I know Kim from growing up with her when we reached adulthood. She was very sweet and very kind. My condolences go out to her family. I think sometimes that life is really really short and everyone should enjoy themselves to the best of their ability I have not seen Kim in over 20 years, but I’m sure she was as sweet as she was 40 years ago. Rest in peace, my friend I will see you again soon.
