Kim,
I was at my mom's yesterday and saw that in her bedroom still hung a picture of you and me at Micheal and Dewaynes wedding reception (which can you believe they celebrated 10 years together). We were there and you had that signature smile on that so many people loved.
I could not help but to smile as I looked at it. I miss that smile. Hope you are having fun chasing the clouds and sliding down the rainbows.

My darling Kim
As you know we lost dear Kaylee 2 weeks ago today. I know you were there to meet her. I can't believe the two of you are gone. I love you both and talk to each of you every day.
Just want to make sure that the two of you girls are behaving and having a great time up there.
Love you Both

It's been 4 years ago today that we lost you. It still seems like yesterday. I watched the sunset at the top of the mountain in Santa Fe on Saturday. I know you were right next to me. I miss you so much.

It is hard for me to realize it has been over 3 years since you were here with us. i talk to Mary Frances and Sandy and Tanner all of the time. I told Mary Frances here while back that it was sometimes hard for me to see her (we work on the same floor now). When I see her I remember how much you loved her. I think often of the people that used to be a part of our lives, I pray for their safety and happiness all the time ( I know it is prayer). I miss you and I know in my heart that no matter we will see each other again one day. One day I will see that beautiful smile that so many people miss.

Kimmie,
I can't believe it's been almost three years. It still feels like yesterday. We just celebrated mom's 70th! She is so beautiful and I know you were there. It wasn't the same planning it without you. I leave again next week for Santa Fe to go to the top of the mountain, I'll see you there just like the past two years. I take you with me everywhere, everyday. Austin is growing into a beautiful young man. He's still as sweet as he always was. You would be so proud of him. Please watch over him through these teenage years. He needs as many angels as he can get. I know you are my guardian angel. I love you and miss you!

Kimmie, I know we didnt speak these last years, for that I am truly sorry! You dont know how many times I wanted to talk to you, I've really missed that. There were alot of good times. Shoot, momma and grandmama helped raise me. I wish you could have seen Chelsea again, and just FYI, she can be quite a Renae sometimes! She really turned out to be a remarkable young lady.
We'll meet again someday.
Luv ya.......Trashy Teresa

Kim,
My sweet love. We've been sister/friends for over 20 years now. My, how time flies when you're having fun...and baby, we had some fun!! Dancing, singing, performing, laughing, crying...we did it all and much much more. And, yes sometimes it was more than a little crazy I'll admit, but I wouldn't change a minute we shared together. We've traveled life's journey together and my life is better for it. What a privilege it was to be with you at the end of that journey. Our last week together was more precious to me than any jewel. Your family opened up their hearts to me and I'll be forever grateful to have them in my life. I promise to never take that for granted. I'll keep you in my heart forever and miss you more than words can say. Good-bye, old friend. God Bless!

Even though I didn't know Kim well, I know she brought many smiles and much laughter to those close to her and she was loved by many, many people. Darby: my deepest sympathies are with you as you go through this extremely difficult time, but I hope it brings you some comfort to know that Kim is in a peaceful place where pain will never touch her soul again. My prayers are with you, Kim's family and all those whose life she touched. Cherish the memories of the times spent with Kim - that will keep the life in her smile and her close to your heart and soul. God Bless you all.

There is so much to remember about Kim; her smile, the way she made us laugh and "her" way of entertaining us. She really was a rose, cut short in mid-bloom. But the fragrance of her life will waft on through our memories.
Kim will be missed so much here on this earth! We have another angel to look over us. I can see her now trying to straighten her wings and asking God if she really has to wear them all day and Ziggy giving her a look.
I will always be proud that she was my “sister friend”.
My prayers are with her family and all the lives she touched; she was truly one-in-a-million.
