Some of the best work I ever did for Virginia's children and families was done in partnership with you. You taught me about rising above the barriers and reaching for something better for children, families and for myself. I am better for having known you. ?? Therese
Kim was such a wonderful support for me when I started work at VDSS as a policy specialist. We shared frustrations and successes as we worked toward providing guidance for the agencies of Virginia. She was such a pillar of strength and positive thinking as she fought for her own health. I am a much better person for having known and worked with Kim for those few years.
What a privilege I had of working with Kim with several different hats on: from CSA, newly created, to CSA, mature program in need of data-driven improvements. Her can-do spirit moved work and people forward. Heartfelt condolences to her family.
My sympathy and condolences to Kim's family. She had a rare gift for being positive, forward-thinking, and committed to working on behalf of Virginia's children. She made a difference in so many lives.
It was truly a privilege to work with Kim on CSA. She had such a vision for service for young people at risk and worked so effectively with multiple, diverse stakeholders in establishing CSA. I am among the many who learned about working with people while maintaining your vision from Kim. There are truly thousands of children whose lives are better because of Kim.
