Tony & Family, I am so sorry to hear of Kim's passing. It truly broke my heart to hear this news. Kim was the Best! I'll never forget the comfort she gave me during my Mom's loss; Kim would say, "I got Momma, ok? Didn't I tell you I got her? She's fine, I'll take care of her"; and she did. The trust, the comfort she gave me! Now Kim, the place you built and gave the same love & care to, will now take care of you! They got you, Kim! They will do you proud! Thank you for loving & caring for us like we were your family! I'll miss you & will never forget you! To the Tonic Family, May God Bless & Keep you! Kim's ok now. She's alright! She's making her rounds & seeing all of our loved ones she took care of over the years past, like my Mom :-) I love you, Kim!

I´m saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. Briscoe! My condolences to the family! I first met Mrs. Briscoe in the year of 2018 when I had to plan a funeral for my dad Dan Leake and step mother Wilhemina Leake. She was the sweetest most caring woman that anyone could meet. Throughout the whole process she was nice, comforting, and welcoming to me and my family! I just knew they´d be in good hands with her in charge. And they were exactly that ! I´m glad a had a chance to meet such a sweet and caring lady.... Rest In Peace Mrs. Briscoe!

Kim was one of the nicest persons I've know. As a business woman she was even more awesome. Her and the Briscoe-Tonic family took care of me and my family as we laid my grandmother to rest. Kim made sure her work family extended their professionalism while extending their love towards us. She will be missed. I honor this woman and I'm glad God had our paths cross. My condolences to the entire family. Rest easy my lady. Love D'Anna Jackson (Potomac HS)

I met Kimberly at CSM. She was completing a course in Start Up Business and I was starting. Kimberly spoke and encouraged the new class. I knew she would be successful with her dream because she was passionate and determined. When I saw Bricoe-Tonic Funeral Homes opening in Charles County, my heart leaped with joy and excitement. I recently lost two sons and it was Kim's LOVINGKINDNESS that helped me through the tremendous pain. My prayers are with her family. The reason I wanted to share this story is because I only met Kim at CSM but she was so, so good to me. She treated me like family. May God wrap His Loving Arms around You Family, comfort you and keep you in perfect peace. John 3:16
