i only found out yesterday that Kim died. I knew her from O Donnels pub. I moved Dec 2013 so didn't know. My sister was here over Christmas ( visiting from Sweden ) and showed me this video of me and Kim with our arms around each other dancing and singing to Lady Gaga. She said remember this Lady you loved so much from O Donnels pub? You took me to meet her when ai visited you last time. Which was 3 years prior. She works for the European Patlament so we don't see each other as much as we would like to. I emailed her to keep that video and what happened to Kim. . To me Kim wasn't just a bartender. I know she loved me and she knew I loved her. Equally silly on our worst day. She was a fantadtic person. Truly devastated .

As someone who many years ago worked a short period of time for Staff Builders in 1980 under the direction of Peter Leto, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Kimberly, Susan, and Peter. In the brief time I knew Peter, he spoke highly of his love for his family.
Peter was a very caring business owner that always saw potential in everyone that he met.

My condolences to the family of Kim. I worked with Kim in Los Angeles at Sports Harbour for about 3 years in the 1990's. We became good friends and even kept in contact for a couple years after we both left Sports. As life happened upon us, we lost touch. I discovered this news about Kim just last night, and wanted to pay my respects. She was a beautiful person, inside and out, and will forever be a bright light shining within my heart.

My mother Connie worked for Staff Builders many years ago and I was able to meet Diane and Pete a few times when I came to the office. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Kim, but I am so sorry to hear of this loss to the family.

I worked with Kim 30 years ago at her father's business, and remember her as a kind, spirited, funny young woman who relished and enjoyed life. From reading the other comments, it doesn't sound like she had changed a bit, and kept those around her smiling. Sending prayers for peace and comfort to Kim's family.

I knew Kim from her days as a bartender at Geckos. I will always think of her boundless energy, her ready laugh - even when things were tough, Kimmy armed herself with a smile and faced life head-on. She would light up in the presence of a friend, at a good wisecrack, when a great song came on the jukebox...for those of us who knew her best in those little moments, they were clearly indicative of a life well-lived - filled with friendship, laughter and love. She will be missed and remembered always.

Kim and I got to know each other fairly well when she tended bar at Geckos. She didn't take any guff from anyone and always stood her ground. It is so unfortunate that this had to happen to such a beautiful soul. I hope her final resting place is peaceful and full of love.

Kim was always a breath of fresh air, she was nice and kind but don't let that fool you, she was definitely a firecracker. The blend of sweetness and fiery sass made her truly a one-of-a-kind person. I will truly miss Kim with all my heart.

Kim and I shared many laughs together over the few years of our friendship. I still chuckle a little when I think of her as "Kimmy Goldfish", a nickname for her that stuck with me and came about during a busy night at Gecko's. I had been waiting for a drink that I had ordered and Kim was running around crazy trying to keep up and suddenly she stopped looked at me and started laughing! She said "I'm so sorry I forgot about you, it's just sometimes I'm like a goldfish!" "What?", I said. She said "you know, a goldfish has no memory, just swims in circles!" It may seem silly but we laughed so hard about that and from that day forward she was "Kimmy Goldfish"! I'll never forget that and I will never forget her laugh and big smile. Love ya Kim, you are missed
