The outcome of this trial will never bring “closure” to our grief. This trial has been a bitterly trying time for us, as well as the Shore and the Newman families and those participants who have been traumatized by the events of the Spiritual Warrior Retreat.

There is no way to fill the enormous hole that Kirby’s death leaves in our family. We will always long for her joy, enthusiasm, love and compassion. Our hearts are forever broken by her death, just as our lives are forever blessed by her life.
