Kim was my friend. I met her when we were both employed at Quik-Pak, about 10 years ago.
She was such a beautiful person, both inside and out, and I will always remember her for that.
Her laugh was contagious and her smile was radiant.
I know that her wonderful spirit will continue to live on in her two daughters, whom she loved so much.
Steve, you were the love of her life.
Kim will be looking down from heaven, watching over all of you, until you are together again.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Godspeed,
Dana Crider

I met Kim at Dream Dinners while I was working there and she had ordered some food to help sustain her family thru her treatments. She was such a strong girl and certainly proved that she would do all she could to beat it. However, God had other plans but remember the wonderful times and memories you had with her on this earth and know you will be reunited with her in heaven. Until then may God hold you in the palm of his hand and give you all strength and peace,
Fondly, Kathy Hyman

Steve,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your two young daughters. Kim was an inspiration to us all in her battle. I will always remember her smile and her willingness to help others. She was such a pleasant person to be around.

Even though she had such a short time to be with us, she had such a positive influence in the time she did have.

Peace be with you all,

David Cramer

The Low Country Purdue Alumni Association sends it condolences to the entire family. Such a tragid early departure, but God has reasons for everything, so it must be part of His plan. We will all miss her.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Steve, Kayla and Vivian, and also to Linda, Harold and Shawn. We pray that God will strengthen and comfort you through this extremely difficult time. We are so sadden by the loss of such a beautiful person. She was a great niece, a person who could brighten up a room by her presence and was always great to be around. Cancer may have robber her of this life but I know that God has given her wings to fly. I look forward to see my niece in heaven.

So very sorry for your loss. I only knew Kim for a year prior to her passing, but her spirit and positive attitude left a lasting impression on me and every student that worked with Vivi. Kim was an amazing mother and was so gracious thinking about everyone else first. I am sorry that I will not be able to be at the memorial service, but my thoughts will be with you during your time of loss.
I know Kim knew that she is at a good place and that He will take care of her. I pray that her soul rests in peace. May God also give you the strength to grieve her.

So very sorry to hear about Kim&s passing.

I really enjoyed meeting her when she participated in Casting For Recovery. I was her "river helper". When she caught a fish, her infectious giggle got the attention of the whole group and got everyone laughing.

She was a very sweet person.

I just wanted to send my deepest sympathies for you loss. My sons attend St. James and my youngest was in Vivi&s class last year. Kim was an inspiration to us all. I have gotten to know Vivi over the last year and her little smile lights up my day everytime I talk to her. Kim will live on forever through these beautiful children. God Bless. Julie Fields

My first sticker collection buddy. I have little memories of my childhood but I clearly remember having sticker collections with you, shopping and chasing after boys. I admire your heart and strength. Love you, Tracy

I grow up with Kim and went to school with her from Kindergarden to graduation. We had a lot of fun times growing up, we spent a lot of time together growing up in the same neighborhood, playing outside or inside with our Barbie Dolls. We both got old Mustangs for our first cars! I am truly sorry for your loss and I will never forget her.
With great sorrow,

I am so sorry to hear of Kim&s passing, but am relieved that her long struggle with cancer is over, and she is now at peace. I had the good fortune to meet Kim when she brought Vivian to Purdue for our speech study, and have been filled with admiration and respect for her ever since. Your family is in my thoughts, and if I can help in any way please do not hesitate to let me know.
With sorrow,
Barbara Brown

Although I did not know Kim as well as did some of her other colleagues at Purdue University, her sweet personality and bright outlook were evident whenever we talked. She always had such a bright smile and was so full of joy when speaking of her daughters. Her courage and energy were greatly admired. May your precious memories of Kim bring peace to you at this time.

Kim had one of the most beautiful souls I have ever come across.
Nothing ever got her down. Her faith was her rock.
She is missed as a co-worker and as a person.
My prayers are with her entire family as they go through the grieving process.

Harold and Family ,
Our prayers are with you in your time of loss.
May God Bless You All.

I have known Kim since she started working for PAA. She was dedicated to what ever she did. This trate was certinaly true with her dedication, over the last few years, to try to fight her cancer. I will always remeber her smile and her love for her family. The past years have been hard for you and your family but I know you have many good memories of your short time you had with Kim.

God Bless you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I knew Kim when we were both students at Ivy Tech; she was such a bright and promising young woman. I am so sad to hear of her passing even though she is now at peace, I know she suffered this dread disease for quite some time.

Remembering the good times our CYO had and Kim being a part of that special group. May your memories give you strength. Peace Be with You.

Harold and Linda
So sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter Kim, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Steve, Court and I are saddened to hear of your loss. Kim was such a treat to be around, always had a positive attitude and she would never let anyone, including me bring her down.

Kim had such a way at looking at life that she has taught me a very valuable lesson, her confidence and pride in everything she did is how everyone should live their life.

She loved you and her girls so much, and that was evident everyday.

I hope you find some comfort in those thoughts. She will forever be an angel watching over you all.

Cathy and Courtney Cobb

I will miss Kim. She had the best attitude of anyone I know. I had great fun going to Camp Bluebird with her. I am so sorry for your loss.
