Treadwell family: I am so saddened by the loss of Kimmy. I have not talked to her in several years and was not even aware of her battle with cancer, but her passing has hit me very hard. I am without words that I was not better at keeping in touch and missed the opportunity to care for and say goodbye to such a life long friend. I can't think of a single childhood memory that doesn't have Kimmy in it. I remember the first day of kindergarten and Kimmy being the only one that came up to me to say hello. She took me by the hand and off we went, friends instantly. I remember her beautiful blonde hair, and perfectly round face, and her caring loving personality. Even at 5 yrs old, she could show someone exactly what it meant to love and to be a friend! And she never faltered from that, even as we grew up and went separate ways. Kimmy would always come back and check on me. I cannot get back the years I've lost with her, but please know I have kept her, as well as all of you, close to my heart over the years. It is rare I think to get the chance to have someone like Kimmy in your life. I am so very honored to have been able to call her my friend.
