The news of Kim McLagan's death has left me deeply saddened.
Kim was born Patricia Kerrigan and grew up on her parents' tea plantation in Malaysia.
However they eventually moved back to England, where Kim pursued her modeling career.
Kim later married the late - and great - Keith Moon.
Together they had a daughter, Mandy.
Kim and Keith eventually divorced, although Keith loved her very much - but only in the way Keith could.
After Keith's death in 1978, Kim married Ian McLagan, keyboard player for the sixties rock and roll band, The Small Faces.
They settled in Austin, Texas in 1994 where Kim was an esthetician at a spa that she owned and operated.
Yesterday Kim died suddenly in a tragic car accident.
I have sent prayers for Ian, Mandy and the rest of Kim's family.
After thirty years, Keith finally has Kim back...
awe that was a nice tribute dale..keith will look after her now..
ReplyDeleteI just read about this at Rachel's. Very sad, lovely sentiment here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a truly lovely tribute to a truly lovely lady, Dale...Keith had better be good to her now...I'm sure he will, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice picture you found of her. What tragic news.
ReplyDelete"but only in the way that Keith could." That makes me sad cuz it's true.

ReplyDeleteI think that I am sufficiently recovered from the tragic news.
It was like a shovel to my head...
I am taking a moment between jobs to post a comment here and there.
Then it's back to work for me doing the last minute stuff before Bob, Jen and I leave for Montreal early tomorrow morning.
I have to clean the fish bowl...
Clean the pig cage...
Clean the kitty litty...
I have to fold laundry and put it away...
I have to pack me...
I have to help pack Bob...
Jen has been packed for a week... my little go-getter that she is.
Then I have to wash sheets and make beds... hardly my favourite.
The list goes on and, if I keep going on, I'll never get going.
I'll blog from Mum and Dad's if I can!
I'll try to keep up on my Angus page...

Lovely tribute.

Hi Dale, hope you've arrived safe and sound..let us know how you're doing sooooon..xx
ReplyDeleteHi Dale,
ReplyDeletethis is the first time I look on your blog. Thank you for the remember of Kim. I had no information about the story of Kim and Keith. I think both find to talk together in heaven. Here in Germany we could'nt read about a lot of these things. This is the best with the internet, I could find a lot of interesting stories. If you have some time you could visit my or my daughters blog (crazycharly).
All the best from Germany
Stefan
Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteKeith just banged his drumset
really loud from what I hear
over yonder down here in Florida's
thunder.I think him and Kim are
gettin' it on already!:)
Seriously.Sad news.We all should
wear helmets and armour as we
drive in our plasticized crumple
machines :(
But the spirit lives on as she
was a wonderful human being.
My prayers to her friends and
family she left behind.
Gorgeous snowy pic I must say.
DAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...where for art thou????....
ReplyDeletePlease remove the comment "Keith finally has her back". It is terribly insensitive considering that she was happily married to Ian for 28 years!
ReplyDeleteBad taste award in spades.
