In Loving Memory of Kimberly Mendel Beck

My heart is aching for the Mendel family right now. Kim, their oldest daughter passed away on Sunday, leaving a loving husband and 5 beautiful children. Heather, my sister-in-law and Kim's younger sister has asked us to spread the word and post this pledge account.

While I didn't know Kim that well, every time I was with her I just felt happy. She was SO positive, fun, energetic, loving, compassionate, spiritual, and much more. She wrote the most beautiful poem for my niece Olivia's funeral last year and she was always doing such kind and thoughtful things for others. It is such a tragedy when such an amazing person is taken way too quickly. If you want more details about Kim and her life, there is a short bio posted on the Pledgie site.

Things like this always make me so incredibly grateful for the Gospel and the perspective it gives. Words almost can't describe how grateful I am for every single member of my family. I am also so grateful for my friends and all of the blessings I have been given. Lots of love from me to all of you!
