My heartfelt condolences go out to George and the family. Kim and I used to work together and every now and then we'd run into each other, out and about and it was always like no time had passed in between. She was a kind and giving lady and I considered her a good friend. Rest in peace my friend.

Dena and I were very sorry to hear about Kim and we are sending our condolences to George, Jamie and Alex. We have very fond memories of working with and visiting with Kim at Main Plant while working together at Collins and taking the boys to visit. Kim was a wonderful person and will be missed.
