My sisters and I are so sadden to hear the passing of "our" Kim as we were talk so fondly of her. Kim was welcomed into our family with open arms as she took care of our Mother, Edna, at her home at Hess Lake. My mother thought of her as one more daughter. Kim came in and took care of Mom and gave me the chance to be able to enjoy my Mom in her last years after her stroke and would even do a Sunday service with her. One time she even help Mom with a squirt gun to spray at the son-in-laws when they came to visit. She was always a lot of fun! Kim was such an amazing person of strength and love of her God and family. She talked of all of you often with great pride! We just had lunch with her this past November and sat and talked for a couple of hours. We loved to see her and catch up. She trust the light in God to take her on her journey to someday join her family that went before her in heaven. Just remember she will be the whisper of the leaves as walk outside, the breath in the air on a cold winter's day, we will remember her to the sound of the rain that lulls us to sleep, the warm breeze as it hits our face and the colors of the rainbow when we see them...it will be your Mom, Grandma, sister and our friend. Your Mom was your first love, your first friend, but nothing will separate you, not time, not space...not even death. Please know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers through these difficult days ahead but rejoice in knowing she is at peace and will always be with you.
