Kim was a wonderful person and was good to everyone around her. She loved her family more than life itself. She’d do anything for her babies which were every child around her. When I was about 12 she would drive me to town to see my friends. I remember one Friday night her and her husband took me and a buddy to the drive in theater to see a scary movie. My friend and I got into a fight in the back seat and busted out the window of her car. We didn’t have any money to fix it but Kim never complained. She would still take me to see my friends. I spent that summer with her and her husband and Candace and Chrissy. My best summer growing up. We would watch movies all day, eat popcorn and drink cokes. I can hear her now “roll another reefer while I make popcorn and put a movie on”. We watched “Escape from New York” countless times. She loved movies. Kim we love you and miss you. The world is a little colder today without you. My prayers go out for all of her loved ones.
