I'd like to extend my deepest condolences to Hye Jin's family.  I was a childhood friend of Hye Jin's and have lost touch over the years and just recently heard about her passing.  I'm deeply saddened by this news as I have such good memories of Hye Jin growing up together.  She has always been such a kindhearted, genuine, and sincere person who treated everyone with respect.  I've always thought about Hye Jin throughout the years and I will never forget her beautiful spirit and kind heart.  Hye Jin will be greatly missed to all who have been fortunate enough to know her.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .

So saddened to learn about Hye Jin's passing. We were nursing students together at Shoreline CC. She was a friendly, caring, and patient person. She would invite me over to her equally friendly aunt's home for dinners and then we would work on some nursing projects together. I also had the privilege of meeting her sisters. You all are in my thoughts.

I went to nursing school with Hye Jin, she was such a sweet person. I am very saddened by her death and wish the family love and comfort during this difficult time. She was a very special person and will be sorely missed.

I just learned today of Hye Jin's passing.  I am devasted and shocked.  I am so sorry for her family's loss.  Hye Jin was one of the sweetest women I've known.  We went to nursing school together and spent many hours studying for our classes.  She was always so thoughtful and kind - to both classmates and our patients.

Hye Jin. You were always so sweet and gentle, especially with Moses and Daisy. I remember the time I had dinner at your house. You and Sunny made a feast of roasted vegetables! It was a lovely evening. My heart aches for your family at this time of profound loss.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Tabnee. I went to school with her and recall a really sweet, quiet, genuine girl. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I too had the honor and pleasure of knowing Tabnee in high school at Verde Valley School.  Her presence on this earth is and was such a blessing. It is with deep sadness in my heart that I write this. My sincerest condolences to the Kim family. Tabnee will certainly be missed.

I am really going to miss seeing her smile. She was a very friendly co-worker. I am very sad about her passing so soon.

I feel truley blessed to have known Hye Jin. She was amazing. She will always be in my heart, and forever missed.

Thank you for your kindness and patience.

I knew Hye as "flower" or "gentle hands" because I could never pronounce her name.  Her death has devastated every one that knew her and her beautiful family.  I pray that they find peace in their harts,  knowing that she is in the arms of the Lord and that one day they will meet again in heaven where they will never have to be separated.  I hope that the family concentrate in all the good memories that they all shared throughout her life.  She will be missed by all that cross her path, her gentle ways, soft voice and warm heart will  stay with all of us that were lucky enough to meet her.  I hope that you all know that you are loved by all of us that know you.  Lidia Perry

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

To the Kim family: We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Hye Jin.  Our love and condolences go out to all of you.

I knew Tabnee in high school. We shared a lot of wonderful and happy times there playing soccer, riding horses, running and hiking with the dogs. I remember her laughing and smiling, white socks dusty with red earth, calling to Chaka, hugging friends. I will always remember her strength and kindness and wisdom. She was fiercely loyal to those she loved and a gentle soul. I am lucky to have been able to call Tabnee my good friend. It is with sadness that I hear of her passing. I will miss her deeply.

We are so sorry for the Kim family. Hye Jin was a super nice caring girl. My wife worked with her at Fred Meyer. She was always a friend to my wife Tomorah and my wife was heartbroken when she heard the news of her untimely death.  She was a beautiful girl and she will be missed. Love to the Kim family.

Tab--my first room mate and VVS friend. You opened your arms to me as I stumbled into your life. Your beautiful face and soul will forever live in my heart--I cherish our time together.

Tabnee,
You were a great friend, and I will always treasure our time on West Patio. Although we had loss touch over the years, your passing will be felt in our close community.

Tab, it was my good fortune to know you and to learn from you.  I could not have had a better room mate or friend.  Your sweet nature, your kind words and your thoughtfulness were your hallmarks.

I went to highschool with Tabnee in Sedona.  I doubt there was a day that she took the beauty of that place for granted.  She is a kind, gentle soul.  I have never met anyone quite like her and often think about the many quiet walks we enjoyed together.  A true animal lover.  A lover of art and the most gentle of all people.

Hyejin's quiet beauty, her gentle way, her careful, attentive grace, her love of music, her countless kindnesses to my dog Miles and to me: all these things I will miss. Hyejin, I wish you peace and will hold you in my heart always. I am blessed to have known you.
