Hi Kim things have been pretty crazy these past few years. Even though I have not written in here does not mean I/we don't think of you. You are forever in our thoughts, on our minds. I often wonder what you would be thinking of everything going on in this crazy world we live in now. Things have changed from when we were growing up not for the better. Love you!

So today was the Gravenstein Apple Fair and Kendall took the girls she watches and after Dawn and I took you some flowers. Carnations and Sun flowers. There is a new Apple tree planted near you the previous one was taken out. Dawn left you a apple remember how you loved them as a young boy I think that is one of my favorite memories. We miss you and love you!!! So hard to believe that it has been 9 years always in our thoughts and dreams. Still see that mixer of yours driving around and always know I will have a good day when I see it on my way to work. Love you Kim!!!

Good morning Kim, Getting emotional just sitting here and typing this it is now been 8 years that you left us and I often wonder what it is like beyond life here? I miss you and mom and dad so much!!! I saw your Mixer yesterday and as each time I see it I always great it with a good morning Kim as it is always in the morning and I then know I will have a great day!!! Can not believe it has been 8 years already seems like only yesterday Dawn, mom and I got to see you for the last time wish I would have known that would be the last day for us to see you to let you know how much you meant to us. But I think you already knew what a great brother you were and son.

Good Morning Kim, Happy Birthday had a thought today here you would be out making you way to the stores as you were working to buy some of your Christmas gifts before you had to get home to have dinner with Deb and the girls you always had a way to have it figured out what you would give and then be on a mission to find it sometimes calling to ask for ideas of where to go I so miss those times of hearing your voice on the other end of the phone or the excitement of Mom saying Kim Happy Birthday to you many, many more!!! A day does not go by that you are not on my mind or in our thoughts you left such a presence of being. xoxo

Well hello Kim, Kendall and I took a drive out to Mom and Dad and then you. Dawn placed a apple there for you, that was something Mom always did for you. Make's me think of when we were little. Good times, will always have those memories. We did the Japanese festival again this year still not the same without you and Mom. I bought a few plants a bamboo that did not make it. Wish you were still here when Kendall and I were in San Rafael thought of you and the sound of bee's. Remember my tree in front and you said it had a nest. Well a tree there had one too. I told Kendall and then we looked up to see them. Never found the hive though. I miss you and think of you often Hope your having fun in Heaven.

Good morning Kim today is your 3rd Birthday as an Angel in Heaven. Still finding it hard to believe it has been 3 years since you left us. There is a void in my heart. I miss talking with you I remember when you came to the house after work one day and pointed out all the bee's in the tree in the front yard...well believe it our not today is the day to count all the bee's as there is a shortage. Not in my yard though. Jeff had a memory garden planted for you and mom and there are lots of bee's to count today.
Love you and think of you often each and every day!!!

Kim, I love you, I think of you every day. I miss you so much. I was just remembering all the memories of when we were kids. It breaks my heart that you are not here. I know you are in a better place. I remember the song "we are family" and how you gave us that song. I love you. Your little sister.

To all the family,
I just found out about Kim and am so sorry for your loss. Kim was such a great guy and friend. It has been a long time but I still remember those days like they were yesterday because Kim was such a force of nature and energy. Like my dad used to say as his ultimate complement "Kim was Good People!"
Sending my love and prayers to all of you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Debbie and Family , My wife Judy and my condolences go out to you and your family . We are deeply saddened by your loss . Judy knew Kim as young as age 10 and has many fond memories of him . Her fondest memories are of Church Outings and especially Church Summer Camp at CAMP KOI "A" NEA in Watsonville . She says all the girls thought he was the cutest thing . And they all had crushes on him .My memories are of the traditional Scabo memories . I knew him through High School and am especially fond of the Santa Venetia ARCO days . Thanks for the memories Kim . We love you .

Deb and Family, Although I haven't seen Kim in over 20 years it's not hard to remember Kim. Kim was full of fun and always made me laugh. One memory of Kim was when we were young and were competing for a spot in a band as drummers, my strenghs were his weaknesses and vise-versa and we were both rejected, we often joked about who was better. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Kim was my cousin. When I heard the news about his passing, it brought back memories of our childhood many years ago. Unfortunately, as life tends to do, it went on and we went our separate ways. I cannot say that I knew the man, husband, father and grandfather that Kim became. The last time I saw him - maybe ten years ago at my sister's house, was the first time I'd seen him in probably twenty years. On that day he was just a nice, fun guy to be around. I really enjoyed the little time we spent together on that day. I'm glad to have fond memories of Kim. I'm sad that I never took the time to know him better. I'm sad that I'll not get that chance again.

Kim Gaynor was my brother and he was such an awesome person. He always stood up for what was right, always there for his family. He took such great care of his mom and she is so very proud of him and misses him so much. He was a great family man and took such great pride in his family and his work. He saved my life when I thought I was drowning in our back yard pool when I was about 10 years old, I wish I could have saved him. My brother was responsible, courageous, compassionate, loyal, honest, a great friend, persistent, a hard worker, self disciplined, faithful and so very much more. He had great character, and when God blessed my mom and dad with their first born son, they gave his sisters the greatest gift they could give, an awesome brother who would become our hero, and to his wife a wonderful husband and to his girls a loving dad and to his grandsons, a great mentor and loving grandpa. He was so much more than what I can write here and if you know him or ever got the chance to meet him, you would agree that he was such a great great man. I will forever miss my brother and forever love him.
