KIM ABEL

My deepest condolences to the family may the God of all comfort grant the family strength at this difficult time.

Kim Abel touched the lives of all who were fortunate enough to train with her and know her as a passionate teacher. Her meticulous planning of classes, insightful analysis and words of encouragement shaped the careers of so many. I admire her greatly and will miss our friendship. All my heartfelt condolences to Ric, Buddy and her family.

My heartfelt sympathies to the family during this difficult time...May your fondest memories bring you joy and may prayers to the God of all comfort strengthen you.
He promises, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I am healing you."
(2 Kings 20:5)

Kim will be greatly missed in the dance community. She was so kind and giving to all. My prayers for her family and friends.

Kim made it look effortless. A loving wife and mother and an exceptional talent - she navigated within those worlds with intelligence and passion. Even when she was so ill and knew she was dying, she handled it all with grace and strength. I loved her dry humor but she wasn't a cynic. She was a caring, perceptive woman with that rare quality of knowing how to be there for herself, her family and friends. Shortly before visiting her in Dallas, I found myself in Lincoln Center. And there she...

Kim, with her direct and generous approach, was a gift to dance communities across the country. She made a lasting impact on me as a performer and as a teacher, and I know that is true for so many. My prayers and deep sympathy extend to her family and loved ones.

My deepest condolences to the Abels and extended families for the passing of your dear loved one Kim. Please take comfort in the words found at John 6:40 they will bring you peace and a happy hope of seeing your dear loved one again!

KIm was a friend and colleague for many years, since our student days at Joffrey ,then in Maggie Black's classroom.
We both taught at STEPS and I was always impressed at her diligence and dedication as a teacher. Her students adored her and she was so positive and joyous as she prepared to teach. She truly left her mark on the dance world
