Our daughter, Amanda Kirchner, was killed on August 13th, 2016. Colorful, independent and unique described Amanda. She was ready for all the challenges the world had to offer, moving out of our house just 10 days before her death. Amanda would have turned 21 on October 1st, 2016. Amanda was walking to work and what stood between work and her were train tracks. She was hit and killed by a train in Westminster, Colorado. Amanda was wearing her noise-cancelling headphones and didn’t hear the train’s warning horn.
