To the Adams Family,

I went to Mercy with Kim. We did not have many classes together, but I remember spending time with her in between classes. She was vibrant, friendly, and time spent in the company of Kim always meant enjoying laughs and good times. She was beautiful inside and out. I am so sorry for your loss. Kim will be remembered fondly. God bless you, all.

Mr & Mrs Admas & Artie

My families hearts and prayers go out to all of you at this most difficult time. Although it had been awhile since I saw Kim, I will always remember her as an outgoing ray of sunshine who lived life to the fullest. I will always remember fondly that wonder trip to Lake Tahoe where the old group from San Francisco rented a cabin, played in the snow all day. I know for myself I had a great time and Kim was the life of the party. May the Lord bless and keep you all.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Adams and Artie,
I have wonderful memories of my friendship with Kim starting out in 1st grade at St. Emydius. Talk about adorable! Kim was (as my Dad would say) as cute as a button. I loved playing after school at your home with Kim. Mrs Adams, you were always so welcoming. I used to look up to Officer Adams and was so impressed. It was obvious Kim felt the same way. Artie, it was fun watching Kim's big brother star on the basketball team. I'm sorry, though, my favorite was Kim. She had that pretty smile and infectious laugh. After playing, she would walk me halfway home to Manor Dr. where I lived. She didn't want me to walk all of the way alone. How sweet. We went on to Mercy High together. I had the priveledge of watching that cute little girl grow into a lovely young lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Adams and Artie,
I am so shocked and terribly sorry to hear about Kim. I loved playing at your home after school at St. Emydius with Kim. Mrs Adams, you always made me feel so welcome. I remember Officer Adams coming home from work and being so impressed by him. Artie was so funny and so great to watch play basketball. There was something special about Kim. She had that pretty smile and sweet attitude. She'd always walk me halfway home to Manor Dr. after playing together. How cute! I will always cherish those 'St. Emydius' Days. Kim & I went on to Mercy High together. She really blossomed from an adorable little girl into a lovely young woman.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and yours.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Carter

Mr and Mrs Adams and Artie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Kim was when my mother passed away. She stopped by the house and we talked. I appreciated her coming by. She was a very sweet person and I am saddened by her passing.

Artie and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Kim at the Bank Of America right after High School. I hadn't seen Kim for almost 30 years when I ran into her at Serramonte Auto Body two years ago. To me she looked the same. Again sorry for your loss.
