An Angel Got Her Wings: Kim Kalicky

Some of you are familiar with Kim Kalicky’s story. I’ve written about her here in this space a number of times over the years and she also appeared in my book, Sin Boldly, in the chapter titled “Annus Horribilis.” (See Kim’s stories HERE. My original column about the Thanksgiving I spent with Kim and her family can be found HERE.)

Kim went home to Jesus last Friday after a brave and epic five-year battle with cancer.

Kim was a nurse, a mother, a wife, a beautiful believer. An inspiration to me. I am blessed to have known her even the little that I did.

She was full of light and joy and had the most infectious laugh. Kim reminded me of a real-life Tinkerbell. All she was missing was the wings. 

Please keep her husband, Tom, and their children — Sonny, Taylor, Jacob and her eldest son who’s name I can’t recall— and all those who knew and loved this magnificent woman in your prayers.
