Kimberly was a bright child with sparkling blue eyes and a cheerful smile. Constantly reading lips and expressions, she didn’t miss a trick. She had no use for moustaches, and made her reasons known.
Kim was involved in many activities and her mom made sure she attended summer camps, learned sign language and was an eager participant with her itinerant teacher who helped Kim adapt throughout her school years.
Playing checkers and cards with her grandad, was a joy to watch. They also enjoyed painting landscapes together. She was a wonderful mom and dog lover. Her light will continue to shine. Rest in peace with your many loved ones, especially Jeff.
Until we meet again!
I am so sorry., Derrick and Shelby. She will be missed by all who knew her. I love you both.
