I think about you often Kimberly this past year, the girl I went to school with so many many years ago. You would have been 50 years old...how time flies Always the most popular girl at Curtis School...I see it continued in High School. I remember you as sweet,kind,smart and so very shy and of course so beautiful. I remember the big smile ,always a big smile....you seemed always happy, I wonder if your life fullfilied you, as you got older.You traveled, got educated and had a big family....I hope it did.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Kim's passing. I went to high school with her, took her to the prom, and enjoyed every second I had the chance to spend with her. She was an amazing girl. Smart, beautiful, friendly and happy all rolled into one. I know her family will miss her very much, but after a very courageous battle may she forever rest in peace.

Kimberly sounds like such a wonderful person. Intelligent, hard working and obviously greatly loved. I did not know her personally, but I am so very sorry for your immense loss. May God bless you.
