The beach was her sanctuary, a place where she could escape the pressures of everyday life and embrace the simple pleasures that the world had to offer.

Grilling was one of Kim's passions, a skill she mastered with precision and flair. Whether it was a summer cookout or a casual get-together, she delighted in preparing mouthwatering dishes that brought people together.
