Dear Eddie, Chris, Bri,and Anita and everyone else in the family. Every memory I have from the age of 18 on include Kim. We were room mates for 7 years and knew so much about each other. She was a kind, loving sensitive person and her death will leave a hole in my life that will never be filled. My love and condolences to the entire Higgins family. Eddie, how lucky Kim was to find you.
