Kimme,

The battle is now over, it’s time to finally let go
Let the weight lift off you, to set you free at last
You touched our lives in many different ways
Your strength was an infection, helping us all rise

With courage you lead, inspiring greatness in others
With determination you fought, giving us all hope
With admiration you spoke, making us feel special
With love you smiled, making us all family

I will never forget the day we met,
I will never forget those special times,
I will never forget the day I said goodbye
I will simply just never forget.

Rest in peace my friend.

With love,

Zoe
