Dear Betty Jo, Glenn, Ali, Dan, Rae, and Rob.
Kim was in my thoughts and prayers for a very long time. She fought so bravely and was such an example of courage to everyone. She is at peace with our heavely Father and she is without pain and suffering. Her beautiful smile and shining spirit will soar in the heavens and she is at peace. She went ahead of us on her journey but she will be waiting for all of us. I know that this has been the most difficult thing you have ever had to face and I pray that God will give you strength, understanding beyond measure and that he will grant you peace within your hearts.
My deepest sympathy and love,
Bonnie

Danny,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Although it has been many years since we last spoke it does not diminish my feelings of sympathy. May you find strength from the love of both family and friends to get you through this most tragic time.

To the entire family of Kim, I was a schoolmate of Kim, and remember her Smile, her friendliness to others always, many years have passed of course since our 1981 graduation, but memories, old school pictures and yearbooks are with us for a lifetime. God is surely keeping her painfree now. May you all be blessed with the Good memories with your hearts not tears, i lost my grandmother ( bestfriend) in 1995, and i fully believe that with each story i tell of her/ to others she lives still, i keep her alive in my heart, mind and with sharing events in her life to others who had never met her/ may feel like they did.,so keep Kim constant on your tongue as well as in your heart and it will help as it does with me, to feel close as you remember her life- tell people all about her / her loves,/ her accomplishments / her beauty/ I feel like keeping them close-makes them not feel far away. From An old friend from the past. Lisa Dollar

I am so sorry to hear that Mrs. Machado passed away. She was so courageous. I remember talking to her last month at the Cape Cod Regional tournament about the diagnosis the doctors had given her the prior week and she was so optimistic about everything. Great mom to Ali. She will be so missed!

I am very sorry for your loss. It's so tragic when someone so young dies. I have a wonderful, comforting brochure that I would like to give you and your family called: "When Someone You Love Dies". If you would like me to send it to you, please reply.

I am so very sorry to hear that Kim passed away. I had talked to kim so very often about my sisters melanoma cancer and kim encouraged me to be strong for my sister. Kim had a wonderful outlook on life and was a beautiful person both inside and out. Kim was always someone you look always admire and look up to. It truly saddened me to hear that kim is no longer with us. I pray that god takes very good care of her daughter whom she loves so very much and her husband Dan who is very well respected here at work. God love you Kim we are all going to miss you very much, but you will always be in our hearts and memories. God bless
