This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

So sorry for your loss by mintirish

I read this message last night and I have been thinking of how to reply.

I have no idea what I can add other than being one more voice in the chorus sending our prayers and condolences. At my Grandmother's wake several years back my Dad pointed out to me to the number of people in attendance as a real testament to the number of lives my grandma had touched in a positive way. CJ - I hope you take and share all of these replies as a testament to the number of lives that Kimi has touched just via NDN besides the countless numbers she has inspired at hospitals across the country. Kimi's spirit touched us all - what a tremendous gift she had. Thank you again for sharing it with us throughout the years.
