She came to visit us and it was like watching somebody who just won the lottery. She would show us pictures of the diving. She would show us the pictures of the animals, ,sea lions and things of that nature that she was working with. She was volunteering with a lot of the different organizations for restoration so on."

They had just seen like three great whites I'm pretty sure in that area. So they looked at her and they're like, so are you going to go out and get it. She's like, yeah. She jumped down in the water and she went and got that kayak. She was, no matter what you couldn't stop her. She was a really fine strong person. She was really strong. And she also taught me to follow my dreams which is what I'm doing right now. I'm going to school. I'm trying to follow my dreams like she did with hers."

"She passed away doing what she loved. It wasn't a horrific accident, things like that. She died doing what she loved. It's the people who climbed Mount Everest and take that chance and risk, not caring (about the risk), living life to its fullest every day. You don't know what tomorrow's going to be. If you were asking anybody that, that would be Ali.

STORYLINE:
Allie Kurtz gave up a job in the movie industry to live her dream of working on the water, and when she landed a job as deckhand on a scuba diving boat, she was thrilled.
She was on that boat, the Conception, when it caught fire and sank, the only crew member among the 34 people trapped below deck as flames blocked their only way out.
Friends from South America to Europe are mourning the 26-year-old, whose family said they will miss her lively, adventurous spirit but know she died doing what she loved most.
Five crew members, including the captain, who were above deck managed to escape after fire engulfed the boat as the victims slept early Monday during a three-day scuba diving excursion off the Southern California coast.
Flames moved quickly through the 75-foot (23-meter) boat, blocking a narrow stairway and an escape hatch leading to the upper decks and giving those below virtually no chance of getting out, authorities said.
"She passed away doing what she loved," said her father Robert Kurtz.
