Was very saddened to see that Kim had passed. God bless all of you and give you stength during this very difficult time. I will always remember her whenever I hear the jazz tunes we enjoyed in her room while I cared for her in 2302.

Henry, Kyle and Family, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Kim was truly a fighter and never gave up on all her toughest times. There was never a time when I didn't see her digging weeds out of my flower bed ;-) Or seein her, Henry and Kyle pulling out to go to Nags Head for some fun in the sun! I will never forget her and her love for all things. She will always be a hero in my heart.

Mom, I know I could be hard-headed almost 24/7 sometimes, but all in all I loved you more than anything, It's still like a bad dream that I can't get myself out of. It's hard to believe that just early that day I was in your room alone talking to you and balling my eyes out that you were like you were, I know your not suffering anymore and I am extremely thankful for it. I remember even though you were out of it, it was like the lord was talking through you, allowing you to give me the hint that you were ready. you repeated the sentences "it's the truth, its ok" hundreds of times, I wish I would have been back up there too see you instead of working on terry's car. It's hard sitting in the house alone knowing that I'll never be able to see your comforting face again. I love you were than anything and I hope the lord is taking good care of you. bye mom, I'll see you again one day, and that truthfully will be the best day of my entire life
