Whatever we thought we were doing for Mary Kim she returned tenfold, she spread joy and love into the world like no other. Truly an amazing gift sent from God. She has returned to heaven now but there is no doubt she will still be impacting the lives of all that knew her.
"We thought we saved you, but you saved us! You taught us about inclusion, happiness, and love. Your body may have failed, but your mind and spirit were all there. Your laugh was infectious and so beautiful. You left this world so much brighter! Rest in peace baby girl. Love you to the moon and back.”
She is survived by her mom, Sandra (Steve) Babbitt; dad, Michael Barnes; siblings: Jeffery (& Amy) Barnes, Shawn (& Amy) Barnes, Rebecca (& David) Schmidt, Greg Barnes (& Rebbecca Westover), Jessy (& Brian) Snyder; her care givers, Angela Helmer and family and all of her house friends.
A private service will take place. Interment will take place in Spring Lake Township cemetery. Memorial contributions in memory of Mary Kim may be given to Indian Trails Camp. Please sign the family’s online guestbook at http://www.sytsemafh.com.
