Dear Todd, Mike and Kaitlin,
I was so sorry to hear about Kim's illness and death. I'm her cousin from North Dakota. I used to come and stay in Hibbing in the summer. Kim was always so much fun. I loved her laugh. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to her wake or funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Pam (Trom) Mailander

Todd, Mike & Kaitlan,
Please accept our condolences. We enjoyed getting to know your family during our years of EPHS wrestling. Kim will definitely be remembered for being spunky and having an infectious laugh. Hold your memories, celebrate them and be at peace as Kim is and my guess is that you will always know that she is with you, you will hear her words and her laughter.
Thoughts & Prayers,
Marlene & Kermit Walker

Todd, Mike, Kaitlan,
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Kim. I had the privledge of knowing Kim through Eden Prairie Wrestling. The very best part of coaching is getting to know the families. She loved her family and that love showed when we spoke, with her great smile and laugh that would light up any room she entered. She had a heart of gold and we all will miss her very much.

Todd, Mike and Kaitlin:
I worked with Kim at EP High School and we had a lot of fun serving lunch and always having a few "yucks" ourselves. Kim always had more energy than everyone else and kept us on our toes! I will miss her and know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. May God comfort you all with wonderful memories and give you peach each day.
