Courtney & Family:
Wishing you my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences. You have been in my constant thoughts this week. I was at a loss of words when I learned the news, but words seem trite in times of loss.
I was told of Kim’s spirit and zest for life, and know that she was a great woman. I know how closely knit your family is and my heart is with you as you come together to begin to heal.

To the Family of Kimberly McKenna:
I was saddened to read of the loss of your loved one.
When we lose our loved one in death it is the most difficult
time in our life. However, there is loving
comfort in Psalms 55:22 “throw your burden on God
and he will sustain you..” Yes, no matter what you are facing
God is there to help you get through it. May you continue to
have the love and support from family and friends. I sincerely
hope that this Bible message brings you
a measure of comfort during this difficult time.

I am very sorry to read of the untimely passing of your daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Losing a loved one is never easy. James 4:8 invites you to “Draw close to God and he will draw close to you.” I sincerely invite you to do so now and in the difficult days ahead. Once more I am sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Kimberly’s family and loved ones. I had the pleasure of knowing Kim through Verizon. She definitely was a sweet and spunky girl. We lost contact with each other through the years, but she was thought of and came up in conversation with other Verizon co workers. We also had the pleasure of hanging with Kimmy outside of work. Our little Kimmy will be missed. Rest in peace.
