Dear Jim, Casey and Jamie,
I was trying to find your address because I was planning a road trip next summer to MI and instead I ran across Kim's obituary. Even though we haven't been in touch in several years I will never forget her kind heart and infectious laugh and what a good and loyal friend she was to me. I've loved her dearly since high school and have thought of her often. I am so deeply saddened and send my love and prayers to you all. Please send me an e-mail and let me know how you all are. Love, Shelley (Johnson) Nevitt
