I am so sorry to hear of Kim's passing. We didn't see each other often, but when we did, it was like no time had passed. I met Kim in high school and quickly became friends. I have cherished memories of her picking us girls up in her dad's red firebird and cruising around. When she talked about her family you could tell she truly loved you all. Ella was a great pride of Kim's and no doubt Kim will be watching over from heaven. Tanya Morrison Houde
