  1. Kim i love u with all my heart u are my sister.. will never forget u. I know u are in peace now make sure u give mark a hug for me.. love u sister

  2. When I first met you at work I knew from that moment friends forever. The things we did at work and our outer work friendship amazing and I will cherish that in my heart always and forever. Meeting Daniel, there’s another amazing part of your life in your later years. You were so lucky to have that kind of love, which is very hard to find. Spread those angel wings and fly high while we down here know that you’re at peace.

  3. Kim I just want to say the you always will be in my heart! U always be love ! Please if you see my brother say hi for me I love you forever!

  4. Kimmy as I knew you growing up. I know as you got older you became Kim. We had the best time growing up together. You were my cousin but also my best friend. All the things we did and the fun we had. The never ending laughter and we could laugh forever. It was always a good time. I am very heartbroken; as I know everyone who knew you feels the same way. I wish we would have seen each other more often but we all get busy with this adventure we call life. I am glad that I will always have memories to go back to. It doesn’t seem fair that you were taken from us so soon. You fought hard like a warrior and kept going and although your body was giving up your spirit stayed strong. You are no longer sick or in pain. Fly high cousin! Watch over us and say hello to my parents for me! I will miss you dearly.
    Love you!

  5. “May The Road Rise Up To Meet You May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand”. (traditional gaelic blessing)

    Love, Tracy
