Kim M. Litzan

Kim was like the "big sister" I never had, and I miss her so much. I loved spending time at her house and watching her kids who became like kids of my own. I learned so much from her, from how to get tanner faster by adding iodine to baby oil to all sorts of tips on how to win over the cutest guys. :) I will always remember the special rings she gave me, her dear friendship, and the love she showed every day. I love you Kim and I miss you dearly.

I remember so many wonderful things about Kim. Her contagious smile, her cute sense of humor, her beautiful children and the love that she had for them. Most of all the love, friendship and connection that she had with my daughter, Erin. It was a deep and trusting big sister/little sister relationship and so special to both. Our family loved Kim and the kids so very much. She will remain in our prayers and in our hearts always. She has touched our family in ways she never knew. Rest in peace...

Just wanted to share this Kim story...

Being new to our school, our family did not know very many people. We had a birthday party for my son, and Kim's son was invited. My husband had just left for Iraq and I was alone at the bowling alley with my 4 kids, and most of the boys in the 3rd grade!

Kim offered to stay and help ( we had never met) and help she did. She even took the baby, 15 mos old, down to "bowl" with the boys.

Her friendly offer and...

I met Kim about 20 years ago when I worked at the Grand Rapids Press, and her in-laws have a cottage next door to my brothers in Pierson. Kim was a very sweet lady, and all the memories that I have of her, she always had a smile on her face. Godspeed Kim.

I did not find out about the loss of Kim a week late, but I grew up with Kim and played many years with her in my childhood. My family and hers grew up together. My thoughts and prayers go out deeply to her and her family.
