It's coming up on 16 years since you were taken from us and this wound still feels so fresh. I know I have skipped some entries over the years because I still haven't been able to wrap my head around the why but I think of you daily and know my Angel has been watching over us. You see, health has taken a toll, stress is in abundance and faith has been tested and four times I was almost called to be with you but thru each ordeal, you said hold on! I think of your mom ,sister and nephew all the time and pray for their healing and understanding and Mrs. Jacobs I'm sorry for not being that friend that I know she wanted me to be in keeping up and in touch with you all, but it's really hard. This place we call earth has become crazy over the years and I can hear her now fussing about so many things. Keep shining that light Kimmie, and keep watching over all that loved and cared for you;we see it!
Ms.Linda I would love to check on you all , please send me a message at [email protected] so we could exchange information.

As the days and years pass.

I still miss you
Today and every day
I still miss you"

Two tired eyes are sleeping
Two willing hands are still
For one who suffered far too much
Is resting in God's will
You never said goodbye to us
Perhaps it's just as well
We never could have said goodbye
To one we loved so well

There's a miracle of friendship that dwells within the heart. And you don't know how it happens or where it gets to start. But the happiness you brought always was a gift and the joy that you left us all with is surely missed. It has been 4 years and I still have your picture of us sitting on my desk. One as a reminder that you are the reason why I am the person I am today. You always encouraged me to aim for those things that others felt were the impossible and two because it reminds me of the laughter you brought into my life personally and professional when I thought the world was crumbling around me. You are my start to the morning and the end to my work day. I hit my office light before exiting for the day saying "I look forward to seeing you in the morning sunshine to brighten up my day!" Ms. Jacobs, Janese and family, please keep your heads up and your hearts full of her sweet memories. I know its been one hard road but Kim is smiling down on us from heaven and giving us that strength to carry on. We miss you Kimmie!

December 22, 2010

I am thankful that in God's design he planned it so your path crossed mine.

July 25, 2010

Your birthday is coming up soon. It's hard but I'll be kneeling by your graveside on August 3 if I'm alive, able and of sane mind.
Words can't really describe how I feel; and to be real, it's hard to write these words without trying because the pain of the memories is too great. I wish you could tell me what to do with Janese, I worry about her. She doesn't have a relationship with her matenal cousins but she has found a true friend in Britney at Moody AFB and her godsister Toya. They stay in communication and I'm thankful for that. She needs friends. They say the body is just a home for the soul; your body is gone and I hope your soul has some sort of peace. I havent been able to sleep at all since you've been gone. I worry about this because it's not good for my heart or my diabetes but I'm at a loss. I don't know how to reduce the stress because it's all around me, choking me, robbing me of my health and energy.I can't find the strength to schedule a vacation without you being here to share it. We do go to the Parents of Murdered Children Conferences because it gives us a chance to honor you and share your story with people in the same situation. I'll go to your grave on your birthday, August 3. This is a milestone birthday so I'll go by myself. I want to bring happy flowers to that sad situation since you were smiling in all your pictures flashing your toothy smile. I miss you, I love you. I wish I could sleep so I could dream of you. That alone would bring me a level of happiness. I think about you in the morning, at night, and all the minutes and hours between. I miss you. If I could swap my life to bring you back I would. I worry so much about my health now because Janese won't have you when I finally leave this world.Keep your spiritual arms around us because we need an angel. Rest in peace daughter, rest in peace.
Your heartbroken mom.

Your mom

July 25, 2010

Your birthday is coming up soon. A hard day for me. This one would be the big 30. We'd laugh about it, I'd tease that you were getting old. BUT HOW GOOD IT WOULD FEEL TO HAVE YOU HEAR. There is so much stress Kim. I worry about Janese. She is not close to her cousins on my side but she does have a great friend named Britney down at Moody AFB. Toya has turned out to be a sort of surrogate sister and for that I'm grateful. It is my hope that she will establish a closer relationship with her cousins on her dad's side. She misses you, she misses your guidance, she misses your love and concern for her welfare. I try to be there as much as possible but I'm a poor excuse for a replacement. It's really hard for me to write in this journal because I know I'll never get a response. Some of the things I feel are too much for me to put into words sometimes and I can't finish them for the tears. I have learned who I can lean on since your murder. My brother Jack and my sisters Dianne and Glenda have been my rocks. Winnie, Irma, Janie and Al have remained by my side during the years.
I believe the stress will be the death of me. My sleep is non-existent, I am gaining so much weight around the waist from stress and depression which is not good for my heart or diabetes. Every day is a struggle to reconcile how and why your life had to end as it did. I stopped going to church in 2007 because I can't make sense of it all. I can't go back until I've come to peace with all of this.
I'm through with family reunions because you're not here. I try to see your not being here as an absence, not a loss, but it's not working. Many believe that the body is a house for the soul. Your body is lifeless and I hope your soul is a peace.

July 21, 2008

Kim, I wish I could tell you that I'm coping better, but I would be lying. I just bought a house but can't take true pleasure in it because you're not here to share it with me or help me get it ready. It looks like the trial will finally begin September 29. Please be with me and give me the strength to speak strong and clear for you. You are always near my heart. Mom.

November 14, 2007

Another Thanksgiving is almost here. Another one without you. There can be no real celebration or delight taken in the day. It all comes back to the fact that you're not here to share it with us. We will try to be normal, as we have every day since you've been gone, knowing that we won't be able to act normal for a lifetime to come. Sleep well, baby girl. Keep an eye out for us. Know you are forever in our hearts. Mom.

I want to really thank you for the detailed article entitled "Life Without Kim" in the AJC Sept. 25, 2007. Yuu sound like a wonderful mother who truly knew and loved her daughter.

I wish I could say the right words you need to hear to help you deal with your loss. But, only God can bring you through your pain.

Just know that you have already been a blessing to so many others. You've demonstrated how to love and enjoy our children while we have them.

Hold on to all of those precious memories you have of Kimberly and never let Satan take those from you.

God is with you, Hold on to that. We are praying for you and your family.

Aunt Linda,
It angers me so much when I think about the pain that you're in everyday. I pray for you each morning asking God to strengthen you when you're not able. I say a prayer for Daddy asking God to give him comforting words to share with you that only a big brother can give his sister. Daddy misses your laughter.The days are gone when you'd call asking to speak to Jack Spratt. He thought that it was funny when he'd call you early in the morning when Kim was living with you, and Kim would answer the phone, and he'd hear her say,"You know it's Uncle Jack." Leave it up to Daddy to call half the family before six o'clock in the morning. I love the picture of Kim in the red turtleneck sweater with her hair in kinky twists. I got my hair twisted over the weekend in a similar style. Kim looks a lot like you in that picture (especially the eyes). I love you Linda, and I am so proud of you for taking a stand to make sure that justice is served.
Your niece

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Kimberly was such a sweetheart and did not deserve to leave this world the way she did. She helped my child get into the headstart program at Easter Seals and I enjoyed her kindness. Everytime I saw her she had a smile on her face or a kind word. I am my mom's first child and it is something about the bond between a first child and a mother noone can explain. I am sure your family will find peace at some point and be able to smile whenever you think of or hear Kim's name. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

October 4, 2007

Kim is truly missed by everyone she has touched. May God continue to bless and keep the entire family.

Love,
Co-worker

To Ms Jacobs Mother I read your tribute to your daughter Kimberly I was one of her co-workers at easter seals. I still look for her tiny self to come walking around the corner at sylvan with those heels on and that heavy walk that she had. We all would pick at her because if you didn't know her you would swear that she was a big girl.I recently lost my father from a sudden illness I still think that it is a dream and so I often wait for someone to shake me and wake me up but it does not happen.So I find comfort in remembering something silly that my father said or did.I can't begin to tell you the strength that I recieved from your tribute to your daughter my friend.I remember her funeral and how you gathered up the strength to get up in that church and deliver that heart felt speech in all the pain and agony you were in and I said to myself that is a very strong lady and when I read the tribute that you wrote in the paper that same thought popped into my head again.I see now were Ms Jacobs got her strength from and I know that as long as she has you to fight for her and be her voice justice will be served.God needed an angel to help him run heaven and he just didn't want any angel he wanted the best and that's what he got in your daughter.And to Kimberly take care of my daddy for me you will know him because he will have my good looks and humor.May god bless you and your family and when your feeling down just look to the sky and that big pretty smile in the sun will be Kim.

Kimmi: I miss you so dearly. I take solace in knowing that you are in heaven looking down upon us. I think about you daily and I talk to you often through your pictures and your poems. I find myself staring at my screen saver to remember your radiant smile. If only you could read Aunt Linda's tribute to you - it is so beautifully written. I will say that it made me cry, but this time it was tears of hope. Hope that justice will prevail, hope that the pain will soon ease a bit for your Mom, hope that our family can continue to draw upon one another's strength to deal with your loss, hope that you are smiling down upon us, hope that Janese remembers the good times she shared with you, hope that O'Dane can still feel your love, hope that we have the strength in court to speak for you, hope that God will give us unabiding faith to know why he called you home, hope that your radiant smile never leaves my memory, and hope overall that this strong love we have and the faith that got us through this year will continue to press forward. Whenever I'm feeling down I read your poem and I think about what a gifted writer you were. I try not to remember the tragedy that took you away from us, but what I do remember is one of your favorite quotes from your facebook site, "If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart and in your gut, it is not success at all". You said that this quote made you look forward to another day and it kept you on your grind. Well little cousin, we now as a family have to stay on our grind because we WILL succeed in honoring you and making sure that justice is prevailed for you. All my love, your cousin Jackie.

Ms. Linda, yesterday I read the memorial you wrote about Miss Kim and I cannot tell you how it touched my heart. As a mother, I cannot begin to imagine what you and Kim's sister are having to suffer through. I don't know if these words could possibly bring you comfort, but I want you to know that I shed a mother's tears for Kim and a sisters tears for you. I have the memorial you've written posted in my cube at work. I will look at your daughter's beautiful face every day. Your family will be a reminder to me of how NOT to take life for granted. God Bless You and BOTH of your babies. You all are in my prayers!

DEAR LINDA
YOU DONT KNOW ME BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE A VERY SPECIAL LADY. I READ THE TRIBUTE THAT YOU LEFT TO YOUR BELOVED DAUGHTER KIM AND IT MADE ME CRY. YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR SOUL, YOUR PAIN IS FELT BY PEOPLE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW. I HAD TO SHARE THAT TRIBUTE WITH OTHERS BECAUSE THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FOR YOUR KIM IS WHAT I CALL UNCONDITIONAL AND I FEEL YOUR PAIN. MY SISTER WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN 1990 SO I KNOW WHAT JANESE IS FEELING BUT AFTER YOUR TRIBUTE I NOW KNOW WHAT MY MOM WAS AND STILL IS FEELING. I PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY AND KNOW THAT I WILL KEEP THAT BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO KIM AND AS I THINK ABOUT MY SISTER EVERYDAY I WILL ALSO THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY LINDA. GOD BLESS YOU
AND THANKS FOR THE INSPRIRATION

Sometimes words are not enough. At those moments, it is the
Spirit of the Lord that fills that void and caresses our heart. Find joy in knowing the lives that Kimberly touched and that all who knew her will not think of her death but the life that she lead. You are so very courageous and I wish you much love as you continue to grieve the lost of your daughter.

Glenda Bradshaw

September 25, 2007

You are truly missed in my heart at all times and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I think of the days when you and Janese were at Mom & Dad's (Uncle Jack & Aunt Faye)house and the memories brings smiles and tears of happiness and joy to my face. I have your Inspiration poem posted in my office and I glance at it daily, because it inspires me to press forward. In another one of your poems you wrote," There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real", and this is how I feel about you. I miss your radiant smile and I love you.

Tysha Bradshaw

September 25, 2007

I can't believe that it has been one year since your death. I miss the stories that daddy would share with me whenever Auntie Linda would call him. You and Janese grew up so quickly. I remember trying to convince you to go to Albany State. I have a picture of you in my wallet. It is one that you gave me when I was in college on a weekend visit, and you, Linda and Janese stopped by for one of your quick visits to Thomson. I think about you daily. I hope that you and Grandma are together.

I read Kimberly's story in today's obit and I wanted to wish you love and hope for the future. Evil is everywhere and it's hard to understand people so full of hate. What came across in the story is the power of your love for your child. God bless you and your family. Stay strong.

Words can't express the agony I feel over your violent death. If I could turn back the hands of time to September 25, 2006, I would place myself in your apartment so that you could be here today. I wish I had told you more how proud I was of your independent spirit. The way you tried to handle most things by yourself (a chip off the old block). You were my first born, the child who taught me how to be a Mom and how having a child changes your whole way of thinking. I couldn't be there to help you that day, Kim, but I will be at trial to make sure your voice is heard. As the saying from The Color Purple goes, "Nothing but death can keep me from it" I miss you all day, every day. You are the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing on my mind at night. Rest well, Kimberthelee (the name I'd sing to you with when you were a baby). I am trying to take care of your sister but I will never be able to take your place for her and give her advice only a big sister can give. My life as I knew it ended September 26 when I found out about you. It will never be the same.

As a fellow Family Support Advocate at Easter Seals, I worked very closely with Kimberly. She has been a blessing in my life as well as in the lives of all the families she touched, with her genuine warmth and affection. Kim was supportive when I needed support, she was a listener when I needed someone to listen, and she had a smile when I needed some light in my day.

I miss you.

I was a high school friend of Kim's and we lived in the same neighborhood during that time. She was such a sweet inspiration for me as a young man and I still remember conversations which we shared that helped shape my outlook on life. I'm sure GOD has recieved her well and I know her family will cherish in the fond memories she always seemed to leave.

My deepest sympathy to you and your daughter. Kim was a caring young lady. She helped me on Monday gather materials to complete a task. She called me at my Center before she left to go home to make sure that I was ok. I will miss her.

I find myself thinking about Kim everyday since this happened and it seems like death has hit very close to home. Kim was my daughter social worker when she went to Easter Seals last year, and from reading everything she lived in the same apartments I stayed in and didn't know it.I packed my things and moved the very next day after I found out not only what happened , but that it was Kim, she wouldn't hurt a fly so I know this was senseless.
We appreciated her dearly but God will appreciate her more!! This girl was so kind , sweet, and humble. She will be sadly missed.My family prayers will be with the Jacobs.

Beryl Harris--Evans

Linda,
Once again, God has decided that Kim work on this earth was done, and he needed her with him to continue his work with the angels in heaven. You can just look at the smile on her face and that was enough to let you know that love had surrounded her completely. Be strong, because you know God will not let you carry this burden alone and Kimberly will be truly missed.

Kim was one of my closest friends. She will truly be missed. I just saw her a few weeks and we were laughing and having a good time. I have great memories that I will take with me forever. I am so happy that I got to know Kim. Her mother did a wonderful tribute at the funeral to express in a few words how beautiful her daughter was.

When I first saw the tragic story in the news, I noticed a familiar looking face although I did not know Kimberly. My first impression was that this was a carrying and thoughtful person and I was saddened for her and her family. I was more saddened to learn later from my sister (Juanita) that this was Linda's daughter where I then connected the familiar looking face. God will carry this family forward! My condolences.

I had the pleasure of working with Kim at Sylvan Hills last school year. She was always cheerful and excited about the children and doing her job. She always had a positive and encouraging attitude even when things were not that way. I always looked forward to seeing her at work, she made each day a much better one. She will be missed very much. My prayers are with her family whom she talked about so much.

There are some things that happen that are beyond our comprehension. Losing Kim is one of them. I worked with her at the Headstart Program in Columbus, Ga. We will always remember her big smile and that funny laugh. She was like family to us and our hearts are hurting. May God provide you strength and peace. Our prayers to you.
