  1. Kim was a beautiful, loving and sweet child. Like all of us she had some challenges in her life that were very difficult to overcome despite the best efforts of her mother, Joan, her late father Gary as well as other friends and relatives who cared very deeply for her. We will remember her in her best moments of happiness and “Joy” forever. Uncle Jim and Aunt Jay

  2. My heart is broken to hear of Kim’s passing. My sincere condolences go out to her family.
    I last saw Kim at our high school reunion a few years ago. We had not seen each other in many years, and she approached me with open arms and her beautiful smile. She was so full of love and light, and seemed very happy and healthy.
    I will always hold on to my memories of Kim’s brilliant smile, her sparkling eyes and her love filled heart. Rest with the angels, my sweet friend.

  41. Muma I will never forget you, you were the brightest star in my life and you still are. I just found some of your clothes and papers and pictures in dad’s garage I’m wearing your pajamas right now and trying to smell one of your dresses the blue and brown striped one that looked so pretty on you omg I miss you so much. And I don’t know how many people think that you actually sniffed fentanyl but my mother wouldn’t even do that stuff with me, I know she was killed for the 3k in her pocket, they put fentanyl in her crack, and smoking crack doesn’t overdose you. I know this for a fact and just want to say that they will not get away with it.
