My Sister Kim

Some of you may know that I experienced the absolute worst thing in my life this past May. I lost my beautiful sister, Kim, 42, to breast cancer. I sit here and type this with tears streaming down my face because there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. That i don't wish she were here to share in all of our wacky family shenanigans!! She had the best shenanigans sometimes and taught me most of what I know.

Kimmie didn't have a Facebook page but if you go to my myspace page www.myspace.com/jr8fan500 then you will see her. She is my first friend. She was always my first friend and I have a void in my heart now that she is gone, that I don't think will ever be filled again. She was loved by so many people, that her funeral was standing room only. The earth is a little dimmer without her presence and my only saving grace is that I know I now have an angel watching over me.

I am writing this, to let you all know that Kim's best friend Gayle (she is on my friends list) has organized a team to walk the 3-day Breast Cancer walk in Tampa at the end of Oct. Gayle and Kim did this walk a few years ago, and I remember being so proud of them for doing this, for raising money so eradicate this awful disease. Well, now Gayle is going solo and I am begging you to give to her walk effort. If I can save another family from feeling this torment, then I want to do my part. No one should have to lose a loved one in the prime of their life. No daughter should be without her mother, no sister should be without her best friend, and no parent should have to bury their child.

You guys are all my friends, and I don't ever ask for much. But I am asking for this. Please support Gayle and my family in this effort. I thank and love all of you!
