Kim moved away from Tucson with her mother and two sisters, sometime in our sophmore year, I think, but they moved back in time for her to graduate with our class.
Kim spent a year in Mexico, to learn the language through immersion. She came back very fluent.
Kim and I renewed our friendship then, it lasted through the Uof A and beyond. Together we became "little sisters" at a fraternity where we made more good friends and each met the loves of our lives.
Kim was my roomate after UA graduation, and was a bridesmaid at my wedding in 1985. As we lined up in the hall to walk up the aisle, she kept whispering to me "It's not too late to change your mind"! (I didn't - still married 32 years later).
My husband joined the Air Force and we moved a few times. I lost touch with Kim along the way. I was looking forward to seeing her at our 20th reunion in 1998 and was so shocked and saddened to see her name on the memory list. I contacted her father and found out she had passed just a few months before.
Kim was a fun-loving, bubbly, silly person with a heart of gold. She was much more intelligent than she wanted people to think, and she made everything we did together more fun. She drew me out of my shell and got me to do things I never would have done on my own. I will always think of her fondly and wonder what chaos she's creating in the Great Beyond.
