peace
I am incredibly sad that James did not survive. May his family and friends find some peace. May all of us find some peace.
{I know that many of you would like to do something to help the Kim family. My sister, mom and I are trying to organize some sort of art/craft fundraiser. We will keep you updated.}

amen.

That is tragic, I was so hoping they'd find him after he left his trail. He sounds like he was a really devoted husband and father. May the Kim family find peace.

When I read about this, my heart sunk...I'm so sorry for his beautiful wife and 2 little girls. I will be praying for them.

Bless the children and bless Kati, and their extended families and friends. I'm so incredibly sad and sorry to hear of this loss.
I pray they all find comfort in knowing how much he clearly loved them.
Peace, indeed.

My heart sank as I read your words. I have been following the story and just an hour ago it seems checked the website and there was not yet news. Sorrow upon sorrow. I can't imagine the gaping, raw sense of loss the family, especially Kati, must be feeling and my heart so goes out to them.

God Bless them and help them to recover from this tragic ending and may they find peace within themselves.. and also know that they have a huge support network here who are here for them and love them and CARE!!

In this time of sorrow, we must be thankful for the courage of Kati. I am in awe of how she kept those babies alive and well. If she could do that, she will survive this.

I am profoundly saddened by Jame's death. The Kim family will continue to be in my thoughts for a very long time. Comfort and peace to Kati, their children, their family & friends, and all of us who were so very touched by their story.

Steph, can we send donations? Set up a fund?
Posted by:wyetta leigh | December 06, 2006 at 02:29 PM
Wyetta,
A fund has been established by friends of the family. You can read about it and make a donation at www.jamesandkati.com
Posted by:Sarah | December 06, 2006 at 02:44 PM
yes, the news was terrible. They were so young and the girls are so young. I am sure she will need some help financially to raise those babies.
So getting an fund rasier together sounds wonderful.
Posted by:callie | December 06, 2006 at 02:54 PM
Count me in for any any any help with the fundraising efforts. I am deeply saddened by all of this and willing to extend whatever help I can to help Kati and her beautiful girls.
Posted by:mo | December 06, 2006 at 03:10 PM
This story breaks my heart. Both Kati & James were extremely resourceful to keep their children alive. They did their best and I pray that Kati realizes this and lives in peace. I will most definitely support your fundraising effort and I will make a donation on their site now. I love your work!

This is so very sad. A craft fund raiser sounds like a great idea.
Amen

That sounds like a wonderful idea. I would love to be a part of it.
