Doing what she loved to do. Kim had a heart of gold. She loved people. You could always find her taking care of someone else. Whether it was one of her sisters, a niece, a nephew, or a good friend. Her servants’ heart was always shining through. For to not have had any children of her own, that “Mothering” instinct was always present.
