Although I never had the privilege of meeting her and her husband, I feel like I know them very well from all of the wonderful things and great stories I heard from Kim over the past 11 years. Mrs. Hill has been a role model for me. I truly wish I could be even half the woman/mom/friend that she was. The world has one less amazing woman in it right now.
