Not sure what to say?

Dear Amber and family,
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of your mom, Ms. Kim. She always made me feel welcome and loved, and I’ll never forget how quick she was with a comment or story that gave me a chuckle. She was a very special lady and will be missed by many.
Sending love, hugs, and heartfelt condolences to you all.
Warmly,
Kristen Black Villanueva

It’s only a short time that my son, Ryan, and I have known Kim and Ronnie. I first met her at the gym when Denise introduced her to me. Roughly a year later my husband became ill and Kim was right there offering help with driving my son, who doesn’t drive, to work, pick up from work of both if needed. Even after the passing of my husband, Kim continued to help and even got her husband to help if she couldn’t. I remember saying to her that there will be a special place in heaven for her and...

I am so sorry for your loss. Kim was such a wonderful educator and person. She taught both of my children and tutored my daughter after school. She helped me to be an advocate for my daughter’s education and I will always be grateful for that.
Please know she will be missed by many and wishing you all peace in time.

Kim was such a kind lady. I worked with her at Ogden Elementary when she subbed there. May she rest in peace.

We are heartbroken at the passing of Kim! Will always remember her warmth and love of teaching as Becca's first grade teacher 30 years ago at WBS. She put the joy into learning! We are so grateful for the enduring friendship that began then with Becca and Amber and the kindness Kim continued to show us through the years. Our hearts and prayers are with your family always!

Kim is one of the nicest, kindest persons we have known; a truly loving wife, mother, and grandmother; and a cherished friend. We are still in shock of her untimely passing and will certainly miss her wit, her smile and her friendship. Words are poor things when we suffer the loss of a loved one. Still we want to convey our deepest sympathy to Ron, Taylor, Amber and families and let them know that we will keep them and Kim in our prayers. God Bless.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Kim’s passing. She was a special person and a wonderful colleague. She was a great teacher who was the foundation of many children’s success in life, including my own daughter who was in her Classroom. She will be greatly missed. We will keep Ronnie, Amber, Taylor and her entire family in our prayers.

The Carilli family is heartbroken over the loss of our sweet Ms. Chewning. Ms. Chewning had such a deep impact on my children and I and was a very special, memorable and important part of our lives. Every time I saw Ms. Chewning, she would ask, "How are my twins?", referring to my almost 22 year old daughters who were in Ms. Chewning's second grade class. She never came to Noble to sub without stopping by to chat and catch up. She was a true blessing in our lives and I am so grateful that we...

Kim was a great friend and a wonderful teacher. I was lucky to have known her. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ronnie, Taylor and Amber.
