years, before her health forced her to give it up.\u00a0 Until then, she worked tirelessly to rebuild and keep our web site current.\u00a0 Kim lost her battle with lung cancer Tuesday morning (November 17).\u00a0 Kim was a strong supporter of DSA, and her husband, David related to me that Dog Scouts meant the world to her.\u00a0 She was so thankful for all that she learned through DSA, and for receiving the Nikki Zweber memorial scholarship in 2013, so that she could attend camp in Michigan.\u00a0 Kim called me a few weeks ago to let me know that she was going to take a trip to the Smokey Mountains to celebrate her anniversary.\u00a0 David said that it was a lifelong desire of hers to go there.\u00a0 She rallied all her strength to make the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Kim is survived by her husband, David, children Amanda, Cory and\u00a0Christine, and their pack of 5 fur kids: Aussies, Faith and Tonto (DSA),\u00a0BC Mix, Scout, Wirehaired Dachshie mix, Goobie, and\u00a0 St. Bernard, Zachary.\u00a0 If you would like to send card to the family, it can go to David Hovey, 222, Kent Rd, Lakeland, FL\u00a0 33809.<sup>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0
