We will miss Kimberly’s beautiful smile. This child received much love and care. KIMBERLY did not run on earth, but now she is in Heaven, she will have a wonderful time. God needed someone special and dear to make all that he created worthwhile. God created Kimberly whom forever we will cherish and love. We saw all of God’s creations in Kimberly’s eyes.

Sonya, Kenny, Uncle Carlton, Barb, Karlton & the rest of the family:

Just a note to say we love you guys and praying for comfort and solace in the coming days. Even as we attain our closest relationship with our Lord in the spirit, there are still times our flesh would be tempted to still ask God "Why?" We have to encourage each other to fight our way thru pain and sorrow into the mode of PRAISE to HIM, for our God knows whats best better that we ourselves.
We encourage you to cherish the loving memories of the time God has allowed you all to spend with Kimberly, profit from the lessons of perseverance she has taught through her challenges you have witnessed, and know that not only she now lives spiritually within all whose lives she touched, but one day we believers shall all reunite with her again. God bless and keep you all!

Family remember we still have HOPE!
1 Thess 4:13-18

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with THEM in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
