Dear Kim and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. From everything I ever witnessed he was a loving Father and he loved his 'little Kimmy'. I too know what it means to be 'daddy's girl' and to lose him so soon... Hang on to your loved ones and find comfort in all of the memories you shared. You were a good and loving daughter and that is the best gift of all.
The months ahead will be difficult, but please don't hesitate to lean on your friends for comfort and support.

All my love and prayers,

Anne

Dear Glump Family-

It has a been a pleasure being friends with each and everyone of you over the years! I remember my first meeting with your parents when I was a checker at Stadium Thriftway many years ago. They would visit my checkout stand every Sunday after church to get their pastries. And one day they showed me a family photo and there was Kim...we saw each other almost everyday and little did either of us know we all knew each other.
I am sorry for your loss and Tom will remain in my thoughts.

Tom was a fellow Kappa Sigma brother who helped me find my way as a pledge in 1954. I will always remember his kind words and encouragement.
