Kim

You were one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. It was a blessing having you as a sister in-law and Aunt to my kids. We will forever remember you and the kindness you gave to each of us. You gave so much more though; lessons we learned from your uncompromising faith in our Lord will guide us in each day of our lifes. Threw you each of us has grown closer to God. Your amazing grace to be positive, your humbleness and your courage to never give up. We will all miss you so much, your warm smiles, contagious laugh and most of all your inviting hugs. You never could give just one. For that we are greatful. We will always hold you close to our hearts and will see you in every sun rise and sun set knowing in our hearts you are full of life in Heaven. Your pressence will be felt at every family gathering and your life will be celebrated. I know and trust that, now being in Heaven, you are able to see how so many lifes were blessed by knowing you and how you forever touched our hearts more than these words could ever say.

We love you so much and will forever!

I hope you've been able to go for that horse ride you said you were going to take when you got to Heaven. I prayed my dad would meet you when you were ready and he would have a horse ready for you. Give him a big hug for me - like only you can do.

Until we meet again,

Jessica - lots of hugs

Jordan - "I love you Aunt Kim!!! I hope me and Daddy, Mommy, Austin and Jader can go riding with you in Heaven someday. I want to hug you and kiss you and play with you again someday"

Austin - "I love you Aunt Kim, everybody misses you and so do I. Thank you for the presents and everybody loves and misses you, love Austin"

Jade - "I hope Heaven is fun. I am glad to know you feel good now. I love you and miss you"

Dearest Kim,

It seems strange writing this letter to you in heaven. We know you are rejoicing in Heavenly glory and enjoying a family reunion! We take comfort in knowing you are healed and still imagine that huge smile and wonderful attitude! We miss you so much, and pray that we can live up to the lessons you taught us here on this earth. God is Great and Merciful and we praise Him and His newest Angel. We will keep Craig and the girls in our daily prayers and only wish we could do more to help them move forward without you. You will always be alive in our hearts--which makes you very close by.

We'll be chatting with you in our prayers.

Love,

Pat and Danny

I was unfortunate not to know you so well. I think that is what saddens me the most. But I would not have wanted you to suffer either. You are a wonderful woman and I hope someday to follow in your footsteps. I will remember the times we had together and cherish them forever. Say hello to my dad and everyone else for me and thanks for looking out for us. We all need an angel every once in a while.

Love you forever,

Our Beautiful Aunt Kim,

We miss you everyday we wake up. We are proud to say though, you are in a better place then us here on earth, and one day we will meet up with you and all the wonderful people there with you. Aunt Kim, you are an inspiration in Darren's and my life. We always took everything for granted but now we live each day full of love for our family and friends. We are so glad that you are now free of pain and suffering which you deserve. You were the greatest mother, sister, daughter, wife, and aunt to all. We will always remember what a wonderful person you are. We will wake up everyday thanking GOD for giving us you to be our gaurdian Angel. Please watch over us all and guide us to Heaven to be with with you and all reunite again. With all our love. P.S- Please watch over our soon to come Isabella Kimberly as she grows and learns new things. Little Dominick tells us all the time you are an angel in the sky as a star, shinning brighter then any up there. Rest in Peace Our Beauty Queen Aunt Kim. LOVE Darren, Jessica, Dominick, & Isabella Kimberly Menu

Dear Kim,

It is hard to immagine life without you in it. I will miss you everyday. As I look at God's awsome creation's here, I picture you in the place where angel's are singing,where the lamb lay's with the lion and where there are no tears and no pain. You are my hero in life and you taught me so much about it. Whenever I feel like complaining or feeling a bit sorry for myself, I think of you and how strong and courageous you were. How you always could find a smile and a positive thing to say about every situation. These are rare qualities and you had them & showed us all how it can be done. I am so grateful for the time we had together (44 years) and especially for the closeness we had these past two. Well, my dear darling sister, I look forward to the time when I will see you again, but until then, rest in peace. With all my love, Peggy

Dearest Kim,

You will always be a part of our lives here on earth. As I go about my daily life in our home..I see signs of you in pictures and memories of when you were here with us in SD. We enjoyed so many things together. I remember you always saying it was such fun to cook up things together at my house.

We hear your giggle and see your beautiful smile whenever we think of you. We were always so very proud that our son married you and that you were "Our Daughter-in-law".

You were more like the daughter we never had. Since it wasn't to be that you could be cured, we are so at peace knowing you are with the Heavenly Father and in His Kingdom where there is no more pain or suffering. It helps so much to think of you in this beautiful peaceful place as one of God's Angels. We will always love you our dearest Kim.

Kim, I will miss you more then anyone will ever know. I was so blessed to have you as an aunt. You were not only my aunt but my second mother. You kept the family so close that your kids always told me I was their fourth sister!! You were always there for me, always had the perfect words. I would never leave without feeling like everything would be ok! I can't imagine life without you, and use you as my inspiration in life!! The lord takes the best only because they deserve it!! You are free my little honey!! You will live forever! I know now that I can't be selfish. I cried at first because I knew that it might be a while before seing you again. Then realized that you are still with me....the Lord has taken you, and released you from all your pain, and I know now that you have the biggest smile on your face. You feel so much better and that is all that matters. I know that you are in HEAVEN. You are healed forever. It is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, but I look forward to seing you again, my guardian angel when the Lord decides that It is my turn. With all my heart and soul,

I LOVE YOU MY HONEY!!

AND PS. THAT HUSBAND OF YOURS WAS YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL ALL ALONG!! WAY TO PICK EM!

So many people love you. Even people that have never met you. Your legacy will live on through your your loving family and friends. We will never forget you, and how you touched our souls.

Some lucy person is going to get one heck of an angle looking after them.
