I am so saddened by learning of Kim´s passing. I met her and Grace through the adoption of Bryce her beloved Doodle. She kept in touch with me through texts and videos always showing how well Bryce has fit in the family. It was an adoption I was so proud to be a part of. I instantly loved Kim and Grace from the start and always looked forward to messages. Time passed and the text quit coming. I knew she had been sick and I was praying daily for her recovery. When I didn´t hear anything from her I knew something was terribly wrong. I searched and found her obituary just a couple of weeks ago and I cried non-stop for days as if I lost a life long friend. My heart goes out to Grace and all her family. I´m so sorry for your loss. I offer my deepest sympathies.

Nancy told me on Sunday that Buffy has passed away. I am so very, very sorry to hear that. She was such a fun, vibrant, giving person! The many times I got to be around her were always filled with joy and laughter.
I know this is an unimaginably tough time, but I hope you are comforted knowing she isn't suffering anymore. And I KNOW the light of her infectious smile will be shining down on all of you...forever!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I have so many great memories with Kim - way too many to document. She is a very unique person whose light shone all the time. I will miss her terribly.

The world is a little less bright today. We will keep the Cimaglio family in our prayers during this difficult time.

Love, Bill & Sangeeta Walsh

Kim and I went to HS together. Kim was the light and energy of SHM class of 85. Always positive and alway smiling. She was funny and fun and EVERYONE liked Kim. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers especially Grace. Kim was very kind to me when I lost my mom at the beginning of freshman year of HS. Kim was one of those special people that was just liked by all because she judged no one and found humor in life.

I had been messaging with Kim on Facebook as we bonded over my donating of platelets. I promised her I´d donate as often as possible in her honor. It hurts my heart to see that she lost her battle. Clearly, from her actions and how she communicated, she was as fine of a person you´ll ever meet. Prayers to the family.

Dear Cimaglio Family,

I cannot this vibrant, talented woman has passed. I do well remember Kim and her ACTIVE brothers from St. Theresa School and Russet Way. Kim was my helper in the nursery during Sunday Mass. I am so sorry.

I am so very sorry for your exceptional loss. Kim was an example of generosity of spirit, and love of life. There was nothing she was prouder or than you, Gracie. The first time I met her, I saw the community minded, positive person she was and knew that we would be fast friends. I am here if you need anything. Alicia Grundy.

Our condolences to the Cimaglio family. Kim was one of the kindest, loving, generous, supportive, and selfless people I have ever known. She was a big part of our lives and we loved her dearly. So many lives she touched. She was the best mother I have ever known. One of the best friends I have ever known. To be part of her life was a gift I will forever cherish. Prayers to Grace and the Cimaglio family.
