever. Thank you and God bless your family.

Kirsten was the happiest and warmest soul! She adored her kids, their biggest fan! Here’s a characteristic smiling photo of her on the sidelines of Maddie’s soccer game with her mom and Lora.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Death is never natural. Especially when a loved-one hasn’t lived many years. Please accept this comfort from the scriptures. Isaiah chapter 41 verse 10 says, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.” Please accept my condolences.
I remember the day I first met Kirsten so vividly. It was the PTA Kindergarten play date. I was new to Westbriar and my daughter Alison didn’t know anyone. In true Kirsten fashion she approached us with a big beautiful smile, started introducing us to people and immediately made us feel welcomed. It wasn’t until Maddie and Ali were in 1st grade together that their and our friendship began to blossom.
When I first got to know her, I knew I liked her. She reminded me so much of someone from NY (where I grew up) and I was shocked when I found out she wasn’t originally from there. She was what I describe as a typical New Yorker, vivacious, full of life, bold, outgoing, friendly and so much fun! I knew instantly I would love her. From there we started hanging out more and more and just in the past year became really close friends. Truth be told, I’ve never really had a friend in my time in Virginia that I felt such a strong connection with. We always said to one another, “You just get me”. I can’t even explain it. We were so similar in so many ways, yet so completely different. I’m so grateful for the time we had together and the amazing friendship we shared, although far too short! It was a friendship of love and support that was unwavering and true. I’m so sad for the things we’ll never get to do. We had so many plans and so many traditions in the works yet to unfold.
Kirsten you will never know what it meant to me to have you for a friend. Your welcoming smile, your infectious laughter, your crazy emojis, your love for life, and your fierce and steadfast love for your family were all things I truly admired about you. I love you dearly and will miss you always. Rest in peace my sweet friend.
After posting earlier and in going through some more old Cinnamon Creek photos we discovered a couple more of Kirsten and our daughters and wanted to share. What a beautiful young lady she was. Life is so fragile . . . may you treasure all your wonderful memories and moments together.

Kirsten and I met when we worked together back in 2007. I fell in love with her instantly! I don’t think she ever got angry or said a bad word about anyone. When we met, she was expecting Madison and was so happy about having a little girl. I was at her baby shower and she always used to invite us to the house at lunch hour and she’d feed us whatever she had in the fridge. I loved going to work just to see and talk to her. She had the best stories! She loved her babies Kyle and Madison.
Peter — Kirsten talked about you so much before we met, I felt I’d known you for years. She loved going to your work functions and supporting your career. God bless you and the family. I will certainly miss her.
