Facebook Twitter GoogleI have so many wonderful memories of Kim playing with my sister and me in our childhood. She was my most favorite cousin and, for the most part, was blessed to live in the same state. I had so much fun when she took me to Orlando and Disney World. I always was in awe of her from when she was a cheerleader to attending I.U. I will always have fond memories and will love you forever.

Facebook Twitter GoogleI first met Kim on my very first day at Miami M.S. in Sep’78, and we were good friends all through ourWayne H.S. days. We enjoyed many events and activities during those fun years. Kim was a great and caring friend. Always loved going to the Kathrens’ home and watching Kim and her mother talking and laughing. I wish Bryon comfort in this time. No words can adequately convey my sincere sorrow in the loss of your loving sister. God Bless.
