Kim was a good friend of my cousin and I met her briefly. The impact that her passing has on her friends and family, I know she was an angel. I want to let her children and family know that she is no longer suffering. Hold on and cherish the wonderful memories you have of her. And at all times, lean on God for all your support, for He will never leave your side.

NO WORDS COULD EVER EXPRESS THE SYMPATHY WE HAVE IN OUR HEARTS FOR YOU. STAY STRONG IN THE LORD, AND REMEMBER TO TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES AND BELIEVE THAT HIS STRENGTH SHALL DELIVER YOU.

Words can't begin to express the deep sadness I feel at the loss of my dear friend Kimberly.
We fought breast cancer together, and even though she has now lost her fight, she is still a survivor.
Although I became a mentor to Kim because she was diagnosed after I was, along the way, Kim was the one who taught me. Kim's sweet, gentle spirit touched so many lives.
I believe that Kim is now with Jesus and would want each of us to take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain and is now finding rest in the arms of her loving Savior Jesus Christ.

(Matt 5:4)
My sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Ms. Kimberly Benton. As a member of the graduating class of 1997, I would also like to pay respects to my fellow classmates who maintained a relationship with Ms. Benton after graduation. After having the opportunity to read the Guest Book entries, it is evident that Kimberly was not only loving but loved by many. Remember that of which she imparted in your lives, for it is what will keep you linked to a spiritual connection that will never be broken. For we are spirtual beings, our bodies die but our spirts live forever.-
Deepest Condolences,

To Family and Friends,
For we love ours love ones, but god loves us more. We're all here on borrowed time, so make the most of each day. Tell those around you how much you love them.
Where ever I saw Kim, there was April. The two of them would always greet me with a smile. Small conversation, and then we continue what we were doing before we saw each other. For no one knows the minute, nor the hour that we will be called, so I can truley say her smile is a blessing that we all share.To Kim's family, may God forever bless and keep you.
Deepst Condolences,

MY Big Cousin KIM
Cuz aint no words to express to how much ima miss you, and you know everything you told me that day outside of church im going to keep deat to my heart. Thats why i dedicate graduating to you. I know if you were able you would have been there and i just want you to know I LOVE YOU AND SEE YOU LATER!!!!!
Here is A poem i made for you......
She went 12 rounds but in most fights there has to be a winner
she lost between a split decision where his hands were rasied in the center
the fight is over for her but she still wins in a way
because she gets to chill with god until judgement day
a long nap with no knowledge of ending
til the man from above is done with all his healing
tell him to heal me first because my mind is in a shock
my heart crys, my souls fear, and my body is as still as a rock
she leaves but we can only mourn
our heart is a bit shattered or better yet torn
because of the place she opened up to live in forever
so in my heart she will live in until we are together
love you big cuz

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to all the family members and friends of Kim. Kim and I became friends in middle school and we went on to high school together and graduated. I met her because Chalon and I were friends. Although we grew apart at some point, we would still always ask about each others families and talk for a while. She was always a sweet person and she will be greatly missed. She is etched in my memory, our fun at Bartlett, our time on the phone, our trips to the movies, our mothers who were strict, and all of the good times that she, chalon, and I had together. I will continue to keep your children in my prayers as well as the rest of your family. We must watch over your children and guide them down the right roads in life.
P.S. Chalon please contact me when you have time.

Kim was my friend. We worked together for a short while but in that short time I came to love this girl. Kim was a lovely soul, now she is an angel and feels no more pain. For this I am thankful. My heart aches for her girls. I want the girls to know that their mama loved them dearly and she will always be watching over them. Rest in peace my friend.

Just Call On Me
I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.
Deep Condolences,

Words cannot express the pain I feel for you, I had the pleasure to meet Kim years ago through Chalon and I must say the years I've known her have been a great pleasure for indeed she was always the life of the party. She was always the one to put her issues or troubles to the side to help you laugh and make it out of yours. To her family, Ms. Lorraine, Stacy, Kindra, Chalon and Talibra she no longer suffers, Tyra and Nakerah (sp) need you now more than ever to help keep her memories alive. May God keep you and may you be strong while you grieve for her.

To My Dear Niece;
Seasons
We go through so many changes in life just like the seasons
And just like the seasons change, things happen in our lives for a reason
The winter may be cold and harsh but it teaches you strength.
The spring brings birth and a renewal for life and the will to endure
The summer heat teaches humility and patience,because all things happen in there on time.
And the fall is a time of reflection and acceptance
Some people enter your life just for a season
But there passing through was for a reason
And just like the winter there will to live teaches you to be strong.
And like the spring,they leave you memories which will help you heal and move on
And like the summer they remind you they did't give up, it was their time
And like the fall they allow you to accept the purpose and happiness they brought to your life.
And although the seasons seem to go and come so quickly, I will keep your memory with me for a reason because you taught me to smile and enjoy life no matter the season.
Niecey, I love you and I will miss you for the rest of my live! Love AuntieTracy
