Abby, so excited for all those who get to be a part of your life in college ...and that Sulki 언니's legacy of kindness, deep interest in others, generosity, laughter and love for Jesus will continue to spread through those who she loved the most and knew her best-her family.  May God continue to heal your hearts🙏🏼

This news comes as a shock to me. I was a student of hers back in 2019 at Vanguard University. I was searching for information about her because I wanted to request a letter of recommendation from her as she impacted my learning and growth as an individual and student. This is not what I was expecting to find. 

Every time I tell college stories to friends or family I always mention Professor Kim. In fact she's the reason I want to start my own practice someday. She always encouraged me and other students to think bigger and to always ask questions.

My heart goes out to all of Professor Kims loved ones. 
She had an energy about her that was unmatched. Her wisdom and intelligence were intimidating, but she was so so kind, an outstanding professor and a rockstar of a mentor. She pushed me to think out side the box and motivated me to seek out help when I was in a deep depression. If it wasn't for her i'm not sure if I would be here right now. Wish I would have been able to tell her that.

Lots of love,

Paula Barraza

I Hope this photo of Sulki encourages and comforts her family and friends.   Just one look and you know  you are Loved and you are doing a good job :)  She is still cheering us all on!  Hebrews 12:1-2

I am so sorry to hear of Sulki's passing. I first met her at UC Davis when we were both in the Young Scholars Program.

Sulki and I worked at the same lab. I was terribly shy as a teen, and Sulki's infectious laughter, zest for life, and kindness really drew me out. I remember the two of us laughing as we rode our clunky standard issue UC Davis 'Bike Barn' bikes to work (Sulki insisted we name them after cows).

Though I hadn't been in contact with Sulki in later years, I always remember her as a shining star, the type of person who makes an indelibly positive mark on you.

We are so saddened to hear of Sulki’s passing.  Please accept our sincerest condolence's. You are in our thoughts during this difficult time.    The Keir’s (Dana, Gail and Chase - CMS Soccer)

Charles,

Diana and I were saddened to hear of Sulki’s passing .   I still remember the craziness of our young kids and sharing in those moments at CMC.   Please accept our condolences and hopefully you find solace in knowing that she is now resting with the Lord.

Dear Charles, Kunsan, and Kim family: thank you for sharing your precious memories of Sulki with us today. She was the older sister figure I never had and I always admired her. I wanted to be like her when I grew up! I can’t think of my time in Fresno without thinking of Sulki’s dimples and smile. When I first moved there in high school, I was just relieved there was another Korean family at Clovis West. Little did I know that we would become friends and serve on the worship team together. And even though we lost touch over the years, I always knew she was making an amazing impact wherever she was. She will be missed.

We miss Sulki already.

Her smile, her joy, her positivity, her dimples, her everything.

It’s not fair.

Love,
The Jones-Kaus

Charles,

I have no words...I can't even begin to imagine the pain you're experiencing, or the grief that is probably coming at you like unrelenting waves...I am so deeply, deeply sorry for your loss. Gosh, it's been a minute, hasn't it? But seeing that picture of Sulki takes me right back to years ago...I remember her cheery disposition, her warm smile, and her contagious laugh. Who can forget that laugh! Hold tight to all the sweet memories. Praying for you and your family...

       Our paths crossed when both our girls were in rhythmic gymnastics. Sulki, I used to call her Abby's mom, was so genuine, positive, and generous. Her smile was like a beam of sunshine, always warm and bright! I feel sorrowful and shocked knowing that she had left us too soon. Praying that your family will find peace, strength, and comfort, assuring that Sulki is now with the Lord until we meet again. 

Dear Charles,
I can’t believe that I have been so near to you these past several years and I never got to meet Sulki.  I am heartbroken for you and your family.  I pray that you will have the strength and faith to get through these difficult times.

God bless,
Halim

I am sad that I won't be able to attend Sulki's memorial, but I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to her family during this time of such profound loss. 

I was the chair of the Psychology Department at Vanguard University when I met dear Sulki many years ago. I will always remember the first time she walked into my office. She was such a delightful and lovely individual, and we connected immediately. She taught briefly as an adjunct because she wisely wanted to spend time focusing on her family while her kids were younger, and we were thrilled when she was able to come back and be with us full-time. She was a treasured part of our Vanguard family, loved by students, faculty, and staff, and our hearts break with yours as we face the reality of her absence from our lives. She truly did make the world a better place, and we miss her tremendously.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am so surprised to hear about the sudden passing of your wife. Please remember that you are not alone and all MC OLA are here for you if you need anything. My thoughts and prayers are always with you.

Out of  the body, into His bosom.  Rest in peace dear sister Sulki.

To Sulki's family, 
May our Lord Jesus Christ be your comfort during this difficult time.

Yours in Christ,
Richard & Gladis Hwang

Hi Charles,

Our sincerest condolences to you and your family.  There are no real words.  We have been getting updates through Anne and Justin, and have been praying and will continue to pray for you and your family.

In Christ,

Ed & Maryanne



Dear Charles,
Tears stream and memories flood into my mind with joyful thoughts of your beautiful wife. Sulki will be remembered by anyone who has the privilege of knowing her. I remain in utter shock at your loss and will continue to lift you, Nathan and Abby. 
Love,
Sarah Shin

Sulki is an amazing woman & friend - I will always remember her warmth, how accepted she made you feel, just for who you are (no judgment), and how thoughtful & caring she was... she commented on how pretty I looked at HER own wedding (!) :) She was also really fun to be with - I remember we tried a hip hop dance class at Ballys when both of us were in grad school, and we walked in (it wasn't the 1st session), so we tried to catch up, but had so much fun making a fool out of ourselves & sweating (which was the point)! ;)

Regardless of how often we would meet or talk, she was one of those friends where you could pick up where you left off as if no time had passed... and that's how it was in September 2021 when I saw her at our college Pathfinder reunion, told her I was dating someone I was going to marry (!) and after chatting excitedly with delight for a few minutes, we promised each other to meet up separately (and we did, so we could really catch up and she could meet my soon-to-be-husband Jack).

A few months later, she joyfully attended my wedding (which was about 22.5 years after hers) - such a true friend, who showed me how to love others & give generously of herself b/c she had so much love to give! I will miss her dearly and hope that her legacy of love and caring continues on through those of us who were loved by her.

Dear Charles, Nathan, and Abby
I met Sulki once at a CMS soccer game. We talked. Her intelligence, energy, and kindness was evident instantaneously. She was so nice to me and my son Nico who attends HMC. She was incredibly supportive and empathetic regarding his academic rigor (she was a former HMC student). Her smile and her energy was contagious. I remember driving home that night thinking how lucky we are to meet such wonderful people by being the parents of college students:). I was looking forward to spending more time with Sulki. She lit up my world that night and I can only imagine what she for others and her family. I am so sorry for your loss. Nicte Flores/Del Villar.

When Andy and I got married, Sulki proudly delivered a waffle maker that she promised was the best on the market; she had road-tested others, and the All-Clad four-square waffle iron was the only one that met her standard. She has since gifted us a noodle machine (she had Charles drive it over) which we used heavily once covid lockdown hit, an Our Place pan to use on our new convection range, and, most recently, a beautiful electric milk frother. Whenever Sulki found something she loved, she wanted everyone she loved to experience it too. So being loved by her meant being on the receiving end of one wonderful thing or meal or experience after another. It is impossible to say goodbye to Sulki when she is so much a part of me and who, since I was a little girl, built me up in her enthusiastic love and generosity. My whole heart to her family and to Nate, Abby, and Charles. 

Dear Charles, Nathan, and Abby,

  It has been a long time since you lived in Canada, but I will always treasure the love and kindness shown to me while you were here and when I visited you a few years after you had moved back. Your entire family always showed so much love to all those around you and it had such a powerful effect on me and so many others. Sharon and I are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers.

Much love,
Peter Choi

I was so lucky to have known Sulki in middle school and in high school. She was an amazing person: a star student voted "Most Likely to Succeed," an excellent athlete and so kind and considerate. She was a really good friend -- the type of person who would always be there for you. I remember playing a lot of grass volleyball games with Eugene, Kunsan, Ryan and her. Her laugh was infectious and she was always reliably positive and upbeat. 

Sulki -- you've left such a mark on this world and many of us (including me) will miss you sorely. 

I am so sorry for your loss. Sulki had a presence that was larger than life. She was one of my older sisters at a church during college. We reconnected at Crossway. She never failed to flash me one of her huge smiles and make me feel like seeing me was the highlight of her day.  I bet her smile is lighting up heaven right now. 

밝은 햇살같은 미소와 항상 작은일에도 소중한 의미와 행복을 찾던 나의 친구 슬기야. 
우리가 지금 너무 슬플지라도 너와 함께 나누었던 삶의 기억속에 밝은 빛이 우리를 비출 거라 믿으면서 갈수 있어 감사해. 
정말 많이 보고 싶을꺼야. 사랑한다 친구야. 




Dear Charles, Nate and Abby,
 Our hearts break with yours to grief the loss of our beloved Sulki. We will never forget her big contagious laugh, wisdom and big heart. Tears are rolling down my face as I type this. May you find comfort to know that she is with our Lord and will never be forgotten. 
Norma & Foster

We were so blessed to know Sulki—see her beautiful smile, hear her beautiful voice, and laugh together. We miss her dearly, and grieve with the family. Praying over the family during this difficult time. 

The memory of your smile will forever be in our hearts. We are thankful for knowing you in this lifetime. May your spirit always be with your family and protect them. 

Love the Lea Family 💗

I am so saddened for your loss, Charles, and you and your family are in our thoughts. You have our deepest condolences.
