I have thought of Kim many times over the years. We were the best of friends in high school. I remembered meeting her in Band and she had the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. She was so nice to me and she befriended me right away. We had many good times. She loved Bruce Springsteen and at the time I did not get it. She was 3 years older than me and I looked up to her. She loved New Jersey and used to talk about it all the time. I moved away from Alabama shortly after high school but around 1993 she called me and it was so great hearing from my old friend. She told me of her heart condition and I could not believe it. She had always been healthy and full of life. I told her that I had become a Christian and she told me with joy she was a Christian too. What a joy it was to talk to her. She sent pics of her and her husband. I loved seeing them. I wish we would have talked more. I have often thought of her and believe that one day I will see her again. I know it leaves a huge void in the life of her family. Much love to the family.

I miss her everyday when I pray that her and her beloved birdie are resting peacefully. She was a beautiful GEM of a friend, inside and out. I know her family and husband miss her dearly. I know I for sure do. Love her forever!

Kim, This is not how I ever imagined I would find you. There are no words, to describe, my loss.I hoped you knew my thoughts, back then.you made a whole existance, and a living world for the people who were blessed enough to have built a life with you. I have the same, from only knowing you.My life has been blessed with many wonders. I just can hope all the love you knew others had for you, was, and will always be a living center in me. A part of my being has left this place, to follow you.

Happy Late Birthday Aunt Kim!! I never get on here much anymore... but you and Grandma are always and will always be in my heart! I know you are here watching down on all of us. It is so special to me to have been married on November 11th because this is your day. I remember back when I used to sleep over your old apartment..you tried to teach me how to play your flute and we always played with Stinker. Every memory I have of you, you were always so happy and always smiling... I still have the recipe to your amazing blueberry muffins! Everyone loves them when I make them. I am so blessed to have had such amazing aunt in my life. I love you always and forever.

Love, Melissa Ann <3

Happy Birthday to my dear KIM. I am lighting a birthday candle for you. Can you look down and see it? All my love, Mom

November 10, 2010

Dear Kim - Whenever I receive a message on my email that there is a new entry in your guest book, I take a moment and read what one of your relatives or many friends have written to you. I am not at all surprised that after five years you are still missed by so many people. I feel so lucky to have known you. I think of you often and remember with great love your amazing smile and beautiful spirit. You were my best friend's baby sister who grew to be her closest friend and confidant. I know she misses you, as do we all. What helps is remembering all the good years in Bradley Beach when my best friends baby sister was like the baby sister I never had. Love You, Kathy

Dear Kim, Today is Christmas 2008 and I miss you very very much. I remember all our happy Christmases we all had. When you children finally went to sleep Christmas eve, Daddy and I would fill your stockings and he would put the toys together that had to be done. Then we would settle down on the livingroom sofa and have coffee or tea or hot chocolate while watching on TV the yule log playing carols. Before we knew it it was morning and you all came down the stairs to see what SANTA brought. Those were happy days. Merry Merry Christmas my daughter.
Love, Mom

My Dearest Kim,
Today is Christmas and I woke up thinking of you and all the past years we spend with family on Christmas Day. All the cooking and opening presents and food, we all had so much fun. It is not the same without you. As I shop for the holidays, I always seem to find things that are you. I say to myself, "I know Kim would like this or Kim would look great in this" and I smile thinking of you. The memories I have with you are all so special and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas in Heaven today. Love, Gail

Happy Birthday My Dear Sister,
It has been a while since I wrote to you because it is hard for me sometimes. I miss you so much and think about you everyday. I miss the way we used to laugh together at the same things, our daily calls, our visits to New Jersey and each others homes, baking for the holidays and having fun just being together. I miss sharing our Birthdays together and having you to talk to whenever something good, bad, exciting or whatever happens because I know you always understood or shared in my joy. My life has changed in so many ways since you went to Heaven but I know you are looking down on us all with your sweet smile and beautiful eyes. Happy Birthday Kimathie. Kiss Dad and Stinker for me.
Love...Gail

Happy 43rd Birthday Babydoll

Today is your special day. As the years pass I cannot hold back the tears when I think of you. You give me the strength to smile when I think about all the wonderful times that we shared. I do not think it is fair that God chose you to be an Angel so soon but I know that you are always watching over me and I thank God for giving me the precious time with you. We will all be together again in Heaven.

I will always miss and Love You forever Kim.
Happy Birthday Babydoll

I am very saddened to find this guest book and to learn about Kim's passing. I met Kim when I lived at Siesta Key in Deerfield with my sister and daughter, Brittany. Then, like stalkers - my husband, daughter, son and I followed Kim and Anthony to Medowridge East where we were neighbors! Kim was the sweetest, most down to earth girl I have ever known - she introduced me to the Howard Stern show and was with me at the Cove for a girls night out when Mariah Carey came in - My condolences to Anthony and the families. I know she is greatly missed. She was a wonderful girl!

Hey Kim,
Just wanted to say hi, we all miss you but have comfort knowing you are watching over us. Like when I am having one of those days, you know and a Bruce song comes on the radio (even though I haven't heard one for weeks/months) and all I can do is smile, you always knew how to get me to smile. Brought Sami by to meet you a couple of months ago, she smiles all the time (just like you) she is a crazy kid you would love her. Sami will be 1 in a couple weeks I know you will be here to celebrate and watch over us. You will always be in my heart Jrzy Buddy I miss you my dear friend until we meet again.

My Babydoll,

It seems like just yesterday that we were waiting for the next hurdle to pass. We knew that the future was not going to be easy, but you never gave up and you were always more concerned about me than yourself. Kim it has been three years since you went to heaven but it still seems like yesterday. The weeks go by but my love for you is as strong as ever. I miss you dearly and I will love you forever. We will be together again in Heaven. Your strength has given me strength.
