Kim-An Lieberman

As extended family, very extended, we knew Kim An. Fred's mother's maiden name is Mason, an Americanized form of Moseson. That is a large family with many branches, including ours. Bryna, Kim-An's grandmother, and my mother Adele Stein were very very close friends since their childhood. We don't have any contact any more, in this generation, but when we were much younger we did have contact with Kim-An and her mother and to a small extent with her siblings. We are of the generation that...

Kim-An will forever be in my memory. Her loving and nurturing commitment to her family was beautiful to observe and created lifelong values in her beautiful children. Our love for Kim-An will forever live on.

Kim-An continues to send love poems to her children so they can keep them in their heart pockets forever.

Kim-An's light and love continues to shine through her beautiful children. We'll light a candle in her spirit!

I will NEVER EVER forget the gentle, tender but determined way Kim-An would approach her world, and especially her family. Her face is forever carried forward by both of her daughters. I will tell a story that I have not shared before now: On the very day of Matt and Sharon's wedding, a little more than a year ago...as I was sitting in the front row and the bridal attendants were entering the wedding site, with Dax' keyboard music playing... I witnessed with my own eyes the image of Kim-An...

A photo of you and Matthew sits on my office credenza so I will be reminded daily of your gentle smile and wonderful persona. Kim-An, you are missed but never forgotten. Please be assured that your children are loved deeply and are with great role models, who never let them forget their wonderful mother.

Four years have passed and I miss my dear lifelong friend more than ever. She was truly special. Otherworldly. And perhaps that is why she left us so soon. She was brilliant and kind, as many others say. She was also clever and funny. She gave the best advice. She was open. I will always remember her unique smile and our numerous inside jokes.I had so much more to say and share with her.

I wish she didn't have to go through the brutality that cancer brings. The permanence of death is...

I remember Kim-An as a sweet thoughtful young girl and an excellent student. I was one of her teachers at the Evergreen school. I am saddened to hear this news.

Kim-An's life is an inspiration. Kim-An was strong in a feminine way, and was wonderfully interested in what other people had to say. Kim-An's love and support of her husband Matt, and her kids touched everyone she met. She will be missed, but has made us all better for knowing her.
