My deepest condolences to Kristens family. I worked with Kristen at Smcdsb for a few years when she was an ICT tech. When you work with someone daily, they become family. Kristen was very hardworking and so smart. Her determination to solve IT issues left a lasting impression. That determination and spirit was evident in how she lived her life, never letting anything get her down, and finding solutions to any problem thrown her way. And always with a smile. I will miss her.
