Such a fun first day of summer. ☀️ #bblakeday

Kimberly was the type of person who always made you laugh. We started working at the Tennessean at the same time and sat next to each other. I remember when we went through training, we would talk and laugh when we probably should have been watching training videos. (Looking back, I’m glad we did.) It only took a day for it to feel like we’d been friends for years.

Kimberly was confident, unapologetically herself, loyal to a fault, always talked about her best friend and parents, had sass and sarcasm. And most of all, genuinely cared.

She was my first friend when I moved to Nashville. I was at a job I didn’t love and we were both scared about being let go. (Company was doing layoffs.) And we were both going through some relationship stuff. She was the one I could talk to. She never judged me. And she was a friend when I really needed one.

The last time I talked to Kimberly was on my birthday. You know when someone is put on your heart and you think, “I need to reach out to her”—but you put it off. Today was a reminder to always reach out. Don’t put it off. Maybe God put that person on your heart for a reason. Life is fleeting so tell the ones you love how much they mean to you. 💗

I’m so grateful to have known you, Kimberly. Your funeral honored you so well, and you are so loved and will be so missed.

Happy Father’s Day to my Padre. 💗 @donmurphy_61
