I wish to express my sorrow at the passing of Kima. She was a classmate of mine at Hawkinsville High School. I remember her as a quiet and kind person. I hope her family will take solace in the fact that she is with the Lord of Heaven.

We spent many an hour trying to teach young Girl Scouts how to up tents. Our time was rewarded when we consistantly beat the Boy Scouts .
Kima will be greatly missed.

How sad I was to learn of Kima's passing! I had the pleasure of being her mail carrier for 5 years until retirement.She was a wonderful friend to me and will be sorely missed. We always thought it was funny that my granddaughters name is Bailey so I never forgot her dogs name......and he always would come to the fence when I pulled up in the mailtruck,cock that head and wait for me to call his name! Also I always gained a few pounds at Christmas eating the great goodies she baked.Holding your family close....God Bless

TO the entire family, I know this is such a tragic loss, and a terrible experience for you all, Your Mom was loved beyond your knowledge and was a huge positive impact on so many. She was a good woman and this world is not nearly as good as it was with her in it. We loved her, too. Prayers for strength and comfort, for all of the family.

My Mother and I would like to express heartfelt sympathy for the great loss of a terrific lady that gave to all--family, friends, neighbors, and MOST of all to her Girl Scouts. We would not be where we are today without her devotion and love of Scouting. She will be misssed.

Tim, Patty, Larry & Kerry,
Thinking of you in your time of loss. If you ever want to talk or just have someone to listen you know how to reach me. Fondly remember your parents and feel your pain. Been 22 for Bill & 20 for Roxie last year, wish I could tell you it gets easier but with Hurshel being gone also I know you know that it really doesn't. My love and thoughts to all.

Anita, Corrine, and Kima---those three had been neighbors and friends, in the same houses, for about forty years. Kima was always there to help in any way possible. Kima provided valuable strength and guidance during my mother's life and especially during the final years of my mother's life.
My family and I will always remember and think of Kima. Winston Drive will not seem the same without Kima.

Larry, Tim, Patty, Kerry,
I have SO many wonderful Girl Scout memories with all of you! New Orleans, Washington DC, Camp Mani Pines, Camp Martha Johnston.....Tent Staking Races..........I probably would not have continued GS through 12th grade if it had not been for Ms. Kima, and I loved her dearly.....and I'm sure I'm a much better person because of Kima's influence. I will keep you all in my prayers during this sad time.
