I only recently found out about Kim's passing. We were friends through college but after my move to FL and marriage, life drew us apart. Rest In Peace, my dear friend.

Kim was a dear friend for many, many years, as was and is her mom. I am most grateful to God for the friendship and care shown and shared with me over all these years. I am thankful she can spend her heaven praising God in full voice and energy. Save a place for me in the choir next to you., Kim. I pray I get in it with you. You pray for me too, OK?

Kim helped in the church office at St. Mark when I was music director there some years ago. She was always friendly, kind and caring. Sad to hear of her passing.
