My sincere condolences to Lucy, Valentine & all the family. The memory I want to keep of Kim, is the pair of us waiting for our girls to finish their horse riding lessons a few years ago. We are lying on straw bales, watching the clouds go by and putting the world to rights. I can still hear Kim laughing. You will be greatly missed Kim.

This is the saddest news. Please accept my sincere condolences as an old friend and colleague from Kim's time at the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph in the 1980s. Kim was such a fun person to be with, with a wonderful sense of humour. She lit up a room. What a terrible loss. All thoughts are with her loving and loved family.
