Kim is also survived by her mother and father, Pam and Roland Gassler, her sister Heather Baxley and husband Kendall, niece Rylee Baxley, mother-in-law Sharon Johnson, brothers-in-law Mike Jenkins (Tara) and Darryl Jenkins (Strawberry), and their families, Aunt Marie Cantrell, and nephews Todd and Mark Cantrell {Katy}, cousins, Cami, Tony and Corey Couzens and families

Of all the special gifts in life
however great or small,
to have you as our Daughter
was the greatest gift of all.

May the winds of love blow softly
and whisper in your ear
"We love and miss Daughter
and wish that you were here".

Deep in our hearts, your life is kept to love and cherish,
not forget. No more tomorrows we can share
but yesterdays are always there.

A silent thought, a secret tear
keeps your memory ever near
in our hearts forever.

Love, Mom and Dad

It would have to be the time we got to join her family reunion in San Diego in 2009. Kim always was a welcoming woman and the kindest soul to ever come across to. Sending my love to the Jenkins- Brendan

While I didn't work directly with Kim very much, her care for foster youth was evident. Her passion and her joy will be greatly missed. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

I miss you, Kimmie. Thank you for being my cousin and dear friend. I miss you so much already.
Jeff - thank you for making Kim feel loved, safe and connected as her true soul mate for all these years. She loved you with all her being.
Tayler, Bryce and Brady - You were her pride and joys. You made her life complete and joyful. Being your mom was her greatest honor.
Aunt Pam and Uncle Rolly - This was not supposed to happen. Losing your baby in the prime of her life was never the plan. She admired and loved you so much.
Heather, Kendall and Rylee - What blessings you were to her. This is so unfair to lose your sister/aunt when you had so many memories still to make. She loved you all.
I am selfishly feeling this loss very deeply, but I know this loss hits so many who loved her in ways I can´t imagine.
May peace fill our hearts as we grieve this unique, beautiful person we were so blessed to have in our lives. Rest niw, sweet Kim. You will never be forgotten.
