So many times I think of Kim , we shared a lot of heartfelt talks, tears and joys. She always had a smile on her face. I miss her hugs and our joy of coaching cheerleading together. She was taken from us all way too young but her love lives on in her family

Thank you everyone. You're all awesome people. And to the last poster, thank you..."blessed" is the word...and you have no idea, 53 entries just scratches the surface...i wish you could have known her. She was that person that you knew right away had to be among the absolute most special you could ever meet in your lifetime no matter how many you knew, and all would agree. Her childhood was unpredictable and unstable, but her motherhood was natural, calm, stable, and perfect. She was the kind of person that would light anyone's life, be they homeless or billionaire, right up instantly, every time. She truly was God's gift to the world - together, she and God gave us all hope, faith, and most of all, love :)

omg I was looking at the obits and i saw that this person had 53 entries and i just started reading them. I am still crying how lucky this family is to have her in their life. Her spirit will live on and on.........

I remember Kim from when her and her family lived in Sun Village on Morton Ave upstairs from my Aunt Peggy. Kim always had a smile on her face she was always happy and laughing. My condolences go out to her family. Sorry for your loss Roberta and Jimmy. I can remember a chance meeting Kim and I had years ago when she and I were in K-mart, she never changed ,still with a smile, and she remembered who I was. She was still as beautiful as ever.

Hamill Family,
Kim was one of my best friends in high school at Notre Dame. We had many fun times together especially down the shore. I will always remember her for her smile and good heart, (plus her high kicks in cheerleading). She also took care of my brother in law at Fair Acres and we were truly blessed to have such a caring nurse. Thanks for all your love you showed each patient along the way. You will be missed.

E, Your Mother loved you very much and was very proud of you. Whenver I would run into her, she couldn't wait to tell me how well you were doing and how proud she was of the man you've become. She never hesitated to thank me for caring about you the years you were with us at Pal Che and how we looked after you since. God bless all of you and take solice in knowing she will always be in your hearts.

We don't know how long we are here. We take for granted each day. When we lose someone who is so dear to us, suddenly a part of us goes with them. Kim lit up a room when she entered it, her smile embraced you and the love she had for others was such a gift to be given. Kim will be truely missed and a part of her will live in each of our memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

March 6, 2012

I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we've lost makes them part of us forever. Kim was a special person that we will all miss. On many mornings as we left the house for work, Kim would say good morning and have a great day!...I always knew she really meant that sincerly. Summit avenue will not be the same without her. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Kim had an inner light that shined so brightly...you couldn't help but be enveloped by it whenever she was around. She was so devoted to her husband and her kids...it just made YOU want to do a better job too! The Hamill family - especially Kim - were the best neighbors and friends anyone could ever ask for! The best way to know if you're doing anything worthwhile with your life is if you leave a hole in your death...with Kim, there will never be a doubt. Our hearts are greatly saddened. We love you Gerry, Kerri, Eric & Pat!
