Kim Guggenheim … I miss you. Most songs remind me of you. Your cards, notes, and gifts will be forever cherished. I was mesmerized by your charm. And I remember when you sang the song you wrote about and for me … “Because of You.” Your messages to me that you felt the same about me as I felt about you are etched in my heart. You gave my life meaning. You are mine always. I am heartbroken. 💔
