I was shocked and saddened to learn of Kim's passing. Kim and I were best friends when we were young. We went to the same church and went to camp every summer together. We lost touch through middle school but ended up in the same high school together playing field hockey. I ran into her a couple of times after graduation. I will always remember her smile and the childhood memories we had at camp. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I'm saddened by this news. Jointly, Pat (Bost), and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Kim's family. It has been some time since I saw Kim, but her smiling face is freshly imprinted on my mind. She still has the ability to put a smile on my face through events that transpired between us from a time long past. The most memorable event that jumps to the forefront of my mind is a car race that Kim and I had from Golden Ring Mall to Eastpoint in our senior year. Kim and I, in our separate vehicles, reached speeds of over 100mph. In the sharp bend just approaching Eastpoint our speed was so fast that we slid across the road as our cars lost grip of the asphalt. But Kim just continued to push ahead. At the core of her being was a competitive spirit that willed her on. I backed off knowing that she wasn't going to give in. My hands were shaking from the adrenaline or perhaps fright. Later in the evening we debated the arbitrary finish line, experience, and of course victory. But now, with time, I concede, she beat me. Through the course of my life, I can truly say she is one of the people I have enjoyed knowing and having been part of my life.

Oddly enough, I recently had just traveled that stretch of road and had been thinking of Kim. God rest your soul.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest sympathy to Kim’s family and companion. Although I had not seen her since our 15 year reunion (1993) it seems like only yesterday we were walking the halls of DHS. I too was saddened by this unexpected news. As with the passing of anyone close to you it gives you cause to stop and reflect on life itself..

My deepest sympathy goes out to Kim’s family, friends and to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Kim was one my oldest and best friends and she hung in there with the best of us. No matter how far apart we were or how long it had been since we last saw each other, it seemed like time had stood still. Her smile and great since of humor remained unchanged over the years and whenever she was around she could make you feel like a kid again. What I liked most about Kim was her sincere optimism. She seldom expressed a care in the world and she lived everyday to its fullest. She could cheer you up with a smile or make you laugh at your own flaws. It saddens me today that I will soon have to come to terms with her passing and will never have the opportunity to see or speak to Kimberly again. However I will always have fond memories of our times together and it will always seem like it was just yesterday. Good bye for now you will be sincerely missed.

I was very sad to hear about Kim. It made me think about days gone by, friends, family and loved ones. I new Kim from elementary school to High school and we ran into each other every now and then over the years. I have not seen Kim for many years, but the last time I did was in the gym at White Marsh. I can remember the day as it was a nice friendly conversation.

I am so-o very sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful daughter Kim. She was a very good friend to my sister Eileen, and a very important person to my brother Kevin. Kim was a special person, always trying to make you smile. As I said I met her when my sisiter became friends with her in Dundalk Sr. We played sports together, she was always willing to help teach me new things on the field, and in life. She was a loveable, special, caring person, and although I haven't seen her for a few years the friendship and love she gave our family will never be forgotten. She will be greatly missed! God Bless your family today and always! Remember the memories!!

Carmen,

Mere words cannot express my saddness on learnig of Kim's passing. She and I worked together at Giant. We were friends.

Kim was a very dynamic lady full of life, kindness, caring, and love. You and her family meant the world to her.

We are all better people for having known her. She was angel God placed in my path at time I really needed one.

May your memories help you through your grief, knowing that she is never away from our hearts.
