I went to school and graduated with Kim. When you go to a large school and there are over 700 kids in your graduating class, you don't get to know everyone personally. Kim and I did have several classes together and what stands out about her is that I remember her being one of the nicest kids. She was always pleasant - always had a smile on her face. Even all these years later, when I think of her, I remember her being one of the "good kids".
I was really sad to learn that she passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Dear Ruby and Bill, I just got home and heard the news about Kimmy. I am speechless and devastated, first at the news and for All of her dear Family and friends who miss her sooo much! She will always be remembered as a happy, outgoing and caring person. Her legacy that she left with her students will be remembered always. I'm still having difficulty absorbing the news. Ruby, I just know that this blow to you must be more than you can deal with but at least you can think of Kimmy being with your beloved Dave. I'm sure that must give you some comfort, but your loss is so awful for you. I will be calling you to Say how sorry I am for another loss you are having to deal with. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You have been such a wonderful, loving Client and friend and Kim was too. I have been very blessed to know you and your family for so many years and to be considered as more than a friend for all of these years. I hope your faith can guide you through these trying times and you can remember all the wonderful times you all shared with her! I will always remember her fondly and I will always remember doing her hair on her Wedding day and sending you all off for that very special occasion, with Dave looking over you for sure!
All my love and prayers are with you. Take care of you now!
Love and prayers, I'm so sorry for your loss, Always, Alice
Your forever hairdresser, I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you.
