Charlie and Girls,

My deepest condolences to each one of you. Kim was such an inspiration, a strong gal who exhibited a lot of joy and love.
She helped manage my dad‘s care when he was in Good Shepherd and cautiously and caringly managed his rehabilitation which meant a lot to me.
i’m sure that Jesus embraced her saying: “Well done my daughter, my good and faithful servant.”
Sending each of you a warm embrace,
JoAnne Garbarini

Charlie and Girls;
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of my dear friend Kim. She was such an inspiration to me, with so much positivity, intelligence, and so much love exuding from her. How we cheered our girls onto victory at the Blue Eagle volleyball games, how we conversed about high school, volleyball, and life in general. How we had snack duties at those games! She was always so upbeat!

She was such a beautiful lady, outside and in. She so loved her family, and was so proud of her girls. They were her everything. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Rest in peace forever. Friends forever!

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Kim from working with her at LCCC years ago and was happy that our paths crossed again at Good Shepherd. Kim was such a beautiful, kind, and intelligent person. She was so very proud of her beautiful daughters! I always admired Kim’s positive attitude and energy. And her infectious smile! She truly lit up the room with her presence. May you all find peace now and always.

I meet Kim while I was her interim manager at Good Shepherd. She was always making sure that the patients and care givers impacted by the health information systems where being helped and not burden by the system. We become friends and stayed in touch after I moved on. I held her friendship very dear. I wish her family my condolences and know she is with God in heaven.
