Kimberly Krause Obituary

KIMBERLY DAWN KRAUSE Age 32, was born on February 18th, 1980 in Long Beach, Ca to Lawrence and Lori Krause. She passed away on April 12, 2012 in a motor accident in Garden Grove, Ca. She is survived by her three sons Neil, Davis, and Samuel; her father, Lawrence Krause; her brothers, Lawrence Jr. and Bradley; her sisters, Kelly and Katherine; her grandmother, Shirley Muckey; and grandfather, John Krause.

She loved to travel and spent much of her life going wherever the wind took her. Kimberly's free spirit and peaceful outlook on life touched everyone she encountered and she will be deeply missed and loved forever by all who knew her. Funeral services for Kimberly will be held on Thursday, April 19th, 2012 at Dimond & Shannon Mortuary at 11am in Garden Grove, CA.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. Kim was my older sister and it breaks my heart to know that she's gone now.. But it helps heal it little by little when I read how many people cared about her and my family. I will miss her so much. Love you always, sister. Peace.

To the Family of Kimberly Dawn. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each of you. I lost my daughter (she was 37) on June 3, 2009 in a car accident. Her name was Kimberly Dawn. My Kimmy was also born in Long Beach (Memorial Hospital), had blonde hair, was so very beautiful, had that free spirit, and was loved by so many. I wish I could tell you that it gets easier with time. I still look at her pictures hanging on my wall...my heart aches wanting to speak with her and tell her that I love her one more time! It is so hard to understand why something like this happen, but I have faith that we will all be reunited again and my heart takes comfort to think Kim will never have to go through the aches and pain of growing old, never getting cancer or illness...she will forever be young, beautiful, and is our Guardian Angel. To Kimberly D's three boys, watch for butterflies. That's their MaMa's sweet, free spirit coming back to earth to watch over them. God bless you all. I hope the cherished memories of your Kimberly Dawn will live forever in your hearts.
