In Memoriam herself. Her unique presence and sense of humor have left an indelible mark on the world. I cherish the good times we shared and I am grateful to have had her in my life.” - Jennifer Raphael, Anticouni & Associates. “I met Kimberley when she first came to Santa Barbara and she immediately started giving back to a legal community that she just met by joining the board of Santa Barbara Women Lawyers. She was a wonderful woman and lawyer and she will be greatly missed.” - Cristi Michelon, Eaton, Jones & Michelon. “I enjoyed working with Kimberley over the past several months. I enjoyed every interaction that I had with her. Not only did she always go above and beyond to contribute her efforts on the case, but she also always had kind words to impart in each and every interaction that we had. I will truly miss her. I would like to express my condolences to her friends, colleagues, and family.” - Lani Levine, Kingsley & Kingsley APC. “Kimberley spent a year as an attorney with our office. While here, she immersed herself in the often byzantine issues inherent in a practice devoted to the analysis and litigation of insurance coverage issues, and she did so with determination and good humor. As a lawyer, she could be counted on to work hard, to do good work, and to always strive to do better. As a person, she was simply delightful.” - James M. McFaul, Minehan, McFaul & Fitch, LLP. “During the short time of my acquaintance with Kimberly as ‘opposing counsel,’ I found her to possess the highest professional standards and to be reliable in fulfilling agreements and carrying out commitments on matters of joint interest. And on matters where we could disagree, I was �� pleased to find that she was very professional in working through any such difficulties. I was very saddened on learning of her passing and realize that, not only will her law firm have difficulty replacing her, the State Bar has lost a wonderful officer of the court.” - John K. Skousen, Fisher & Phillips LLP. “I am the managing partner of Murphy Rosen & Meylan, LLP. Prior to starting our firm in 2003, I was a partner at a different law firm and Kimberley worked for that firm as a summer associate. I was able to work with Kimberley during her summer there and I immediately recognized her promise. I also felt her outlook and demeanor were refreshingly positive and optimistic. She was not only smart and diligent, but genuinely a joy to be around (which some consider a rare trait in our business). When I decided to start my own firm, I thought she would fit my new firm perfectly. During her stay here, she continuously met and exceeded our expectations. She would gladly pitch in on any task that needed to be accomplished, whether it was legal or management in nature. I will always be indebted to her for her contributions to our firm and the positive attitude she not just exuded but spread by her very presence. It was infectious, and when she left our firm to move to Ventura, she was greatly missed.” - Paul Murphy, Murphy Rosen & Meylan, LLP. “I saw Kimberley every day for about a year when we practiced in the same firm. My first impression — which I never lost — was that she was too nice to be an attorney, but too smart not to be one, and since we always seem to be short of attorneys who have both traits, I thought she’d be very successful. We befriended each other over our love of animals. We bantered over our differing tastes in music. I always envied how close she was to her family. I always expected that she would become a star in the local legal community, and I looked forward to watching that happen. My sadness is a drop in the bucket compared to the grief that her family and closest friends must feel, but it’s incomprehensible that she’s not here any more.” - Will Tomlinson, Attorney. “With great sadness The Santa Barbara Women Lawyers mourns the loss of one of our own. As a member of the SBWL Board of Directors, Kimberley was gracious and dedicated. As a friend and colleague, she was irreplaceable. She will be missed by SBWL and the legal community as a whole.” - The 2010 Santa Barbara Women Lawyers Board of Directors. 18 Santa Barbara Lawyer
