In Memoriam - Kimberly Ellen Hessey
It is with sad hearts that we say goodbye to our friend and colleague, Kim Hessey. Kim lost her battle with cancer on Sunday, December 11th. Kim was a long-time member of VBTA and served on the Board of Directors. Her smile and personality were a breath of fresh air for many of us. We will recognize her contributions to our Chapter during our meeting on January 18th. The Board of Directors has made a donation to the Susan Komen Foundation on behalf of our entire membership in Kim's honor.
