Hi All

Well Kim's words have already affected many...but that was a given we knew she would.

I thought I would put some comments up from people that have either emailed or spoken to me about the book. I find it hard at first to think that people did not know how bad things were but as I reflect when someone asked I would say something like. "oh it is not too bad, Kim is strong" You see Kim's main worry was me and the centre and what would happen after she was gone. It appears that losing her has strengthen the club resolve to stick together, a credit to all for the loyalty shown to Kim amd I.

So here it goes.

"Thank you. After reading Kim's stories, I hope that I am not also
looking into a crystal ball, as she put it. Being a librarian, I
especially appreciate Kim's writing. How wonderful that she left a book
as a tangible legacy. What a heartbreaking loss for everyone.

"Hey Rob, it's Renae.
I didn't want to say anything to you at the centre but I have finished Kim's book and I am so proud to have known her. It is blatantly obvious why you miss her so much. An incredible partner like her is hard to come by. I know I read the draft copy but this version seems so much more....... I'm not sure what the word is to describe more.......just more! She was years ahead of herself and others twice her age. I only hope that I can appreciate the simple things in life as much as Kim realised what it is that is important...!

"Wow what an amazing book. I feel priviliged to have hold of a copy earlier than the official date. Couldn't wait to read it. Amazing talent from someone so young but with such amazing ability. Kim you will never be forgotten darling you will live on in our hearts forever,
