RIP my friend. You will be dearly missed by many. God called you to soon. You’re an Angel in heaven now and reunited with so many that we have lost in the past years. I know in my heart that you are no longer in pain. Until I see you again, love you and miss you.
I’m so very sorry about your loss. I would love to make it but unfortunately I can’t with my work and the kids last week of school. Prayers and sending lots of love your way for all of your family. My momma and her best friend now knows the “ secret “. They are dancing and singing up there watching all of us. I can’t wait to see them both soon. Love yall! Sending condolences 💐
I am very sorry for your loss.
I’m soo sorry Deanna for the loss of your sweet mother! She was such a big help with Carson and they loved each other so much! I’m sure she stayed as long as she could but now she can enjoy all the love, healing and peace with God and loved ones up there! She’ll be a guardian angel for all of you! Keep talking to her cuz she can always hear you and is closer than we think! Sending lots of hugs and love!💗
We are so sorry for your loss. Kim was a tough gal with all that she survived. Keep her memory alive in yourselves & her grandkids.
I am so sorry for your loss, Kim and I used to be very close. We were very close. This breaks my heart. Praying for peace in your hearts.
Love

To one of my old friend, I remember the day I met you with Warren, instantly gave you and him your nickname Smurf and Smurfet and you were ok with it, I just knew we’d be friends, Rip Kim say hi to my Buddy Warren up there
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all
Kim,
I did not know you very long but connected with you and Deanna from the first time I was fitting you. You said to me you are just like my daughter!!! I will miss seeing you and your sassy comments 😢 but know you are no longer suffering. My thoughts and prayers for you all during this tough time.
Love,
Katie (Siteman)
Kim was like a second mom to me. I didn’t have much in high-school and they accepted me with open arms. Leslie and I were the best of friends. I will never forget Kim. She was so beautiful inside and out. She really loved spending time at the slots just for fun. She had a way of making me laugh even in the saddest times. If I would have known she was doing poorly, I would have reached out. But I will see her again someday. Fly high miss k.
