I had no idea.... Kim was one of the first people who really encouraged me to step out beyond the free WP hosting. She did it in the most understanding and encouraging way... taking time to figure out where I was, what I was doing and what would help me. Seemed anytime I tweeted about a concern or issue she was there to help. Sorry for the loss in the community.

Since I work in agriculture, Kim and I would often trade tales of rural life and farmers, many of whom have come to embrace blogging and other forms of social media in the last several years as people desired to learn more about where their food comes from. Kim's undertanding of both of those really helped me challenge myself and forge a path forward that let me develop a self-hosted site. She will certainly be missed.
