Kimberly was a very sweet girl and will be missed by all that knew her. She always had a smile on her face even though her health limited her to numerous things. The people at Park Manor always was very protective of her and always wanted what was best for her, including taking her outside so she could enjoy the pleasures of the outside world. She will be greatly missed and we all know that she is safe in Gods loving arms.

I have known Kimberly for almost 17 years. She was a people person, spreading sunshine wherever she went. She was one of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. The last 9 years have been difficult, but there was always joy to be found. She love to play little games like trying to scare me or making fun of songs on the radio. She would turn red as a beet laughing so hard. We would watch movies, her favorite the Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy says there no place like home, it would bring a tear to Kim's eye. She always wanted to go home. Now she is in the ultimate Home. I went to a Christmas party at Park Manor and Kim was at a table with strangers, when she saw me her face lit up with a awesome smile. Later a women came up to us crying saying we had made her Christmas because of the smile on Kim's face. I could go on for days with Kim stories but even in her final hours she gave me the most beautiful and amazing smile that would have melted anyone's heart. I asked her was she ready to see Jesus, she shook her head yes. Kim I will miss you dearly, but I will keep you in my heart. I thank God for the times I got to spend with you here on earth.

Kim was my favorite niece. Kim, John (her brother) and I spent a lot of time together as we grew up because we were so close in age. She always had fun whatever she was doing. I think she could make a dog laugh. When it came time for photos, she was always telling me to show some leg. Kim would pinch my cheeks until I laughed so hard I cried. These last few years have been hard for all of us but Kim has crossed the rainbow bridge and we will see her some day.
