Kim,



I am sorry it has taken me this long to write in your guest book, I guess I am just starting to face the fact that your really gone. We have gone through so much in the few years that i've known you, breakups, small fights, and a lot more little stuff. We have so many memories together but the one that I remember most was the day before I left for basic training when we went to the movies together. When we ate at Taco Bell and then went to Rave and saw Troy, and the whole time you kept saying how sexy Brad Pitt was! I remember on the way back to town you almost hit a car and you begged me not to tell anybody how bad you were driving. Finally I remember when we got back to town and stopped at Sonic and you gave me a big hug and said "go become a man", that was the last time I saw you. The whole time I was at basic, I tried to call you every week but never could get a hold of you until the sunday before the accident. I finally got to talk to you, I was crying, you were crying, we were both so happy to talk to one another. We made plans to go out to the movies that Saturday after I got back. On August 5th when I graduated basic, all I could think about was you telling me to go become a man, well i did. When my dad told me what happened on that Friday, i couldnt say anything, I just cried the whole 13 hour ride back home. Kim, I loved you so much and still do! If I could go back in time I would have never left so just maybe we could have been together. I might not have been able to stop what happened but at least I would have the chance to tell you "I LOVE YOU" since I never got to. Even though I am starting to get over what happened, I will NEVER get over you. I will always love and you will always be in my heart! I pray for the day I will get to see you again and tell you face to face how i've always felt about you. Until that day, take care of yourself and take care of Chelsea, Kaylon, Austin, Tim, and Justin. I LOVE YOU!!!





Love always,

Brandon

My Dearest Kim,



One year, one month and one day. Some may say thats not long but to me its already been a lifetime of pain without you. Sometimes I wonder what your doing during a certain time of the day. Its unbearable going from knowing everything thats going on in your life, going from spending time together and growing together, going from making plans for the future and knowing you would be with me always..to not knowing anything at all about what your doing or how you feel. Its unbearable the not knowing. The only thing I am sure of is that your in Heaven and my special guardian angel. It brings me comfort knowing your watching over me and loving me as always. There are many times I have felt your presence, caught a glimpse of you and heard your voice and for that I am very grateful. I know its your way of bringing me some comfort. To let me know your still with me. To let me know your just a whisper away.

Alot of this you already know because I talk to you all the time but I can never say it enough because the grief is to overpowering to explain even if you had 5000 years to find a way.



I speak of you often. Your name comes into conversations everyday. Just as it did when you were alive. Thats how it will always be. You meant to much to me and we had too much love together so I could never act like you don't exist or try to get over you or your memory. You deserve better than that. I will keep your memory alive.



I am trying to live my life again as I know you would want me to but its hard. Its hard because its without you and therefor its a new life that was never planned so I have no idea what I'm living or what to look forward to other than being with you again. But as hard as I try I still don't feel the sun or the rain..nothing but pain and an undying love for you.

I still hear the screaming in my head that I've had since the moment I found out you were gone. I doubt it will ever go away.



I relive our memories all the time and constantly stare at your pictures. I miss you so so much. I love you with all my heart and soul for you are my heart and soul.- You are my baby sister and the best friend I ever had.- I can't cry enough for you.

I love you Kimberly!



A year has come and gone,

And you, so far away from me now;

But in my heart still.

Forever, I will hold you close.

Each smile, laugh and tear I’ve cried

A testament to your presence.

I will always love you,

No matter what happens.

Your death can not separate us.

I’m right here, loving you as always.

My heart is true and strong.

I will never forget your spirit.

I am no longer afraid.

To live or die is the same for me.

You are with me on this journey.

I raise your light to the heavens, and smile.



Missing and Loving you Always!

September 5, 2005

A shadow of joy flickered; it is me.

I told you I wouldn't leave.

My memories, my thoughts are imbedded deep in your heart.

I still love you.

Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.

I am in the Light.

In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard ~

these are the places I stay with you.

My spirit rises every time you pray for me,

but my energy comes closer to you.

Love does not diminish; it grows stronger.

I am the feather that finds you in the yard,

the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind,

I place our memories for you to see.

We lived in our special way,

a way that now has its focus changed.

I still crave your understanding

and long for the many words of prayer

and good fortune for my soul.

I am in the Light.

As you struggle to adjust without me,

I watch silently.

Sometimes I summon up all the strength of my new world

to make you notice me.

Impressed by your grief,

I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.

As you should, I call out to the Heavens for help.

You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.

My soul is now healthy.

Your love sends me new found energy.

I am adjusting to this new world.

I am with you and I am in the Light.

Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.

I am with you wherever you go.

I protect you,

just as you protected me so many times.

Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.

Mother, Father, sister.

Whatever our connection,

I see you with my new eyes.

I am learning to help wherever you are, wherever I am needed.

This can be done because I am in the Light.

When you feel despair, reach out to me. I will come.

My love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.

Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had

when we were together in the physical sense.

You owe this to me, but more importantly,

you owe it to yourself.

Life continues for both of us.

I am with you because I love you

and I am in the Light

I see the guest book will be closing in a few days. I wanted to let the family know how sorry I am for your loss. Even now, Kim still touches lives. I know she has touched mine. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers!

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

(Matthew 5:4)



For those who mourn and remember Kimberly with every breath they take. For those whos lives were so touched by Kim that every day is a struggle without her. For God has you in his hands as you mourn and he will comfort you throughout.

David, Monika and Jennifer



Sometimes when we are grieving we hardly can get our bodies to move. Sometimes moving is the farthest thing from our minds. We just want to sit and curl up and pretend the day is not starting.



Most of us...even you...can put one very heavy foot before the other and move any ways. For the first while, every move can hurt when grief is so fresh with us.



Movement is important in the grieving process. It helps our grief to move. We need to move our bodies and as we do, our grieving souls begin to move.



We need to do some things even if our souls feel like they have been left behind. We may even need to force ourselves. Yet as we begin to move back into life... movement begins to feel easier.



I am a strong believer that as we move our bodies...our souls heal...even when we don't think they are. Sometimes when we move we find ourselves crying especially on a walk or a run.



So go to the movie or for a walk or a drive. You are going to hurt anyways. Move the grief in you so it can heal.



The family is constantly in my prayers!

Kim,

I just wanted to tell you I miss you and love you. I keep telling myself I should have told you more before but then I remember one day I'll be able to see you again and tell you again. Watch over us all...lots of love

August 4, 2005

I never got the opportunity to meet Kim. You would think I would, with Jennifer living 2 doors down from me for so long. But since Nov., I feel like I've known her. From her friends, the guest book, and Jennifer I can see what a special person she was, loved by all that met her. Her smile lights up her pictures. She had a heart full of love. I thank everyone who has shared Kim with me. When you do this, it helps her live on. I can't imagine how tough this year has been for you. I think of you often, and pray for you constantly.

Ali

August 4, 2005

I can't believe it's been a year... I can't believe that i have felt this pain for an entire year. It still seems like you were just talking to me or sitting next to me. I left some small gifts on your grave today, i hope you like them! I know you do acutally. We always used to say that we know each other too well. That's not such a bad thing. I love you so much! I miss you everyday. Thank you for the impact that you have out on my life... (i've been thanking you a lot lately) I'm always thinking of you! ~All my Love~

August 4, 2005

Kim,



Its been to long since I've seen your smile and heard your laugh. I want you to tell me everything will be ok...tell me I'll see you again. I miss you so much..One year has gone but it's felt like an eternity...I love you and miss you forever

August 4, 2005

A Stranger Who Cares

August 2, 2005

To Kim's family as well as Chelsea's family and Kaylen's family: you are being prayed for during this week. The depth of your sorrow must be unimaginable. This guestbook shows how much people care, and I hope that helps soothe the sorrow at least a little.

July 31, 2005

I wanted the family to know that while you are always in my prayers, I will be thinking even more about you this week.

Your Jenn

Normal.......a very much overused word I believe.



I have wailed like an animal

I have raged at God

I have lost my faith

I have been still-completely

I have been numb

My memory-gone

I have felt more pain than I thought ever possible

I have done things that defy anything logical

I have pushed and shoved friends and family away

I have isolated

I became brutally honest

Concentration? gone

WHO AM I???

My gracious, beautiful, sweet sister was only 17.

Yet I exist.



(My heart is aching more and more for you everyday. I love and miss you so much sweetie. The pain just gets deeper. I would give anything to see you, hold you, talk to you...to just have you back. I still can't believe this nightmare happened!!!)



Sending you all my love!

Forever, Kim



Forever, Kim,

I will miss you,

Until the end of time.

Forever, Kim,

We'll long for you,

As each day passes by.





As long as there is

Breath in me

I will remember you.

as long as I am

On this earth

I will miss you.



Untill my life

Comes to a end

And I reach Heaven's Door;

Every day I live

I want you near,

To feel your touch once more

To see your beautiful face,

To see you smile.



Forever, Kim,

Waiting for the day

When we will be

Together again.





I LOVE YOU

Hey Sweetie, I wrote you a couple of days ago but it never came up. I had my birthday last Sunday and I wish you were here to celebrate it with me. I was gonna out that Friday but I didn't and one reason was because you weren't there with me because you know how we were at parties acting a fool as you said in your journal entry. Kim, you were the only person who understood me so much and you don't know how much I miss you. I feel like I don't have that with anyone anymore. I think about you everyday. The other day was the first day I actually went up to see you by myself. It was so hard, but I could talk to you and tell you everything that was going on, but the only problem was you couldn't answer me back, so I started to cry. Kim, I love you with all my heart and miss you dearly. I love you so much. You're always with me.

Kim,

You have inspired me more in these past almost 4 years then anybody else has in my 18 years of living. I wish you were here when I really need you. I could always cry on your shoulder about anything and you the same of course. It's been hard living without you and Alexis and I try to live as if y'all were here. I know y'all are watching over all of us and I know you hear my cries and see my tears. I wish you were here and I miss you like crazy. Sometimes I start with the "what ifs", and I remember I can't do that b/c everyone is put here and taken away no matter what we do. You were very special to me and you still are. Everyone misses you so much, help us stay strong Kim...I love you CeCe

No words capture her

No quote suffices

We love you and miss you so much!

Graduation was a sad time for us without you. But know this: You were in all our hearts and minds throughout graduation ceremonies.



Love you Kim: Forever Missed

We wanted to let the Cornette family know Kimberly is still missed and we think of her often.

We were so saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved daughter and sister. There are no words that can ever bring comfort but please know that our love, prayers, and thoughts are with you all as you endure this life changing tragedy. We have no bible quotes to offer and certainly no words of advice, but please know that our hearts are with you and we will think of you often as you have to live on this earth, forever changed, without Kimberly. May God be with you.



All our love,

Ali

June 24, 2005

Hey sweety! I know it has been a while since i've written but you know how busy I am and that even though I may not write all the time, I think about you every minute of the day... It's amazing how much I relate things that happen on a day to day basis to things that we used to do or the crazy things you used to do! Ya know... I know this is crazy but i sometimes think that you gave me some of your spastic energy. I'll be at work dancing around and someone will ask what has gotten into me and I'm like... Kim! I know it's you but that's ok because I make better money that way hehe! I went and scheduled my calsses and I just kept thinking "Kim should be here doing this with me right now!" It's so hard! I miss you so much!!! You were supposed to be here for everything to come! I know you're here spiritually, but I want you here physically! I miss you! I love you and no matter what, we'll always be best friends! I love you!!!!

Chelsea Belle

June 24, 2005

Hey Sweetie,

I know it's been a while and I'm sorry about that. I was glad to go and see you the other day. I'm probably going up there today or tomorrow sometime. I can actually go by myself now whenever I want to so I can talk to you. A lot of stuff has been going on lately and I have no idea why. You know, something has got to be going on in St. Francisville though. Kim, you don't know how much I miss you. I look at that journal entry everyday and think about all of the good times we had together. I love you and miss you so much. I love you!!

June 23, 2005

This is my wish list for my mom and myself



A Wish List…



• I wish you would not be afraid to speak my Kims name. She lived and is important and I need to hear her name.



• If I cry and get emotional when we talk about Kim, I wish you knew that it isn't because you hurt me: the fact that she died causes my tears.



• If you have allowed me to cry then I thank you. Crying and emotional outbursts are healing.



• I will have emotional highs and lows, ups and downs. I wish you wouldn't think that if I have a good cry my grief is all over, or that if I have a bad day I need counseling.



• Being Bereaved is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't stay away from me.



• I wish you knew all the "crazy" grief reactions that I am having are in fact very normal. Depression, anger, fear, hopelessness and questioning of values and beliefs are to be expected following a death.



• I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over after 10 and a half months. The first few years are going to be exceedingly traumatic for me. I will never be "cured" or a "formerly bereaved", but forever more be recovering from my bereavement.



• I wish you understood the physical reaction to grief. I may gain weight, lose weight, sleep all the time or not at all, develop a host of illnesses and be accident prone, all of which are related to my grief.



• Kimberlys Birthday, the anniversary of her death and the holidays are terrible times for us. Everyday is really a terrible time for us. I wish you could tell us that you are thinking of us and her on these days. And if we get quiet and withdrawn, just know that we are thinking about them and don't try to coerce us into being cheerful.



• I wish you understood that grief changes people. I am not the same person I was before my beloved died and I will never be that person again. If you keep waiting for me to "get back to my old self" you will stay frustrated. I am a new creature with new thoughts, dreams, aspirations, values and beliefs. Please try to get to know this different me -- I'm the one who'll be here from now on.



Jenn

I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER

June 21, 2005

I was reading through the guest book and saw where Jennifer wrote "Friday's here, but Sunday's coming". Hold on to that and don't let it go. Remember He's coming again and Kimberly will be with Him when He does. I want you to know you are in my prayers constantly. Sending you all my love.

June 21, 2005

Beautiful angel...

You sprouted your wings and flew to heaven…

…sent to watch over us with your beautiful baby blue eyes.

And although we had no fore warning and we feel it’s not fair, you are greatly loved and appreciated in what you gave to each and every soul you touched.

So appreciated, so loved and so missed… that it is unexplainable and inexpressible of the human mind to translate to words or expressions.

Every thought of you brings an aching joy to my heart.

Its hard losing loves to an enemy we cannot escape.

You will live on forever in my heart.



I love you kim.

Hi Kimmy...I know it's been a while, and I'm sorry. I go and see Mimi and Papa wheneverI can. I saw an old videotape of our 8th grade play with you in it and it made me laugh seeing us that young. I wish you were still here even if just for a minute so i could see you, speak with you, tell you I'm sorry and that I love you. I so wish you were still here...maybe we could have even gone on our roadtrip...

Love you always

To Kim's Family

I just want you to know that I think of Kim everyday. I know what you are going through and I just don't know how we make it each day without them. I pray for your comfort. Glorious will be the day we see our children again, but until then I wish you peace in knowing we will be with them one sweet day.

Hey Kim! Do you like the apartment?! I've had so much going on that I've barely been able to breathe! I miss you! I think about you day and night and miss you constantly! You know that saying "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" When you left, I realized how much you meant to me. I mean I knew when you were here... That's why I always told you I love you... But, You are my best friend and I feel like I took advantage of that. I always let my feelings out with you and expected you to listen. But i guess you did the same to me huh... Hey, what are friends for? Now, I still let my feelings out to you, but it's not exactly fair because I can't hear yours... I love you and miss you bunches!!!! Forever~

Kim,

I have so many memories with you that just keep popping up in my head. The more I think about you the more that come to me. We had so much fun together and we goofed off so much. It's hard not having you here physically to laugh at them with me but I know you're here everyday. I love you and miss you like crazy..help us all stay strong..Love Cassie

Hey sweety! Well things are hectic around here! I'm getting ready to move and start my new job! I'm scared. But I know you're there helping me along! Kim, please just don't let me give up! It's so hard sometimes to get out of bed and face what life throws at me! I want so much to just act like I don't have worries and do whatever I want to that day! But i know that I have these responsibilities and I have to go to work and school and do the things that I don't really want to. Just help me get through each day with a smile please. You've helped me get through everyday so far! All I have to do is think of one of your goofy events and I'm back on track! Wish me luck!! I LOVE YOU!!

My Sister



My sister is my heart.

She opens doors to rooms

I never knew were there,

Breaks through walls

I don't recall building.

She lights my darkest corners

With the sparkle in her eyes.



My sister is my soul.

She inspires my wearied spirit

To fly on wings of angels

But while I hold her hand

My feet never leave the ground.

She stills my deepest fears

With the wisdom of her song.



My sister is my past.

She writes my history

In her eyes I recognize myself,

Memories only we can share.

She remembers, she forgives

She accepts me as I am

With tender understanding.



My sister is my future.

She lives within my dreams

She sees my undiscovered secrets,

Believes in me as I stumble

She walks in step beside me,

Her love lighting my way.



My sister is my strength

She hears the whispered prayers

That I cannot speak

She helps me find my smile,

Freely giving hers away

She catches my tears

In her gentle hands.



My sister is like no one else

She's my most treasured friend

Filling up the empty spaces

Healing broken places

She is my rock, my inspiration.

Though impossible to define,

In a word, she is...my sister.





"I miss you sweetheart. It was so hard to go to graduation and not see you down on the field graduating. It all seems so unreal. Halfway through the ceremony, I couldn't take it anymore so we walked out and went to visit you. It was heart wrenching to have to leave your graduation you should've been in, to go visit your grave instead. I love you sweetie and really wish all this would go away and you would come back".



Hugs and Kisses

I love you!

Dear Kimmie,

I believe you are always near.I know you are watching everything we are going thru this month. Graduation has been hard on us all.But in my heart of hearts, I know you are at peace and you are happy. As much as we all wish none of that horrible day had happened,it did. Our lives were changed forever.Not much in this life is fair. Sometimes nothing seems right.But I know you want everyone to go on and be happy and live their lives.You are always in my heart and always will be.There are no answers to the question why my sister, my daughter, my niece,my best friend was taken from us all.The best gift we could all give to Kim is to remember the wonderful, caring ,loving young women she was.Try to remember how she lived her life. An open heart. A ready smile. That unique gift to make even a stranger see that inner beauty of her soul.I pray every night that you will come to Mo and Jenn and make them see that you want them to go on.Both are having a rough time of it all.Everytime I feel the void and get drawn into that black hole, I go to another place.I remember you laughing. I remember being at the mall in Texas and eating gods knows how many pieces of Godiva chocolates. But most of all, I see you with Mom and Dad and I know you are all happy.I love you Kimmie and I will carry you here in my heart for eternity.

I will see you again sweetie! Hug Mom and Dad for me

Love u!

Hey Sweetie,

I went to the memorial at the school the other day. It was really hard. All I thought about was you and Tim. I couldn't stop crying. I just want you to be here so bad that I think about it every minute of every day that goes by. I miss you so much. I saw your Aunt Mary Ellen at the memorial and I saw Caroline. She didn't remember me but I remember how you used to play with her all the time. I know you loved her very much. I miss you a lot and wish you were here. I love you always and I'll be thinking about you during graduation. I love you sweetie!!

Monica, David and Jennie,



Life does go on but the heart never forgets. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Kim through Jennifer. I felt like I knew her before I even met her because of how much Jennie talked about her. She was such a beautiful person..inside and out. She had this certain thing about her that drew people to her. What I remember most was her smile. That smile could lift anyones spirits. She was a very special person. Now she is a very special angel. I couldn't think of anyone else that deserves to be an angel except for Kim.

My heart goes out to ya'll.

I wanted to write in the guest book today to let you know that people are still thinking and remembering Kim. Who could forgot her!

May 15, 2005

Jennifer,



I am worried about you! I've noticed that since Kim went away, you have went away also. Kimberly is watching over you and when it gets to the worst, she will come to your rescue. She loved you very much and talked about you all the time. Kim and you had a bond that was unexplainable. Something siblings rarely have. Hold on to that and it will bring you comfort. Did you know that she would always say " I have to call Jenn and tell her about it this", I have to go see Jenn cause I didn't see her last week", I have to call Jenn for advice", " I wonder what Jenn is doing", Guess what Jenn told me the other day"' I LOVE going to spend time with my sister". Baby girl, she loved you very very much! Try and remember that.

I have noticed you changed since the wreck and I am very worried about you. I will never forget the way you looked at the hospital that night. I cry everytime I think of it. I wish I could tell you something to make it ok but like you said, no one can. All I can tell you is she loved you so much. She looked up to you. You were her big sis that took care of anything she wanted you too.



Your in my heart and prayers,

We love you Jennifer

Jenn

My sweet Kim,



I need you now more than ever. I miss you so much that its actually making me crazy. Every day is getting harder to go on. I wish you were here so bad. Every night I pray to God that he will go back in time and make the wreck not of even happened. I MISS YOU SO MUCH MY BABY! I am so lost without you. There are so many things I want to talk to you about and need to talk to you about. I have never trusted anyone except for you. Without you I feel so alone with no one to turn to. I wish I was there with you. I want to be there with you.

This month has been so hard for me because of graduation. Your graduation! Thats what you should be looking forward to. I couldn't wait for the day I saw you graduate. I have always been so proud of you and graduation was something you worked toward for so long and you got so close to making it. Life is unfair and so hurtful. I am struggling and need you my sweet. I love you so much. My heart is not the same. I lost my heart the day you left. I'm not the same person anymore. Life dealt me a blow I can't get over. I want you back.



Love you!

Hey Sweetie,

I was thinking about you and decided to write. Graduation is next Friday. I don't want to go through with it because I want you be there when they announce our class. Me and Ali went to the mall the other day and since we're wearing blue robes we decided to wear pink dresses for you. I know that you would have worn pink if you were here. God, I miss you so much. I know it's so selfish but I want you here!!! Ok, well I'll let you go. I love you and miss you lots!!

It's so hard to believe that the whole senior year has gone by. I know you are still excited about it and that you will be there for all of us at our graduations. I miss you alot and I know you are with Lexie and y'all are laughing at all my mess ups this year. I love you and miss you.

Ali

May 12, 2005

Kim!! Senior year, high school,... it's all over! You were with me every step of the way. You are with me everyday. I can actually feel your presence sometimes. I start to feel unusually happy... that's when i know you're there with me. I'm scared to face college without you there telling me to stop watching t.v and study! I'm sure you'll be screaming at me every once and a while. I just hope i hear you! I love you and miss you more everyday!

You're an Angel.

You opened my eyes.

You motivate.

You smile.

You brighten heaven.

You shine.

You make everyone who knows you proud to be apart of you.

You're commendable beyond words

Your're a friend, sister, daughter, neice, cousin and person who will live on forever.

Hey honey,

I miss you... I don't know how many times i have told you that... I know you already know how much you mean to me and that I love and miss you. I just have to say it. Time is flying by. I am probably signing the lease on my apartment tomorrow... I wish you could be there with me... Living with me like we had planned. With the extra space for Chelsea to sleep. We would have driven each other crazy with our little qwirks! But it would have been worth it! I'd give anything to see or hear you again! I love you always!

Deb Gibson

May 1, 2005

Hey Sweetie,

Your mom and I talk about you so much.I can close my eyes and see that smile of yours, your sparkling eyes and feel like it was just yesterday that I saw you.Sometimes its like you are right here with me.I will be outside and the wind will blow and the sun will be just right and something makes me stop.Then all of a sudden you are there. I see you when you were little sometimes and sometimes I see you smiling at me telling me how "but aunt debbie I have only made 5 bucks in tips so far today".So I just laugh and leave you a big old fat tip and you just grin.You have never really left because you are so much still in our hearts.I know you and Mom and Dad are all in a better place.I truly believe angels are among us and I know you are here.I pray everyday that justice is served. You should still be here.You should be living your dreams.I know God has a plan for us all but for the life of me I can not accept his plan for you.Why can't the good people stay here with us and the bad people leave this earth?Yes you are my family and always will be but I have never met another person in all my life that had such a pure heart.You were special and you touched so many people.

All my love for now and always!We will all see each other again.I love you Kimmie

Kim,



It feels like any minute now my phone is going to ring and I'm going to hear your voice on the other end. Any minute now your going to bounce around the corner with a huge smile on your face :) Any minute now your going to walk into my house and give me a huge bear hug. I always feel like that. Like I'm just one minute away from seeing or talking to you.

Sometimes when I see a girl that resembles you in a certain way I just stop..my breath catches in my throat..my heart starts beating real fast...and for a moment..just one moment..I want to call out your name to see if its you. God how I wish it was really you.

I feel your presence around me all the time. I really like that :) All I have to do is look next to me and I see you. It seems like every where I look and every place I go, everything I do, every breeze, every sunny day and starlite night, every raindrop and rainbow, when I'm smiling and when I'm sad..I feel your presence all around me. I miss you so much though! I want more than that..I want you alive and here with us..I want the physical you. Thats the way it will always be because you will never leave my heart or my thoughts.



In one moment everything in your life changes and you know it will never be the same.

It was 8 months ago at this time of night, I jumped out the truck ran up to the hospital asking Mom where you were. I could see her crying but I didn't want to believe you were gone. Not you Kim! Not our precious Kim. Mom looked at me and could only shake her head. I couldn't believe that something like this could happen to you...to us. My heart sank and I felt the most unbelieveable sorrow. I turned and ran away from the hospital. I couldn't hardly breathe. I felt like there was no way I could take another breath on this earth without you Kim. I guess I figured if I ran away..it would all go away and I would wake up. But that didn't happen. Its real and we're all awake and life will never be the same.



Chris and I want you to know that your smile and laughter brightened our world more than anything. We love you so much sweetie. We never stop missing you!



Missing you lots.

Hugs and Kisses!

Sending you all our Love and then some :)

Hey,

The other night I had a dream about you. I was sitting at a table talking to Tabitha Rogers mom and someone had come in the room but I didn't look up. Well, finally I looked up and it was you. I hung the phone up and ran over to you and you pulled me into the other room and I gave you the biggest hug ever and cried. I woke up crying and couldn't go back to sleep. All I could think about was your hair. It looked kinda "poofy" but straight at the same time. I loved that dream because that is the first dream I have had about you since you've been gone. Now I know that you are ok up there and that you are with me where ever I go. I love you so much. God, I miss you so much. I wish I just could see you one more time and tell you I love you and we will always be friends. I love and miss you so much. You are always in my heart. I love you.

Kim

Lately all I seem to think about is you and my sister and all the times we shared. I passed by Blue Bayou the other day and all I could think about was us screaming our heads off on the Ragin Cajun and you laughing so hard when I almost peed on myself. So many people have such good memories to remember with you and I think that is what is keeping some of us going, I know its helping me. I miss you so much and I wish you were here so I could just talk to you even if it was for a minute to tell you how much you've made me a better person. Well g2g, I luv ya...

cindy dunaway

March 29, 2005

hey kim,

i saw you last night in my dreams.it was so weird,we were laughing about us both having the "git er done" keychains.then right before i woke up, you said "cindy i love you,gotta go,bye"i can remember that part so good.well i just thought i would say hey and i love you too,hope you had a wonderful easter...love you always

KIM



I love you so much and miss you terribly! I know you want me to go on with life and live it to the fullest. I know you wouldn't like for me to be so sad all the time. You want me to be happy. I know your watching over me trying your hardest to give me some peace and soothe my soul. I do know that sweetie. I know. I would be the same way towards you if I was the one whom passed away. I wouldn't you to stop your life. BUT its so hard. Losing you and trying to move on with life is the hardest thing I have ever done. Its just so hard!!!

It's hard to move on without you. I feel as if that would mean leaving you behind and I don't want to do that. I never imagined my future without you. The future I had planned was a future you, my sister..my best friend, would be a part of. Now its all a blank canvas and everytime I think of it I get even sadder. I know, with all my heart, that my life now will never compare to a life with you in it. I used to look to the future and be so unbelievably happy!

I just keep repeating to myself..Friday's here, but Sundays comin'! Keep Heaven Rockin for Easter :-)

"Oh..and holler at Tim and tell him I said Happy Easter"



Hugs and Kisses

I Love You

Hey,

I was just thinking about you and decided to write. We're on spring break next week. It was senior skip day today. We did a senior prank. It was funny. You would have had fun. I had a dream about you the other day. It was kind of weird. Well, I guess I'll let you go. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and miss you so much. I LOVE YOU!!!

Hoppy Easter!!!!

You getting to be at the most magnificent celebration you could of ever imagined right now. I'm sure you have Heaven Rockin.

It's hard to imagine an Easter without you. The closer it gets to Sunday the more easter memories overwhelm me. Remember last year when we actually got LaBoilers receipe for crawfish!! Everyone agreed it was the best crawfish we ever had..you couldn't stop eating the claws because the meat came out so easy. LOL. You were like "I can't stop..its addictive..everyone give me their claws and you'll have more tails..I can't stop." Haha

And another year at moms when I spilled a whole cup of coffee down my shirt! You and mom picked on me because I kept the coffee shirt on instead of taking it off b/c I didn't want to mess up my hair. That was the year mom was recovering from back surgery and couldn't eat much crawfish. :) We looked at each other like "Oh yeah, more crawfish for us..momma go inside and lay down..we'll save ya some." Ahhh..the memories

Even this year with your spring break partying, Chris and I had made plans with you to try and meet up with ya no matter where you went.

I'm understanding Easter more and thinking of it this year a little different. The true meaning of Easter gives me some hope and the starting of a little faith. The phrase "FRIDAY'S HERE, BUT SUNDAYS COMIN" says it all.

Spring is everywhere! The flowers are in bloom and the air smells so sweet. Mom said the pink roses I put by your grave are doing really good :-) I'm sure you have something to do with that because I don't think I have much of a green thumb. I remember when you teased me about my Ivy always looking so pitiful. :)You told me that an ivy was the hardest plant to destroy so I was definately doing something wrong! :) I cherish all my memories of you. The memories are what gets me through each day.

I know you bursting with happiness now, more than ever before and you will be everyday..forever. Your happiness means everything.

I miss you so very much!

I love you sweetie

Hey my Kimberly Anne,

God, do I miss you!! I've been getting things ready for LSU and my apartment and all I can think is..."Kim's supposed to be doing this with me. She's supposed to room with me." I laugh to myself when I think of the two of us living together! Man, We loved each other sooooo much, but boy did we argue! Everything is coming together now Kim! The only thing missing is you! Oh! You'd love my boyfriend! We all would have had a blast together! I think about you all the time sweety! I'm going to the tanning bed (getting ready for spring break) and everytime I drive up, I can see your car sitting there with you smiling at me telling me to hurry up. I miss all of the little things and how things used to be. I've learned that life takes unexpected turns. I just wish your life wouldn't have. I'm going to be 18 soon! You will be going out with me in my heart that night. I love you!!!

March 8, 2005

Kim,



I laid in bed and cried to God. Cried to God and asked him to wake me up so this terrible nightmare would be over and I would have you back. Asked him to wake us all up so life can go on like it was supposed to. Asked for our beautiful ray of sunshine back. Eventually I cried myself to sleep knowing this was impossible...

I then had an experience that didn't feel like a dream but was. It was real to me. It was August 4th again. I had just talked to Ali and she said you might have been in an accident. Then there was a knock on the door. IT WAS YOU. My precious Kim with of course that smile on your face. You decided to drive that day and wanted to stop by and chill. I told you what Ali had just told me and how relieved I was you were ok and nothing bad had happened to you. I told you there was no possible way I could live without you and ended up having our bear hugs and kisses war..u won that time :-)

I had no idea I was in a dream. A dream that I so vividly remember and seemed to last forever. It felt real to me, as real as me writing you right now.

We continued with life as normal. Everything we missed out on in the past 7 months, we did in the dream. Your graduation pictures turned out gorgeous of course, you were having a blast your senior year, your Homecoming wish was fulfilled, you still didn't study much but still made great grades, you continued working at Arceneauxs which maintained your Abercrombie habit, Chris and I watched you cheering at most of the games...which you looked mighty cute if I do say so myself, the lSU games weren't lacking in spirit either and we still cheered our Tigers on, we had a blast in New Orleans again for my bd but didn't go to Six Flags this time, you rode around town blasting your new speakers you picked out for your bd, you finally got into The Varsity--which you tripped on the stairs going in by the way..clumsy as ever, you did everything you had planned to do once you turned 18, we made up more crazy dances to all the new songs, partied at Mardi Gras, we chilled at my apartment having tons more crazy and sometimes relaxing weekends there..with the peeps still coming over mysteriously but that's ok..except for when Dustin spilled his coke all over the floor and you broke my new china cabinet because you and Ali were wrestling, you got lost in forest hill when we went 4-wheeler riding-Trent and Donnie even came with us, movies with large popcorns and pickles with cheese, laughter, giggles, confessions, I laid on the bed once more and watched you make a disaster in my closet, we finalized our plans for LSU, prom was starting to become your focus, celebrations, traditions, GRADUATION, we were happy..oh so very happy....

Life..we went on with our life as if nothing had ever happened and you were still here.

I mostly remember your voice from the dream. I got to hear you, hear your laugh, hear your excited chatter about school..life...the weekend...I heard your secrets, your new likes and dislikes. I was able to have a real conversation with my sister again. I was able to feel your hugs and kisses. I got to hear you say "Jenn" one more time and tell you I loved you and hear you say it back.

Then I woke up. I desperately wanted to back to sleep. Back to you.

Somehow I was given the chance to have spend time with you again. To live the past 7 months that we missed out on. My prayers for more time with you were granted that night...I was given the only thing I wish for, want, cry for, miss with every beat of my heart.

Then that moment of happiness was gone. The devastation, the sadness, the heartbreak all came back. It was a reminder of just how happy I was to have you in my life and a blessing as a sister. A reminder that I no longer have my heart and soul. How wonderful this world was, with you in it. I no longer have my Kim, my happiness. My love for you was/is greater than everyone and everything put together. My heart is gone now and its an everyday struggle.

I'm left with a terrible sadness. Life is not really life without you. I want to be with you again, as soon as I can. I hope that day is sooner, rather than later.



Love you sweetie,

Missing you like Always!

Hugs and Kisses

I guess u know what's been going on with me lately...It's so weird to know that this has happened to me...I know you're watching over me and will make sure everything goes for the best...in some crazy way I think this had alot to do with you and Lexie. I miss you always and I pray for you're family everyday. I can't believe its been this long without you and Lexie...the pain is supposed to ease with time but it just keep getting worse and worse. Tell Lexie I love and miss her and give her a kiss for me. I love you and miss you.....

Hey Sweetie,

I haven't been doing to good lately. I think the longer its been, the more depressed I get. I think about you every minute of everyday and I can't stop. I want to cry everytime I think about the night I found out. I still can't imagine you not here. You are one of my best friends and I love you so much. I went to Jennifer's a couple of weeks ago and all I did was look at your pictures and it made me so upset. I write in your journal almost every night. I'll put it out by your grave after graduation. OK well I'll let you go. I love you Lots. Sarah W. said hey and she loves you.

Hey Kim and family,

I know I am a little late for this but I still think about Kim everyday because her photo on my wall wont let me forget her. Kim was the type of person that u could be around and never have a bad day. She always had a great attitude toward everything and that is why everyone loved her so much. I want to give my love to Kim and her family and wish everyone luck for the future. Kim we love u and u will never be missed for the world.

Hey Sweetie,

I was just thinking about you and decided to write. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I think of all the times at Justin Walkers, the river, and all the parties. We were always little "buddies" at parties. I can never forget when we had that waterfight at Justin's. That was so much. And that day when we went to Bogachita. It was so cold but we had a lot of fun. Well, all I wanted to do was say hey and tell you some memories. I love you lots and tell Tim and Austin I said hey. I love you.

Kimmerly,

This time of the year is very different without you here. I was putting my new birthday cards in my special box and I found the card you gave me for my 16th birthday. You picked on me for being younger than you and told me no matter what we would always have each other. You wrote all our little jokes on the front and as I was reading it, I thought about how much I really miss you and how much I wish you were here. I know you were up there celebrating Mardi Gras b/c u always talked about Spanishtown and how fun it was....Happy "late" V-Day. I luv u always....

Hey Kimmerly! I wanted to say hey and that I love you! Valentine's Day was okay... I went to LSU today for a meeting for the coming freshmen and i kept thinking about you and how you would have been sitting right next to me if you were here. I hope you and Tim and Austin are having a good time up there! (you better be!) I MISS YOU SO MUCH!! I'm glad that you never had to withstand a pain like this... You were too fragile for it, yet so strong. I can't believe it's been over 6 months without you already! There are still time that I turn to you for help and even though you can't tell me your opinion... I feel as if you affect my choices. (that's a good thing sweetie - I always valued your opinion)I love you and miss you and Happy V-day!

Kim Possible,



Missing you doesn't get any easier. Thoughts of you flood my head every moment of my life!

To me...You just left my house 3 days ago. You told me goodbye and gave me a big hug and kiss and told me you loved me and would see me next weekend. You went to leave, then ran back and bear hugged me. You gave me another kiss and more love yas. I giggled and said " Love ya lots sweetie..I'll be here next weekend with bells on". You waved goodbye to me with a huge smile on your face." In reality 6 months have passed but that was only yesterday to me. It still feels like I will see you this weekend. I know your no longer here but to completely accept that fact is unthinkable. I want you/need you back so bad....



I know you and Tim are cutting a rug up there in Heaven :-) Mardi gras king and queen together once again. Mrs. Wanda and Mr. Ronnie had pictures of you and Tim at Tims wake and funeral. It was hard to look at the pictures and realize that the two beautiful, carefree spirits that are together in those photos...are now together in Heaven.



Mardi Gras was so very hard without you. All our plans for this year..our memories from years past.. our traditions we thought were going to go on forever..It was unbearable without you. Strange fate ended us up by Marige and them at the Spainshtown parade again. Neither of us parked in the same spots nor did we stand in the same spots, but we ended up right by them. I was immediately brought back to last years parade. The first time we meet Margie and them. You picked the spot right next to them cause they looked like very kool old ladies. You and Ali just tickled them to pieces. They were all decked out in their Mardi Gras gear. You kept asking to use their umbrellas and pranced around with them. Everyone was taking ya'lls pictures :-) I noticed you still have the card in your room that Margie gave you. They wanted you and Ali to model their Mardi Gras stuff for this year. This year....

Everyone got done with their hellos and then Margie asked when you would be there. Before I could even say anything she said " Kim is one of the sweetest, most beautiful girls I have ever meet. She had a spark that girl. Wheres she at. I know how much she loves Mardi Gras so I know shes around here somewhere. I'm surprised shes not hanging on your shoulders right now." Lord Kim...having to tell them was horrible.

Margie said we should try our best to have a great time because thats what you would want us to do. Thats what you were doing even though we couldn't see you!!! Theres not a chance you would miss Mardi Gras :) But I did see you!! I kept thinking of you with your hair piled on top of your head..those clothes mom gave you a smirk about..a wild look on your face..jumping up and down..yelling at the top of your lungs for PINK beads. Then turning to me to show me all the pretty ones you got :-) Mardi Gras will never be the same without you. My life will not be the same without you.

I hope you felt all the extra extra love I was sending your way on Vday. My heart is yours as you know!!



(Fighting for you with every piece of my being)



Missing you with all my heart..

I love you Kim Possible!!

February 9, 2005

At one of your top favorite times of the year...those close to you find more memories shared with you that were stored away in the backs of their heads, just by thinking of you and how much you love this holiday.



I love you kim. I hope you know that. I know you're at peace in heaven, and I know you hear me when I talk to you, and I cant hear you respond but i know that you do, and I know that everything is okay, that i shouldnt think some of the things that i think. I found a certain peace within you Kim. Peace at mind... to know that you know my feelings, to know that everything was wrong, contrary to what some might believe.



I know you worry about your family. But dont fret on that kim. They are dealing, as best as they can, and as best as they know how. They need you, and want you more than they ever thought they could want anything in their whole entire lives. I hope they understand that they cant hear you, but you are listening and you are there with them every step of the way. If Only you could show them that. Your sister has a good few people who by her side that love her and support her, helping her and coping and dealing with her. In an aspect Jennifer is taking care of the part of you who is down here with us.



I love you kim. I know you understand me. Your novel will never close and you will never be forgotten.

You're Beautiful.
