Not sure what to say?

Kim and I went to nursing school at IUPUI. We were besties then lost touch. I had her on my mind which lead to this sad story. She was so smart and put a lot of pressure on herself to do the very best! She always bought a sandwich made ofBudding Beef. Makes me smile to think of those times with her. Sending love to her family.

Mama Yoder was the sweetest, most caring, selfless person I’ve ever met. She treated me like a daughter and always looked out for me. She will live on in our memories and will be forever missed. Sending prayers and love ❤

Deepest sympathy to Kim’s family! I’m so sorry for your loss.

Kim was a sweet, dear friend growing up in Mooresville. My sympathies go out to her family, but how wonderful knowing she’s with the Lord! May that give you comfort during these difficult days.

So sad to hear of Kim's passing . I remember her very fondly from my school years at MHS and from Grace Missionary. A very sweet , smart and caring girl that had a wonderful family . R.I.P.

Sorry to hear of your loss. The memories you have in your heart will help you through this time and remember she will always be with you. Cardinals and butterflies will be reminders that she is close by. Your family is in my prayers.

Kim was one of the sweetest caring people I’ve ever known. She always was genuinely interested in others. My sympathies to Jared and the family. I pray the family has very fond memories of a special person in their lives. So glad Kim was a believer in our Lord, and we are assured she is with him.

The Selwa girls grew up with me at Grace MC in Mooresville. Both incredibly bright and beautiful. Kim and I reconnected while she was in nursing school. She and Jared moved to northern Indiana where he joined my father-in-law JR in insurance. I have felt connected to them for decades and my deepest condolences go out to Ray and Karen and Jared and all Kim’s family and friends.
