To the Family,
I am so sorry for your loss of Kim. While I do not know your family I do know your pain. I lost my daughter in 2006 who was a senior at RCHS. I wish I could give you words of comfort but I know I cannot. Nothing can compare to the loss of a child. While days ahead will be so empty without her remember how empty your life would have been having never had her and what a blessing she will always be.

We are so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw your beautiful little girl she was only about three years old and you were already so crazy about her. We were all working for Food Lion back in those days, time passed and many of us moved and went in different directions.
We will keep you in our thoughts. Please know that you are being kept close in prayer.

I am very sorry. Kim was a great volunteer here at The Boys and Girls Club. She spent many hours with these young girls down here teaching cheerleading. The girls here that cheered really looked up to her. She put smiles on all of their faces.

I was at Moses Cone on Monday night having a CT Scan when your beauiful daughter was also there. I knew that it was bad and one of the nurses looked at me on the strecher and asked me to pray for her. I do not know you and your family but I feel compel to tell you that everyone down in that area was working hard and praying for your daughter. Your family has been in my prayers since that day. God bless you!

My heart aches for you. As the oldest cousin of the Norris family, I watched Kimmie grow from the beautiful baby girl to the beautiful young woman she became. I was very proud of the many things she accomplished. She will live on in the hearts and through the many memories of her family, aunts, uncles, cousins and all her friends. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love Ya.
