We are so sorry for the lose of your beautiful daughter. We knew Kimber when she worked at Bailey's and she helped us purchase all of our furniture. We came to know her as a lovely, kind, smart, young woman and a real delight to know. Please know that even as strangers to your family, we were touched by her gift to like people, even two old seniors that will never forget her. We too, feel a great emptiness and sadness, but blessed to have known her. God Bless all of you. She will be forever in our hearts,because we also have a "Kimberly"

I am so sorry for your loss. you do not know me but I am a mom and it saddens me to know how you must feel. 1 John 3:19 assures us that "God is greater than our hearts and knows all things." So be assured that God knows how to comfort each one one of you in a way that that helps you personally.

Tony and Tina,
Saying that we are sorry for your loss seems so empty and hollow, but truly that is all I know to say. Know that our thoughts are with you and your boys. Condolences.

Siempre recordare cuando trabaje con ella, y el recuerdo mas sobresalientes de todos, es que a ella le gustaba la justicia, ella me defendio de un mal rato que otros me estaban haciendo pasar. Algo que nunca olvidare. que Dios consuele el corazon de los dolientes especialmente sus padres.
