I am so sorry for your loss. Todd and family you are in my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I attended High School with Kim and kept up with the entire family via her FaceBook posts, which highlighted her commitment to her family. I will miss those posts and her obvious joy and pride expressed in smiles that I know were often difficult due to her health issues.

I will never forget you and the conversations we use to have. How much you helped me heal when I was going through the roughest time of my life. My condolences to Todd, the girls, and their precious grandbabies. Kim, you were one the most bravest, and courageous warriors I ever met. R.I.P. my friend, no longer do you suffer

I am at a loss for words right now. Kim was a very special person, my youngest neice. She was such a loving person, ready to help anyone. I am praying for Todd, her daughters & her grandbabies, also her sweet Mom Toni, her 2 sisters, Karen & Kathy . We called them the 3 K's. They will have to rely on our stories about their Nanny & what a wonderful person she was. She will be sooo missed.

I met Kimberly through Facebook when she was selling some of her grandson's outgrown clothing. We met several times by that way. She was so nice and friendly every time we met and would sit and talk for a little bit. I could tell by our conversations that she dearly loved her family especially her grandson (he was the only grandbaby she had at the time). I'm so very sorry for this tremendous loss. I too unfortunately know the pain. My sweet momma passed 5 months ago and I’m still grieving her loss. I'm sending prayers for the whole family for peace, strength, and comfort during this time.
