When I think of Kimmie I will always remember her as a "Trendsetter". She had so much style, intelligence, and confidence that she was truly one to be admired!

We had so much fun and many unforgettable memories as SHS cheerleaders. The memories at Scott High were priceless and I feel so blessed to have shared many great times with Kim. I will always remember Kimmie's smile and her amazing spirit.

My sincere condolences and prayers go to the Allen Family and all those who love Kim so much. May God comfort you and keep you today and always. My family and I will continue to pray for peace in your hearts.

Love and many blessings from God always,

Such wonderful memories as I smile through tears. Kim’s smile and laugh could light up a room. I was privledged to visit the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil with Kim – even on a rainy, “winter” day her faith and love for God was evident. May the sorrow of family and friends be lessened knowing Kim is free from pain and safe in God’s arms.

My parents reminded me that Aunt Kim was the first person (after themselves and my brothers) to see me when I was born, so I really did know her “all my life.” My first sleepover was with Aunt Kim. The biggest bubble bath I’ve ever had was with Aunt Kim. I remember how much I liked drinking coconut juice with a straw from a coconut with Aunt Kim on the Copacabana Beach in Brazil. Aunt Kim, please watch over us from heaven.

To our cousins, on behalf of the Whittington families of Michigan, we extend our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear daughter, sister, wife, niece, aunt and our cousin, Kimberly. I personally have fond memories of us hanging out together at some of our Whittington-Dowell-McKesson family reunions, what laughs we had.

May you all find comfort in God, the blessing in this is knowing that Kimberly was a saved woman of God, therefore, she is in the presence of God. We will continue to lift you all in prayer. May God continue to bless and keep us all.

Love,

To the Whittington family, I was a coworker with Kim, when she worked for DuPont in Waynesboro Va. She was very instrumental as a member of our Black Employee Net Work. She was the first to volunteer when we created our mentor & tutor program for youth. She will be missed. My thoughts & prayers go out to your family. May God bless

To the Reid and Allen family:

I send my condolences thoughts and prayers. I know how special Kimmie was because as a fellow Bulldog and former BGSU Upward Bound alum, I had the privilege of watching her march to the beat of a different drum and bring us all along. From her style in dress (she definitely turned heads when she wore wide legged pants to school 10 years before they were even popular and again when she wore a tuxedo to her prom!) and to her infectious personality, Kimmie always held and kept our attention.
I know words are only a temporary comfort for us at this time. But the greater comfort is in knowing that Kimmie is finally at peace! We feel we needed her here with us, but God needed her more!
"For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands" 2 Corinthians 5:1

Peace and Blessings to you!

Words cannot express our tenderest heart felt sympathy we feel during your time of beaverment. May you be comforted in knowing that Kimberly is only sleeping and will awake in a land of rest and fellowshipp of the Saints gone on before. We know you love her but God loves her best.
Prayerfully Submitted,
Mrs. Patricia Allen-Murff and Family

To Ms.Gwen, Troy, Keith and Family
I was so very saddened to hear of the loss of your Angel. That is what Kimmie was, and now it's official. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". That is where she is now, looking down on us all as our Guardian Angel. No more pain, no more suffering. She was a very special person. I will miss her loving spirit and her infectious smile. As I sit here with a heavy heart I will try to find comfort in my memories of us sitting on the porch on Glenwood, or the fun we had at Scott and in BGSU Upward Bound Program. She was like a little sis to me. Thank You Jesus for Blessing me with her friendship. Please know that you all are in my prayers. Remember spirit never dies, she will live on in our hearts and minds, forever. I can only offer a little advice....Trust in the love of the Father. Open your heart to the love that surrounds you. And know that you are not alone, so many others are with you.
God only picks the best flowers from His garden & He chose Kim.

Be Encouraged and Be Blessed

I will miss you Kimmie!!!
