Kim was one of my closest & dearest friends, we had 15 years together. We fished, hunted, walked & talked about a lot of things.
One thing I can say about her is I have never known anyone to have had the love of outdoor adventure as Kim.
I will always hold a special place in my heart for her for all times. I am so glad that I was w/her in the end.
I'll miss you Kim!
