Volleyball hosts region playoffs The Augustana Augie says goodbye to Kellie Harrison Sioux Falls, S.D. Friday, Nov. 17, 2000 BY MATT DREKE MIRROR SPORTS CO-EDITOR On a day when the nation was electing its future leaders, the Augustana community took time to remember a dear friend and leader. Friends gathered at 10 a.m. on Nov. 7 to honor Kellie Harrison in a memorial service held in the Chapel of Reconcili-ation. Harrison and her best friend Ashley Joslyn were driving home from Sioux Falls to Can-ton, S.D., on June 9 when they collided with a pickup on Lin-coln County Road 116 south of Sioux Falls. The accident hap-pened at 1:19 p.m., and both were killed instantly. The two women were 19 and had been best friends since the fourth grade. Both graduated from Canton High School in 1999. Harrison attended Augustana, was planning to major in nursing and was working at Sioux Val-ley Hospital as well as Abercrombie & Fitch. Joslyn attended the Uni-versity of South Dakota. Harrison is best "She was always in a good mood, always laughing. We had a lot of fun together." "[Kellie] was always full of life," Faulstich said. "There was never a dull moment with Kellie." During the memo-rial Campus Pastor Maribeth McGoven talked about things that are unexplain-able. When things of this sort happen, they can never be explained, McGoven said. For reflections, Harrison's good friend, sophomore Crystal Boehmer read a poem in the form of a letter to Jesus. The poem talked about all the types of things the two friends used to do together. It talked about all of the long talks they used to have, and all of the fun they had together. The poem also ques-tioned why God took Harrison from all of her friends, and Boehmer said she would do it all over again even knowing that all the pain would come. In tears, Boehmer struggled through the beautiful poem, but Faulstich said the poem described Harrison in every way. Junior Shelby Groen sang "Friends" by Michael W. Smith for special music.
