To Kim's Family: I can't even express in words what Kim meant to my husband and I. She was with us for 12 years taking care of Tucker and then Gunner. I will always remember how their faces lit up when she walked in to our house, as did hers. She was an amazing lady who I always adored. Anytime we talked, she spoke of her boys. There was never a doubt that she was one proud Mom. The only peace I have is knowing she is with Tucker and all the other dogs who have passed taking them on their daily walks in heaven.
