Although I did not know Kim I can imagine what a fine person she ways just by virtue of having been married to you. I lost my wife almost 3 yrs. ago so I feel your pain. You will get through it as I did.

To the Canatsey and Macdonald Family and Friends,

I want to express my deep sorrow for your unique and very special loss. Even in her early twenties, Kim was already such a remarkable person. She was able to show grace and kindness even under pressure and was fun and enthusiastic in her pursuit of adventure. We started our legal careers at the same time and place at a small Tucson law firm and were good friends. Her friendship was a wonderful and memorable gift. As I saw your family photos, I can see that Kim accomplished one of her dreams. All who mourn her loss will be in my prayers.

Kindest regards,

Judy Gottschalk
