I am so very sorry to hear that Kim passed away. We met her many years ago through her husband , Bob. Although we did not see them a lot over the years, Kim was always friendly and outgoing. She was so proud of her family. We saw her last at one of the La Canada Music in the parks concerts and she had told us of her illness.
Kerry and I send our heartfelt love to Bob and his family. Kim was a very special lady filled with love. May God comfort you during these difficult times.
