My deepest sympathies to Sam and all of Kim’s family. Kim was my grade school girlfriend. We were classmates from 3rd grade through graduation and then worked together in our early 20’s. We always had a great time at work and there was never a dull moment when Kim was there. My heartfelt prayers go out for all who knew and loved her.

Kim was a great classmate and friend. We went our separate ways after graduating in 1978. Our paths would only cross a few times over the next 46 years. The last time we saw each other was in October 2024 while my wife (Teresa) and I were visiting family in Arkansas. We were able visit Sam and Kim for a few hours. Those few hours were such a blessing to us both. Thank you Sam for having us over! May God hold this family tightly in his arms and comfort them. Rest assured my friend our paths will cross again.
