The healthcare world has lost a wonderful person and we at St. Dominic's have lost a wonderful nurse. Kim was a talented, caring registered nurse and that's what I will remember when I think of her. She faced this tragic illness with the same kind of grit that she had in supporting patients and families at St. D. My sincere sympathies to Charles and her sons and their families. Kim will be dearly missed.

My heart is aching. I haven't seen Kim in ages but it doesn't take away this heartache. She was a close friend whom I shared bus rides when we were young and teenage riding when older. Peace, love, and comfort to the family
