I learned last night of Kim's passing and was simply stunned. Todd, to you, Taylor and Payton, please know that we hold you all in our hearts and thoughts. We are close by so if there is anything that we can do during this trying time please give us a call.
I had the pleasure to know Kim through you as well as through my work at the hospital. We even provided some knowledge of NW Iowa to one of the staff who's Daughter was heading up to Estherville to attend Iowa Lakes Community College. Kim and I both agreed, it could get very cold in that part of the world. Again, so sorry for this loss and know Deb and I are here in whatever capacity we can be during this time.

This piece moves me to tears every time I hear it. Written for another occasion but appropriate at this time.

In the sorrowful moments that I have felt in my life, I have always turned to this song.

Word just got to me about this horrible news. So sorry, Todd. I can't imagine how awful this is for your family.
I have such fond memories of Kim. She was always a bright light at IJ. Hard to imagine the world without her in it.
Nothing else to say, really, other than all our love and prayers for you and your girls. God bless.

Just got word from Todd that there will be a visitation Friday evening, July 2nd and a funeral service on Saturday, July 3rd. I think the funeral service will be at the Presbyterian church where our early IJam concerts were held. I'm guessing that the visitation will be at the funeral home which I think is Tehan's.
I don't have times yet.

Todd, I don't know if you are reading this (if I were in your shoes I suspect that I might not be). There's something that strikes me as almost obscenely trivializing to -- with an internet post -- even try to expess sympathy for the magnitude of your grief. No, actually the only thing that could be worse would be to throw in an emoji or two.
But in reality, the only thing that is more obscene than either of those things is saying nothing to a hurting friend.
I'm just so sorry you lost your Kim. There's just no good in it.

It occurred to me today that one of the reasons this is hitting us all so brutally hard is that Todd is the heart and soul of the forum, and Kim is the heart and soul of Todd.

Thank you all so much. I have been reading these posts since this thread started and it has been a comfort to me. A huge comfort. I go back to it now and then to re-read or see if there is something new. Because having this, and more importantly all of you, has been a balm. As all of you have been as a group for over 20 years. I do love you all. On this earth, this is a rare place and we're all fortunate to be here.

I haven’t been here as much lately, I just saw this. I’m so sorry for your loss, Todd, you and your girls. It was so busy at the one IJ I came to I didn’t get a chance to talk to Kim, I barely got a chance to talk to you. I’ve understood from everyone’s posts here and over the years what she meant to everyone. Take care of yourself, and your girls; I’m sure you will.

I, like others here, have no real words to express how sorry I was to hear about this. I've been thinking about the entire family all week. You are in my thoughts. Know that you and yours are loved and oh so special.
