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
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.
I’m so sorry, Paula😢❤️
