To Kim's entire family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I was fortunate to go to school with Kim at DHH Lengel Middle School in Pottsville. She was an absolutely beautiful and kind girl. Although we lost touch since those sweet days of our youth, I thought of her often and of the friendship we had. I would like to share with you one of my favorite verses from the book of Isaiah, 12:2, which continues to be a source of strength for me: "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation."
