I can't believe that Kim is no longer with us. This is such a devastating loss, and my heart goes out to her family, especially her daughters, whom I know she loved more than anything. I will always remember Kim as the strong, kind-hearted, loyal, and hardworking person that she was. Her absence leaves a huge hole in the SHA family that will never be filled, and I'm so sad that she is gone but thankful to have known her. You'll forever be in our hearts, Kim.

My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family. I got to know Kim when we worked together at Pumpkin Hill. Always provided professional service with a smile. Not even serving during the crazy MacKenzie-Childs Barn Sale could get her flustered. May the memories of her greatness get you through this difficult time.

Maryanne, Hannah, Mya and Victoria,
My heart is so sad and breaking for each of you. Kim was such a nice person. We worked together at Willet Dairy and had a lot of fun together there. She would always show up with a Shamrock Shake for me from McDonalds around St. Patrick's Day. I pray that your memories will always make you smile and that you will feel her warmth forever more.
