Kim was an avid sports fan and loved the Nationals and Capitals, however her most favorite teams where the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Redskins. Her perfect day would include family, her beloved animals, hot crabs, a cold Rolling Rock beer and football with her favorite teams winning their games. Kim had a tremendous soul and spirit.
