I extend my condolences to the entire Dewey family during this difficult time. As a child, my family was the first African-American family to move on Dudley Drive and the Dewey's always treated me like family. Kim and I had so many wonderful times growing up as children; sleepovers in the tents, playing basketball together, bike riding, and so much more. Her wonderful spirit will truly be missed.
May the love of God be with you during this time, so that you may find peace in your spirit. Trust in the Lord for he will dry your tears and he will provide all that is needed to assist the family in this time of bereavement.
Love Always,

Kim worked for me back in the late 80's and early 90's and was a wonderful employee--she helped me when my mother passed away suddenly, taking on extra hours and duties. Then in the 2000's we connected again when she called me about her landscaping business and needing phone answering. Her laugh was infectious, her smile a delight. I'm glad I knew her. So sorry for your loss.

Kim was a Beautiful and Giving mom, friend and person to all. Her Zest and Light for her daughters and life shone Brighter than the Sun. We worked together all through Rock Cut Elementary, as Room mom's, on PTA, and to inspire what was always Best for our girl's, (and all children attending there). She Never said No! I treasure those memories in my heart. Also, when she worked at Grand Prix, whenever I came in, she Always had a Smile and Hug for me. Her Light snd Love will Shine Forever. May God be with all of you giving you courage, strength and peace. Psalms 116 ~ With Love and Prayers,
