We have all lost a good friend and colleague in Kristie Forrest.  She has left an indelible impression on everyone that she has worked with or who knew her.  Kristie was there for everyone: through her immense talents for delivering imaginative yet practical work solutions in the most complex situations; through her sense of humour which always lifted the dreariest of meetings and the darkest of days; through her humanity in understanding the pressures people around her were under, and an uncanny ability to anticipate and then help; or through her instinct to care for all those around her, building a trusting and sharing environment. 

Many of you will have your own memories.  Losing someone so young is terribly sad and hard to come to terms with.  But she has left a legacy that we can keep in our minds and our hearts.  This book provides all of you with the chance to capture the memories that form that legacy and to share with her husband Wayne and her family the love and sense of loss that we all share for Kristie.

Wayne, we cannot appreciate the pain you are feeling now.  But knowing that Kristie remains in all our hearts too will, we hope, help to keep her memory alive.
