Dear Jim, Paul and I were so saddened to learn of the incredibly untimely death of Kim. We have such fond memories of her, seemingly always being gracious, personable, kind and generous in spirit. It only makes us realize that we have missed out by not knowing her better and seeing her more often.
Our son Zachary remembers Brad and Tanner and our daughter Jen may have crossed paths with your kids.
We wish you as well as possible during this time of grief when feelings and emotions are heightened;
this time actually allows you to hold her more closely and savor the feelings and memories, so don't rush through them (I'm obviously wearing my therapist hat).
We would hope to connect with you when the time is right. Seeing Kim's photo makes me remember how very elegant and beautiful she is in my memory.
Sincerely, Carol Berman

Kim and I were friends for 60 years. Every time we met it was like the years just melted away. She loved Jim and the life they built together so very much!The children were her pride and joy! To say she was a loving wife, mother and sister ( Steve) is not enough to describe her. Pass all she taught on to her beautiful grandkids! Condolences, Christine Hantgin

I will be planting a tree for Viola´s dear and wonderfully supportive friend very soon at the 5V in Santa Margarita where I live. I´m sure it will thrive in her honor. What a loss to her family. I send my condolences. Another UCSB graduate, Virginia Yant.
