I just heard that Kim passed. She was a co- worker at VOA and we loved her. She hired two of my sons at the group home she managed and was good to both of them. She was one of those people even though we didn't see one another, always considered her a friend. She loved her family, she was so proud of all of you kids. Heaven got a good one. Rest easy in the arms of our savior. Until I get there keep singing
