                     IN MEMORY OF KRYSTLE CAMPBELL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. EDWARD J. MARKEY

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, Krystle Campbell, a resident of Arlington 
and graduate of Medford High School, lost her life at the Boston 
Marathon finish line doing what she loved to do: support other people. 
She was 29 years old, just a few weeks from her 30th birthday, with a 
lifetime of helping more people ahead of her.
  Krystle's annual pilgrimage to the marathon finish represented who 
she was, says her family. When people needed support, Krystle was 
there. When her grandmother needed help following surgery, Krystle 
moved in with her for two years to help her recover.
  Krystle's smile, hard work, and constant happy demeanor is what her 
family and friends will miss. But most of all, they will miss what she 
was always known for: being there when you needed her, being a joyful, 
active participant in the lives of her family and friends.
  In our grief, we know that Krystle is still there, still cheering all 
of us on, still there in our hearts. Today we honor her memory and the 
joy she brought to so many lives.
