Dennis, Christy, Tracey so sorry for your loss. I loved Kim very much. She is a very special person. She loved life and her family so very much. She will be missed so much. It was my pleasure to be able to call her my friend. Rest in peace Kim. Dan &Denise Ream
Denny, we are so sorry for your loss. Kim was such a sweet person! When Anna was sick, she was so kind in trying to do anything she could to help. Sending prayers to you and your children during this difficult time. Butch & Susie Fulford
Denny, Tracey and Christy,
I hardly know you and Kim and I had just renewed our high school friendship when she began to get sick. She was such a sweet person and I so enjoyed talking with her. She stopped by my home a couple times, trying to fix an old laptop of mine and we would stand out in the garden and talk and talk. I’m going to miss her but I know it is not even close to how you are going to miss her. She loves you all so much. I’m so sorry.
Will miss you greatly Roz!! Den, Tracey and Kristy – thank you for sharing Kim with us, especially the last many weeks. Will miss our monthly (sometimes weekly!!) breakfasts and lunches sitting in the far corners so we could laugh and talk freely!! She was more amazing than words can say and will be greatly missed by all that knew her! Many continued prayers for the family!!
Sometimes in life we are lucky enough to have true, lasting friendships. Kim was mine. For 47 years we meandered in and out of each other’s lives, always able to start up the conversation and laughs right where we left off. She was truly a special spirit and I will always hold our memories close in my heart. Love you my friend.
Rest well sweet Kim. The old red pick-up truck is waiting at the gates of Heaven

Hey grandma I miss you and even though you watching me type this the only way you can tell I’m feeling it is because I’m crying and I’m 2 years older now and if I could bring 1 person back in this world it would be you because you always did so much for me and I still don’t know how how to thank you enough I love you and grandma and I’m 11 and I got a ferret and a new dog I love you grandma and I will always know how to talk to you ߘ
