So sorry to learn of the passing of Kim. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. We are longtime friends of Diane and Dick from Aruba for over 25 yrs. We spoke with Kim and Diane several times during her stay with Diane. They were just 3 doors down from us.

It’s so hard to believe Kim and I met a little over 10 years ago when our sons became best friends.
The very first thing I remembered was that AMAZING AND INFECTIOUS SMILE!! Something she shared with both of her children – it was one of the first things I remembered about Connor when he came to my house.
I got the pleasure of being included into a great group of friends and shared a lot of laughter with Kim, her family and ‘the girls’ – not near as much as I would have wished.
Kim – you were loved by so many. You brought a warmth and light into any situation and I will truly miss you from the bottom of my heart. Rest easy my beautiful friend!

To Kim’s family, I am heartbroken to hear this news. As little children, Kim and I were next door neighbors and early playmates. Ultimately, my family moved across the country and contact was lost. I have always cherished those early memories, but now even more so. Going forward, I wish you so much peace, comfort, and strength. I know Kim’s light will shine on through you all. Much love… Nancy
