To a loving Family whom I have known over 35 years. Watching Kim as she displayed a heart full of love and her beautiful smile. Dave and your family I can't find enough words to say. Through love and sorrow I needed to select this SPECIAL DAY "CHRISTMAS DAY" for we to remember Christ who is The Prince of Peace. I am thankful to have you in my life and will never forget you as you enter the eternal peace with him.
I LOVE YOU KIM!

KIM! This really doesn't seem real. This is such a loss to everyone who had the chance to meet you. We were both cousins and friends - I will never forget our great times as kids/teens and young adults. You were such a big part of my life and one of the most loyal individuals I have ever had the liberty to know. I know you are now in heaven watching down on everyone. Please know that your memory will never fade. Love you always.

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your beloved Kim whose tragic death at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses.
We ask for God's blessings on your family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence by remembering you do not walk alone.
In deepest sympathy.
