Kimberly Sue Reed

Bittersweet... To me Kim will forever be a fierce, strong, and loving friend. I will cherish the memories we made. Zach, you are an amazing young man. I can´t wait to see what your future holds!!! Jackie, thank you!!!

So sad to hear about Kim's passing. Kim was definitely one of a kind and I really value our friendship through the years. We had so many laughs from golfing to fantasy fest to softball and kickball - I could probably write a book about all the fun times we had. Gone way to soon. Will miss you. RIP Kim.

I knew Kim for a very long time. Some of my best memories of her are from Colorado. Her company had a condo there and we went several times in both winter and summer. Skiing, biking, kayaking...she definitely liked to have fun.

I am heartbroken over this senseless loss. I have cried a river for my dear Kimmie. Kimmie was one of my best friends at The University of Florida and throughout my 20´s and 30´s. She was my college roommate and the best wingwoman to hit the town with. She was fun, mischievous, witty, calm, cool, collected and so incredibly smart. She was book smart, but more importantly street smart. I always felt safe with her. To know Kimmie was to love her. She was the reason our apartment was filled with so much kookiness that we laughed until we cried. I was lucky to call her my friend. I will cherish the countless memories and life´s milestones that we shared along the way. (Including my wedding, in which she served as a bridesmaid. She was adamant that her silver bridesmaid dress made her look like at Coors Light beer can) That was Kimmie in a nutshell. I miss my friend and wish I could give her one last hug. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

In college, Kimmie's parents bought her a Jeep Wrangler one weekend when she went back home. She drove it back to Gainesville from Orlando...the only problem, the Jeep was a stick shift and Kim did not know how to drive a stick! She took me and Meghan out for a test drive and stalled in an intersection so badly, we had to switch places so Meghan could drive us home. All the cars were honking at us. She was fearless and clueless, but mostly fearless!!! Love you for always Kimmie! Here is a picture of her with one of our favorite college treats...potatoes!
