    This Is Krystle Campbell, The Second Victim In The Boston Marathon Bombings

    Described by a friend as an "angel" and "a beautiful person."

    This is Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old from Medford, MA, identified as the second victim to pass away in yesterday's Boston Marathon bombing.

    A former colleague of Krystle's, Steve Sullivan of Pembroke, MA, spoke to BuzzFeed today, describing Krystle as "a beautiful person" and "an angel": "Whenever I saw her she always had a smile on her face."

    Said her father: "My daughter was the most lovable girl. She helped everybody, and I'm just so shocked right now. We're just devastated. She was a wonderful, wonderful girl. Always willing to lend a hand."

    Boston gym Hordon Health posted on their Facebook page about Krystle:

    Please take a moment to read... Light a Candle, Say a Prayer for our loss...

    HordoN HEALTH lost a member of its extended family yesterday at the Boston Marathon. Her name was Krystle Campbell, and she died instantly yesterday at the bombings. Krystle could easily have been described as the salt of the earth, but her complexity demands more...

    Close friend of Yann Kumin, once a coach for the Boston Institute of Football and HordoN HEALTH, and friend of Marc Hordon, Krystle was seldom caught not smiling, and not expressing her opinion. She was beautiful, she was loud, and everyone loved her for it. Along with the million dollar smile came head to toe freckles and gorgeous bright red hair, connecting her Irish roots and kid-like manor; it was easy to feel ten years younger around her, no matter who you were. She had tremendous passion and energy, and Krystle attacked life with vigor and excitement.

    Krystle you will be missed not only by those who knew you, loved you, and cherished you the most, but you will be deeply missed by this world as a whole. Your character, your fortitude, your conviction is something that this world desperately needs and now will forever miss.

    Rest in Peace dear child. You are safe. You will always be loved.
