It would be hard to sum up how I felt about Kim in a paragraph. She was a great friend in so many ways and a good person on this earth. I thought we would grow old together, laughing at the mundaneness of life. I hope she knows what she meant to me.
See you on the other side Perz Pot Pie....love, Kilp head.

Kim has been a dear friend since we both graduated from EC. Over the years, we grew closer. She often spent holidays and weeks in the summer with us. She was "Auntie Kim" to my children. We laughed often and solved the world´s problems over a cup of coffee. She loved her life in the UP and her dogs. Always had a compassionate heart for animals and people. Love and miss you, Kim! Fly on angels´ wings!

Kim and I met when we worked together at the Chamber. Kim Susan and I were the three that worked together the most and we were the best of friends. We have stayed connected since and she came to visit me a couple of yrs ago. I will sincerely miss her.

I am so sorry to hear of Kim´s passing. I used to work with her and she was in my Mary Kay unit for a while. I enjoyed many good conversations and laughs with her. We share the love of our puppies. I think of her often and now I´m very sad to know that she´s passed. My prayers of comfort to the family.
