Todd, I have never met you or Kim. Yet I feel like I know you and feel your loss. So sad for you and your family after it looked like there was progress. Praying that your pain will lessen over time.

Todd, Melva and I are stunned and saddened. Kim was so helpful and supportive every trip we made to Vinton. Everyone felt like extended farm family. You have our deepest sympathies.

Todd, you, Kim, Taylor, and Peyton are all so special to me. From my first Idiot Jam in 2011 I have felt the love that you all in radiate. I am so sad and pray for you and the girls.

I know I have posted earlier, but truthfully I, as all of us here, are truly heartbroken. We all loved her as part of our own family. I first met her when Ethan (9 at the time) and I recorded the Idiot Jam of 2006. We always think of what we can do to fill the empty spaces. As Harry Chapin wrote "Empty spaces always ask for filling..." With that in mind, to a wonderful person, Kim RIP... Kim and Todd

She is lifted up and floats free like a song. My heart is heavy with this news and I grieve for the sadness that is now with you and the girls. Prayers headed skyward for comfort and peace for you, the girls and all those who will miss her terribly. ❤️

Not the news I was hoping to hear. That this hits so many of us, scattered across the country, so hard says a lot. Another part of this community is lost, and we grieve with you.

Oh, Todd! I have no words, only tears. Kim has been such a light to all of us who knew her. You and the girls have our love and sympathy, and of course prayers.

I’m afraid that I really can’t add anything here. It’s much more than I can handle, especially with Kim’s coming to the US through Holt Children’s service as my Joshua did. I’ll let him know. You have all of our love and prayers at this sad time. You also have my phone number. I have two good ears and am a patient listener. Call if you need.

I just came in from mowing the front lawn. With sun, temp and humidity, it was not exactly pleasant, but none of that registered for me while I was out there. Every step, every pace, was embracing a thought about Kim, about Todd, about Taylor, about Peyton. It was miserable, but not because of the environment. It was miserable because of the thought process, the wounded heart.
So many of us on the Soundhole forum are veterans of loved ones' deaths before their time -- I won't attempt a listing because I know I would miss one or more.
But it's so painful to once again acknowledge Todd's membership in that group, which he had already joined with the untimely death of his brother, and it's so painful to acutely remember Kim and her amazing humanity and sweetness and smarts and humor and beauty and spirit. Such a perfect human being, if that is possible.
I'm trying very hard to focus on the positives, how lucky we all were to get to know her, how, as Bruce said, she is no longer in pain. How much she gave to the world and to us, and how she got the best medical care that one could ask for.
But it's all just so wrong, somehow. And all we can do to make it a little more right is to be there for Todd and his daughters, which I have no doubt will be the case.
We love you, Todd, Taylor, Peyton -- big time. Tell us what will help, we're here for you.

It is always so wrong, Bill. Inevitable, yes, but it's still wrong somehow.

Oh man, Todd, I am so sorry. I don't know what to say, but I bet Kim does and you'll hear her if you listen. She will always be with you.
Head up, heart open, and keep your feet moving.
