I don't even know where to start. You've been gone a year today and I miss you every day!! So hard for me to believe that my oldest daughter went before me. I really lost a lot of will. Your entire family misses you. I can see you walking through Trinity's front door and say "hello family"! I love you Kimmy!

I have so many beautiful memories of Kim as a toddler, a young child, and our terrific week together in New York City seeing the world through a 10 year old's eyes. She was loved by the Waddell and Criss families, as was her mother, Donna. I am so sorry that she had to endure the ravages of cancer and leave us all much too soon. Sending love to Donna, Trinity, Tiffany, Jordan, Zach, and Jake. Love, Aunt Beryl.

Kim was a sweet, gentle soul. All who knew her share a broken heart today. May God ease the pain of her family and friends. Rest in the arms of our Lord, sweet Kim.

My heart is heavy for the loss of such a beautiful lady and old childhood friend. I had the pleasure of seeing Kim after many many years had passed and learned of her illness by others. Not from Kim. She never brought it up and you would never know by looking at her. She looked as radiant as ever and full of life and joy.
She will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her. RIP dear friend.
Heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends.

Kim always had a lovely smile for everyone. She was always so gracious and I feel honored to have known her. This village will always miss her. My condolences to her family.

I got to meet Kim on July 4, in fact. There's a FB pic of that day that I took and it shows a happy relaxed vibrant woman, which is how I knew her for that short time on a nice holiday. She could live forever and you'd never know she was sick. I've never met anyone like Kim and I know I won't again. Many blessings to all her family and friends at this sad time. I am honored to have the memory of her with me!
