This can't be real, not my Kimmie, That's what I called her to aggrivate her. She was a very outspoken but a kind and fun person to be with. I really miss Kim. When our friend call me and told me to look this up, I am grateful for the Legacy.Com
I will say that I will always love my Kimmie, She's my favorite girl, I will always love my Kimmie, She brought Joy to me when I was feeling Low. She would always say girl you have to let things go in order to get to the next place. I would always respond, Practice what you preach.
To her family, I know that this is a difficult time for you.
Always trust in the Lord our saviour to bring healing to your heavy hearts. There is a land will the sun is always shinning.
Love Always
Velm Addison.

Packing up the dreams God planted, In the fertile soil of you, Can't believe the hopes he's granted, means this chaper in your life is through, But we'll keep you close as always, It won't even seemed you've gone, Cause our hearts in big and small ways, will keep the LOVE that keeps us strong. A Love so strong for ever, If the Lord's the Lord of them, No a friend will not say never for the welcome will not end, though it's hard to let you go in the father's hand you know, that a life times not too long, to live as kin. I still can't believe that you are gone.
Safe in the arms of Jesus.

To my baby sister,I wish you could see all the nice things people are saying about you(laugh).I felt moved and had to write this after seeing just some of the people you touched in your short time here in our lives. I know god called you home for a reason,and he does not make mistakes,but I wish we could have shared one last moment of fun and laughter like we always did. I would like to also say thank you to all the prayers and support given to our family during this time of grief. In closing I would like to say to everyone to keep your faith in god,and we will see her again. May you rest in peace until that day. LOVE YA. From your big brother- Van R.Terry Sr.

I have signed this book for Kim once already but something made me return to send this poem to her baby boy Maurice:
" MOMMY SAID"
Mommy said "YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO" And that I should put all my trust in "YOU" and then Mommy said: "When she's out of answers she talks to YOU". So that is what I'm gonna do !
You may not understand now baby but, oneday you will. Always put your faith in the LORD because HE WILL WORK IT OUT.

I loved Kim, she was so sweet, and nice, and always laughing. She reminded me of myself, FUNNY!, even laughing when she talked. She was so much older than me, we never hung out or anything, but she would see me, and say "HA NIKKI" and just start talking about this and that, like she had saw me yesterday and always ask about Shan my sister, she couldn't believe I had a baby, she kept saying "how can a baby have a baby" I said Kim, I am 20, she said "OH GOD, WELL HOW OLD AM I" and that was 3 years ago, she was such a nice sweet person, I will miss her, auntie henry mae, I love you, and marilyn and van, love yall too, if you need anything just ask me, Maurice your mother was AWESOME, and she is somewhere just as magnificent as she was right now! believe that he is in control always, and never makes mistakes, after 3 days he rose with ALL power in hand, he is so wonderful and marvelous, we don't understand things right now, but everything happens according to his perfect perfect will, no matter what you going through, remember that! love yall, nikki

Suddenly:
In Memory of My Cousin Kim:
No one knows the day nor the hour. Suddenly you were gone before we knew it. When I received the call it didn't dawn on me that you were really gone untill a few moments later. I can't imagine how Maurice, Henry Mae, Marilyn, Justin, and Janice feels. I know the severity of pain that I feel can't even compare. I do know that we must keep our house in order because suddenly the final chapter in our life has ended. My heart goes out to Maurice her son, I know God will be that mother for him. So I'll just take with me the memories, to bring my sunshine after this rain. It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
Till my raptured soul shall find, REST beyond the river.
Love Always

Only Jesus Knows this pain I bare, tears I shed. To wake up in the Morning, No Kim, To go to sleep at night, No Kim, To go in her room, No KIm. There is consolation in knowing that When I look at Maurice Jr, There is Kim. I will make it through this storm with God's help.
Sleep on Kim, take your rest, I will always love you but God Loves you best.
Your Mother,

Gone But not forgotten:
My Sister Kim.
She called me the nick name Sister.
No one could have ever told me that the end of her Life's journey was that late tuesday night. To follow behind the rescue paramedics, yet still believing God for a miracle. Precious Memories that I cherrish. Shopping together, being together will truley be missed. I have promise myself to be the best friend and aunt that I can be to my nephew Maurice. I know that We all is going to miss her. I'm glad to know that she accepted the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. A Wonderful Change did come over her.
" Step by step, We'll make this journey, even though, Our way seems hard, Step by step, We'll make this journey, but we must, Put our trust in God"
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Love Always
Sister; Marilyn Terry Byrd.

My prayers are with the family and all her many friends. She will really be missed. I remember Kim in the halls of Lee Hi School and just around the way. I was in the senior class and she was in the freshman class. I had said I did not like any of those Freshman because they was always so loud in the halls and just like it was when we was freshman, so silly acting, but you could not dislike Kim, because she was so crazy and just fun to be around. We was in one of the beauty supply stores and the lady in the store called her So Pete, and she asked the lady why you keep calling me that, so the lady just started laughing and Kim went off. So every time I would she her after that visit-I would holler So Pete, we never knew why or what it mean, but we would just laugh about that day. This passed Sunday at the Pop Warner Cheer Competition was the last time I seen Kim and like always I hollered So Pete and we just laughed. Miss you Girl!!!!
