A stretch of road in Commerce City has become a symbol of loss for Crisie Langill’s family.
“She should be remembered, she was a part of this community,” said Langill. “Everyone loved her, and she deserves to be remembered.”
In the year-and-a-half since her daughter, 16-year-old Karalynn Kincaid, was struck and killed crossing the crosswalk outside Monaco Elementary School, Langill has found comfort in the memories placed at a memorial site created by families, friends and even strangers in the Colorado community who have walked by the scene of the accident.
“The memorial started the night she passed away,” said Langill. “It was just a wonderful experience to see her loved.”
Back in May, Langill says that same memorial was set on fire.
“It broke my heart. How could someone be so heartless to take that memory from her. She didn’t do nothing wrong,” said Langill. “She was just being remembered.”
