"Dear Linda, I can't explain the immense shock and sadness I felt when I read Kim's name in the obituaries. We have been out of touch for many years, but seeing this brought back so many warm memories of our friendship and of knowing Kim growing up. I can't begin to imagine what you both endured for many years. Your road to healing will be paved with loving memories and knowing she is now at peace. I will be thinking of you in the weeks and months ahead. I hope that someday our lives will cross paths again. With deepest sympathy, Beth Fay"
