Kia was a beautiful person inside and out. Met her at Lima Manor and became friends. She was so down to earth and had a fun loving spirit. Also had good times with her in CPR classes at Lima memorial Hospital. She loved her children and they are so beautiful. Shocked that she is gone. Rest in Peace. Kia. Praying for the Cannon family.

Its been years since I have seen or spoken to u, but I always thought about you. Sometimes we dont always understand the Lord's wisdom, but we simply have to trust his will. You will never be forgotten, and I will always keep your family and your kids in our prayers. U were such a beautiful person with a golden soul, such a nice, sweet person, and I admired you as a mother. Its not easy knowing that when I come home to visit I will never run into you again, but I know I will see u again in heaven one day. Rest easy....

To all of my loving family, in the Eternal Blood and Light of Yeshua, and on the authority of the name of Jesus, I decree, declare, and proclaim the manifestation of the presence of Our Father, Elohim, His presence, His love, and His comfort to you. And, I agree with His Word, Matthew 5:4, "blessed are they who mourn, they will be comforted." I remember Kia most affectionately. May the Joy of the Lord be your strength, Nehemiah 8:10. Love you all. Cookie
