Article misrepresents student’s life

First, I would like to write a letter that has some content of what a great friend Kristine Noonan was to me, and to almost everyone she had ever met. Many friends of "Noonan" were upset by the write-up in the Exponent on April 10. It showed no representation of Kristine, but instead all it included was that she "made funny voices" and a detailed description of a tattoo? I would like to write a little something that her friends and family would rather remember her by.

Kristine was one of my best friends, not to mention my boyfriend's sister. I would like to start off by letting everyone know how great of a relationship her brother Mike and her had. They depended on each other for everything, including friendship, support, protection and love. Either one would do anything for the other. Personally, I know that he would rather people remember her for these attributes.

Secondly, I would like to try to explain what an awesome friend she was. I trusted her with my secrets, she gave me friendly advice, she would always be there for me, she gave her time to anyone in need (even though she should have been doing other things) and she always made me laugh. And for that, I will never forget what a great friend she was.

Lastly, her friends and family would want everyone to remember her by her fun personality and all of those hilarious memories that we all shared with her. We will greatly miss her; she was such a big part of so many people's lives. We know that she is in a better place now and her friends have a great angel looking down on us. We love you, Noonan.
