My deepest sympathy to all of her family and to Patty. I worked with Patty at Telect for 10 yrs. I remember when Patty introduced me to Kim...she brought out the best in Patty! She was a breathe of fresh air when ever she was around, she had so much life in her and she gave Patty a whole new outlook on life : )
I have so many wonderful memories of Kim...thank you Kim for touching my life and so many others!

My deepest condolences to the Buergel family. Kim was my friend throughout grade school, and into high school after I moved. I always liked and respected her. I am saddened by this news. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to her family and friends. Being here on Kauai at the same time this tragedy happened has given all of my family (from Spokane) much saddness. Bless you and keep you during this time. The storm will wane and some peace will come.
