I just found out today about Kim`s passing and I`m truly sorry for your loss. Kim was married to my cousin Monty.My family moved here from N.C. in 1989 and it was a couple of years after that I met Kim. She was one of the sweetest people I think I ever met. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am lucky to have the opprotunity to meet Kim. I met her four years ago but it wasn't till very recently that I got to know her, her three daughters Chrisy, Cydney, and Carrie.

I spoke with Jennifer Bush Long tonight and she told me about Kim's passing. Oh, what a sweet memory Kim will always hold in my heart! Most of my memories were when Kim and I were in middle school toghther and both played horrible clarinet in the band. Kim, Janova and me....last chairs. But we had such fun and we would get so tickled, Kim would have that clainet in her mouth and tears streaming down her face because we found everything really funny! What a better place this world has...
