Kim,
Many tears has cost us to admit that you will not be physically among us. We follow the path of life with what appears to be happiness, but the heart is hard to deceive. Our love left with you, distance does not matter, death cannot take away what we have, the echo of your voice, your smile, and the unforgettable memory of your love.

My most sincere condolences to your children and family. God bless you all.

Holding you all in my heart, thoughts, and prayers... Kim's daughters, son, parents, sister, other relatives, and friends.... All of those who loved you dearly and will continue to love you and make sure that all of your children know exactly what a special person you were in your time here... Special thoughts for Carly & Audrey and for "Mrs. & Mr. Baucom" - It's been about 25 years but I still have wonderful memories of Mrs. Baucom's 7th-grade history class... she was so good at keeping junior high brats engaged, interested, and entertained!! I'm sure Kim was an equally wonderful teacher (I know several former students who name her as their Favorite of All Time..) Love and peace to the Baucoms, Sullivans, and Conovers... ~Rachel (Jones) Ayala

It's been difficult searching for the right words for an appropriate expression of sympathy. We never met Kim but know her wonderful sister Lori. It's clear, based on what others have expressed, the community has lost a deeply caring teacher and a loving soul. May you find some solace in the positive impact that she had in her many roles as an educator, mother, daughter and sister. Our thoughts are with you.
