I love you more than I could have ever expressed. Fly high sister & watch over us.
Kim was not only my wife, she was my best friend. I am so lucky that she married me. She was the most unique person I have ever known. I will never stop loving her. My heart is killing me.
As we go through life and you interact with people, the main thing you remember is how that person made you feel.
Kim always made me feel good when I was around her.
Kim was a special niece. Always pleasant, full of life and had a charming smile.
She had a special place in my heart.
Kim had the ability to engage you in a conversation, even when you didn’t feel like talking, and she always left you glad she stopped to talk.
You simply couldn’t talk with her without ending up smiling and feeling better.
One of my favorite memories of Kim was when we were on a cruise with all the Calton family and Kim wanted to do some parasailing.
She talked me into going with her. I was a little scared, but not Kim.
We had a so much fun.
Sharing that adventure with Kim, helped make her very special to me.
I loved Kim and I will never forget her.
Kim always made me laugh. I can hear her laugh every time I think of her. She is so precious to me. Loved that girl from the time she was born. She will always have a special place in my heart.
Butch, she has told me that story more than once. She loved that moment, and she loved you.
Anna, I can still hear her laugh too.
Kevin, you brought so much happiness to Kim’s life. We were all so pleased when you made Kim your wife. You both were a delight to the whole family. Kim left us way to soon. We are so sorry for your loss.
Kimberly was a friend to everyone. She always made sure she talked to everyone. She lit up the room. I remember when she was little, David and Kim always playing on the stairs. I had to keep and eye on them to make sure they didn’t get too high. The two of them always had a great time playing with the cars, trucks and figures.
If they were not on the stairs they were playing in a large closet they called a cabin. She gave me so many good memories.
