    There are no words now or ever to express what the loss of Kim means to me. I want to be there for you Kathy, Brandon, Josh, Samantha and Kimberlynn but I am not sure how strong I can be for you. Kim was my rock. We have been there for each other through more than most Friends experience in 50 years. We have taken crazy, spur of the moment road trips, laughed, cried and comforted each other through more than we can even share. Her smile lit up my world and she said my laughter made her happy and also crazy. We always made our time together special regardless of what we were doing. We both always found a way to get each other through the worst days ever. I don't even want to imagine a rough day or time in my life without her. We talked and texted everyday and we would watch TV together but in our individual homes and text back and forth commented on certain things that would happen. When our season finales started, we would not start watching until the other one was ready to turn on their DVR. We shared the craziest things together but that bond will carry me though. I am hurting more than I ever have right now and I need my BFF but I asked God many times to end her pain and help her so she could enjoy the finest things in life so I can not argue now that he has given her just that. I love you all.

    Kathy Jo, I am so sorry to hear about Kim's passing. I ran into her at Walmart a while back and we had a nice chat. I have been flooded with memories about the good times we all used to have as kids. She was my first best friend and I will remember her forever. You all are in my thoughts.

    Kathy and family, Kim and I worked together at Kroger J-91 in Bloomington for several years, and struck up a great friendship.I would be hard pressed to find anyone who had a more kind heart or gentler soul than Kim.We shared many smiles and a few tears (she helped me pick out just the right dog for me at the human society in 2000) she and I shared a love of fishing, and finding the "big yellow sponge" morels and shared stories about our finds.Though my heart is heavy, I feel very honored, and privileged to have known her, and I, as im sure all whom have known her, will miss her very deeply. She was a soul who's passion for life itself, was an inspiration, and made a difference.though we weren't ready to say goodbye, it would be selfish to ask her to stay, because I know she's in a better place now.and maybe i'm a better person,'cause I know Kim...luv ya buddy
