To the family of Kim, you don’t know me. I remember when Kim and her family moved to 76th street she was just a kid in Ozone Park. I lived 2nd house from the corner. I’m so sorry for your lost.
My most sincere condolences to Kim’s family and her school family. I met Kim at JHS 210 when we were in the 7th grade and went on to attended Lane together. Although we lost touch after HS, I can see that her fiery spirit has served her and hundreds of children and their families well. A life well lived, but very sadly, all too short.
