To the Family Members,
My prayers go out to you, I was simply reading the Sunday morning paper. The only reason Kym's obituary caught my eye was because of the birth date and I thought: "That's pretty young." As I read, I discovered that Kym and I were in the same WSU Master's in Administration program back in 2001. I visited her at Hudson's Bay. We were on many group projects together. Good picture choice, as that is exactly how I will always remember her. - Kieth Lee
