Kim was one of the sweetest, most kind people I've ever known. She welcomed me into her family like she had known me for years. Every time I saw her she always complimented me. I could have just got up for the day and looked like a tornado hit me, and she would still tell me how nice I looked. I never met anyone so kind hearted!! I was honored to call her my sister in law. She will be forever missed but never forgotten.
