I met Kim (and her amazing daughters) through her dear friend, Tom, who I know loved her very much. Kim came with Tom often to support the volunteer work we did for Strides for Africa and Feeding Mouths Filling Minds, and she was always so happy to learn about our work and support us. She had that kind of aura that was pure-hearted. She was kind and generous and I can feel how missed she'll be. Peace to you, gentle Kim. May you rest easy and know somehow that you left a beautiful mark on this world.

Kim was a gentle soul who brought calm and kindness to every room. She lived with quiet strength and a peaceful heart, offering comfort, compassion, and steady love to those around her. Her presence was grounding, and way of life inspired others to slow down, listen, and lead with grace. Though she is no longer with us, their peaceful spirit will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

My deepest condolences for the infinite amount of amazing souls that have all been blessed with the sunshine Kim brings with her; eternally in spirit. Having the honor of being with, speaking with, sharing the warmest, most sincere embraces and dancing while making music with Kim is a gift that keeps on giving. My heart and sincerest gratitude and condolences to her family and loved ones could never be summed up into words... Kim´s love is everlasting as she continues to be a guardian angel and spirit guide for us all. The love will never seize to be in bloom and bring me joy, as the heartfelt memories will never be forgotten... All of my love

Sorry for your loss. I knew Kim in high school. I attached some pictures I had from long ago. She was a good friend to me in school. We kept in touch through facebook. Wishing your family peace through this difficult time. Kris Hughes
