LORENA CICERO
September 17, 2020
Kim was a very dear friend of mine. I love her so much and I already missed her. She was a very special person, a great and supportive friend, very positive, fun. Kim was very loving to everyone, to all her friends and family. She loved music, Tinker Bell, the ocean, and her favorite color was purple. During the 15 years that we were friends, she has always been kind, caring, with a big heart and I love her smile. She and I spent many hours texting each other during our sleepless time, we laughed a lot, because she used to tell me, let's try to sleep, otherwise tomorrow we'll look like zombies. God needed an angel in heaven, a light for heaven, that's why she left. My condolences to all the family and mutual friends who love her too. We lost a good friend but we gained an angel.
R.I.P my sweet K-Lo (that's what we call her sometimes) You will always live in our hearts. I'll be seeing you.
Love
