Kim lived and believed that life is about relationships, an area in which she was exceedingly wealthy. Kim was a tenacious friend. She relished the mutual investment in the lives of her friends, sharing their lives, laughing, and, in balancing her life, enjoyed time with them on beach trips and floating in the pool. Her favorite solo pastime was undoubtedly reading a book or five at a time.
