She\u2019s always helping someone. She goes above and beyond. People she doesn\u2019t even know come back to thank her for how she helped them. They send her Christmas cards, they bring her fruit and vegetables. She\u2019s had people drive in from Georgia to say thank you. There\u2019s no one a bigger helper than Kim Killen.
