PLACENTIA, Calif. — The pictures on display behind the row of candles show a glowing, smiling woman. That is how friends and family recalled 38-year-old Nicol Kimura at a vigil on Sunday evening, a week after she and 57 others were killed in the Las Vegas concert massacre. Carrying cream-colored candles, at least 200 people gathered outside an elementary school that Kimura attended when she was a child in the community of Placentia. They smiled at the shining photos of Kimura and shared stories of trips to baseball games and shopping sprees. And they sobbed recalling the senseless loss of the fun-loving, affectionate woman known as an “auntie” to her friends’ children and for her generous heart and free spirit.
