Not sure what to say?

Our sincere sympathy to the family in the loss of Kim. Kim and I have been friends for a number of years through 4H, family friends and work.

I was Kim's realtor when she moved to PA. I was so fond of her and Dave they were more than just clients, they were friends. I was sad they were going to move back to the Midwest but I was happy they would be near so many family and friends that they truly did miss and talk about. The folks that bought Kim and Dave's house in PA turned out to be wonderful folks as well and the entire transaction was one for the books, the good books. Good people. Big hearts. Kim was such a wonderful person...

David and Andy and family - So sorry for your unexpected loss. I always enjoyed times together and enjoyed visiting you in Mississippi. Wish we would have had one more visit as time always gets away from you. Praying for you all in the days ahead as she loved her family.

Dave, Sending you and your family love and prayers. I'm sorry sorry for your loss. Kim was such a special lady and a wonderful friend to my mother!

She was a wonderful boss! She will be missed.

Kenny, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dave - so shocked to hear about Kim. Our prayers are with you and the rest of the family. Richard Turley & Ann Recktenwall

We offer our deepest condolences during this difficult time
