Dear Mr. Howell,

I got the message from my mom about Kim and we were both so sad. I am Don and Dolores Storms daughter. My mom, Dolores, helps families with the funerals and does such a good job meeting with the family and arranging the church. The family picks a theme. I know she understands especially with close friends such as you. Please say Hi to Joanie and Joe. I saw Joanie in North Carolina in 1990. You can give her my email address. I will be praying for you.

Dear Mr. Tom, Joanie and Joey,

I was so sad to hear of your wife/mom’s passing.

When we lived in CA, I always loved coming to your house for dinner because your mom was such an awesome cook…once she taught my mom how to make bugogi and fried rice, they became a weekly favorite at our house.

You’re in my thoughts and prayers during your time of sorrow. I pray that God heal your hearts with all the joy-filled memories you have of your wife and mom.

Sincerely,

Kim Storm Barnes
