I just learned about Kim's passing and am so sad. She was so wonderful and so much fun at the FanFests we attended. All of us in the JAG/NCIS FanFest world will miss her greatly, especially our "group" from around the country that met for a couple of the FanFests in California. We would go out to eat and hang out in the suite and have a great time. We even took a crazy one day car trip from LA to San Francisco to see our favorite actor in a play reading. What a joy it was to know her and she left us too soon. I will miss her happy emails and the time we spent together so much. My heartfelt sympathy to her family and many friends.

I'm still stunned and saddened by this news, and I send my heartfelt and sincerest condolences. Kim, we're lucky to have had you in our lives. We've lost one of the "good guys". Rest well.

Dear Kim,
I am honored and blessed to call you a friend and fellow Dispatcher for 22 years. We shared the nighttime airwaves for many more shifts than I can count. I always knew if I needed anything I could count on your skill and knowledge in the Comm. Center and you were only a phone call or a MDC message away. I will miss you my friend and you will forever remain in my heart. My condolences to your family. I will be praying that God bless them and give them strength at this time. RIP Kim.

I remember growing up around you at the PD as a kid. I'll remember you were always in a good mood. I don't really know what to say other than you will be greatly missed and I'm happy to have known you.

24 years was just not enough! You were not only my co-worker for 13 years but more importantly me friend even after I left Claremont. Thank you for everything you for all your encouraging words and most of all your laughter. I also thank you for letting me be there for you the last few months of your life. You are FOREVER IN MY HEART!

Kim you were a great person and a helluva good police dispatcher. In all my crazy pursuits it was sure nice to hear your calm and reassuring voice on the other side of the radio. You had a great personality and I'm privileged to have called you a friend. God Bless and may you rest in peace.

Kimmie,
The many years we worked together went by far to fast. Some of those very stressful times would have never been successful without your calmness and professionalism, wit and humor. I will never forget you. Take good care of all those cops in heaven like you took care of me and all the other Claremont officers over the years. I will miss you.

Kim, it was an honor working with you and knowing you. You were one of my Explorer Advisor's when I first came to C.P.D. 20 years ago and you were my Dispatcher as a Police Officer. You will always be the Sr. Dispatcher. I will miss you.

Kim, your positive, keep smiling, attitude is an inspiration, and will be forever. You will be missed, very much.
Under normal circumstances, I'd thank you for your company at work, for letting me share time on this Earth with you, and for your inspiration. If these were normal circumstances, I'd just say "thank you." But for you, you know it has to be "And, I thank you."
Keep smiling from heaven.

God listened to our prayers but He knew you had suffered too long so He took you home. You will be missed by all and the memories will never fade.
