The Miss Oshkosh family remembers Miss Oshkosh 1997, Kristin (Tielens) Novaez. She and her husband were tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on Sunday, October 9th in Kenosha County. Kristin was a wonderful Miss Oshkosh and represented the city with grace. Kristin and her husband, David, were both beloved teachers in their community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.
Dear Women’s Division Members, We lost a beloved former Miss Oshkosh, Kristen Tielens, at a way too early time in her life. The following is a thoughtful letter from her family with an important message:
Dear Friends and Family,
We are having a difficult time finding the words to express our gratitude for the generosity you have shown us during this most difficult time in our life’s journey. To be honest, overwhelmed would be the best word to express our response to the love shown from everyone reaching out in friendship and support. Your collective efforts to comfort us with either your gifts of prayer, food, flowers, monetary gifts (will be given to a scholarship fund), conversation, hugs, and attention to details to assist us through this time have made us feel so loved and supported. There are not enough “Thank Yous” to articulate how much this has meant to us. We want to share with you that Kristin was an organ and tissue donor. She had been a speaker for the past 19 years on this topic and has given presentations in three states, been in an operating room when a kidney transplant was being performed, and also spoke numerous times to driver’s education classes and throughout the state. When she passed, we as a family honored her wishes to give the gift of life. We let the transplant team do as they needed to better the lives of others through any gift she could give them. Kristin always said, “Why are we burying the solution to this problem? If everyone would sign the back of their driver’s license, and TELL family of their wishes, there would be a surplus of organs, and no one would die from being on a waiting list, with a need unfulfilled.” Within two days after her passing, we already knew of many people rejoicing for the gift she gave them. As a family, we are very comforted to know that part of Kristin continues to live on in others, and that even in death, she extended herself to others as she had in life. We would be remiss to fail to mention this, as Kristin no longer has a voice to continue this cause. We would welcome the opportunity to speak to any of you on this topic if you would like to learn more. Finally, we cannot stat enough how much we appreciate the reaching out that everyone has done. Please accept our gratitude and thankfulness for the kindnesses you have shown to support us, and to honor the lives of Kirstin and David. We will never to able to articulate how much that has meant, but can say this very simply, you have certainly made us feel loved, and we love you for that.
Sincerely, The family of David and Kristin (Tielens)Novaez
