Sylvia, Danyull and Michal - I am so sorry for your loss and have been praying for you all since I heard about Kim. I will always remember his big smile and all the good times we had together. Sylvia, I know personally how hard it is to lose your best friend and love of your life. Sending you a big hug and kiss, my friend. Unable to make the event on the 14th due to a prior commitment but would like to have your address to send you a personal note. Keep the faith....Kim is with Fred and we can only imagine what they are up to! Love you.
