I was truly saddened to her that Kim had lost her battle with cancer. Kim and I worked together 15 years ago at Mobil Oil in Fairfax. She was a wonderful person. Kim had such a beautiful smile and bubbly nature. She always made me laugh. She was especially good natured when I teased her about her Boston accent. Though we had not kept in tough as deligently over the years, I will truly miss her. Kim left a lasting impact on others and made the world a better place. I pray the Lord will give Paige, Danielle, Matthew and the rest of the family the comfort and strength to carry on.
God bless you all.

I didn't know Kim personally but my sister Marty Carter and her family does. My heart goes out to all of Kim's family. You have been in my prayers since I heard of Kim's sickness. I pray that you will be comforted by God and that your faith and hope will be in Him. God bless your family. Sandi Large
