Good afternoon. On behalf of our family and particularly our four sons, I would like to welcome you and thank you for being here to celebrate Kim’s incredible life and join with us in expressing our admiration and love for her.

As my dad mentioned, and as these sorts of situations tend to do, we’ve been reminiscing a lot, and I’ve been thinking a lot. Being in the thick of grief gives you a new perspective.

Too much needs to be expressed to do your life justice. No amount of praise which you so deeply deserve could encapsulate your life, especially given the difficultly of doing so in only one day, one celebration, one statement from only one of your sons.

To encapsulate in just a few words the beautiful life my friend (Dr. Roos) lived, would be impossible. I will focus on sharing some of the things that were most remarkable to me.
