My thoughts go out to Umma Kim's two daughters and entire family. I have known Umma Kim for a long time. She was the most caring and hard working person I know. I feel blessed and honored to have known Umma Kim and her motherly friendship. I will treasure our friendship and good memories forever. Thank you Umma for all of your kindness and have a good rest!
