My condolences to Kim's family. My search to reconnect with Kim led me here. Back in 1999 Kim created an online safe space for those who suffer Anxiety and Panic Attacks. We hit it off between pen pals, sending beanie babies, and getting update letters about Brutes and those dreaded storms! I realize this post is a couple of years late, and for that my apologies. Through the pain of discovering she is gone, I cant help but feel blessed for the shared time we had. Kim was and will always be a unconditionally loving soul. Sending thoughts and prayers to all that feel her lack of presence.

Kim was fair, decent,and kind; she taught me how to dance! Today the world is a little lesser. God speed, Chaka Khan.

So sad to hear about the loss of a beautiful, kind, funny, outrageous and loving person. I had the privilege of being a part of the Newman Family and I'll never forget those happy fun filled days. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kim's family and friends. God Bless you All.

So saddened by the news of the loss of a beautiful woman, former neighbor and high school friend. Kim and Lindsay lived next door to our mother and were a tremendous source of comfort when mom was sick from cancer. We love you Kim. You will always have a place in our hearts. Keli Proctor Clark

I've known Kim since her high school days through my brother, Mike. I'm still in shock by her too-soon departure from this world. She was a wonderful person.
