My most sincere sympathy to all of Kim`s family. We shared a bond of friendship and sisterhood in Alpha Xi Delta.
This past weekend we honored our Order of the Rose- in which Kim´s name was read from the list of those that were celebrated .
So many good memories
She will be missed by all of us

I am so sorry for your loss. As Diane said earlier her name came up as we talked about many wonderful and fun times at West Liberty. Over the years I have asked if others knew where she was living to reconnect. So sad to reconnect with this news. Prayers and condolences go to you and your family.

I am so very sorry to find this information and send my deepest sympathies. I was just at West liberty this past weekend celebrating our 50 years of sorority membership and we were all trying to figure out where Kim was and how we could reach her. So many happy memories at West liberty With Kim. Had no idea you all were right in Durham all the time; my husband and I reside in Wilmington and I was in and out of Durham many times over my career. What an amazing woman Kim was and so funny and full of life. Love to all the family, Diane (Billham) Gongaware.

I´m so very very sorry for your sudden loss. I heard Kim´s voice occasionally when you or I called. Could tell you loved Kim very very much. Also Don, you would also talk about Kim´s knowledge ,respect, and toughness . I will keep Kim and you Don, in my prayers. Again I´m so sorry. Bill and Jeryll Bushman Milwaukee WI
