I knew Kim since my childhood, as her mom Ann was my mama's childhood and best friend, so our families spent alot of time together. I still recall 2 vivid memories of Kim that make me smile. As kids, we were in her bedroom, in the 70's and she had the jewelry box that when you opened it, it played music with a little ballerina dancing. Then we shared jewelry. Another, is when she came to my house for a sleep over with my sister and I, and we slept on the living room floor, and she couldn't sleep, as our kitchen clock made a noise every hour, and she would jump! We laughed so hard. Even though we spent zero time together as adults due to living miles apart, 2 different states, I hold these precious memories with her in my heart. I love the Bruzda family, all of them. Very blessed to still keep in touch with Kim's mom Ann, as my mama went to Heaven in 2023. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to Kim's entire family. In my thoughts and prayers.

I have fond memories of Friday nights at Pistol Pete´s with the Knights´, the Falens´, and the Laces´. When Nikki joined us in her infant seat as a newborn, Kim was such an attentive mother. Later, times at the Lake House were enjoyed by all. No one could prepare for a boat outing better than Kim. Blessings to all who loved Kim and will endure a loss in your hearts that only Kim could fill. As you are saying "there she goes" may others gone before her be shouting, "Look, here she comes!!"
