I went to school with Kimberly from elementary to high school , after leaving high school we lost touch , grew up , started our own families. Some years later she worked with my mom for a short time. Small world .. Kimberly had some tough things she went through in her younger years , she went through a lot but through it all she was a great person. She made her mess her message so others wouldn´t walk the same paths she did.. She´s now with her sister whom she missed terribly .. We will see you again Kimberly. Prayers to her family
