My deepest condolences to the Kayln family. I know I am very late but I just found out about this tragic news. I remember Kim as a generous kind woman as she always drove her daughters and our volleyball team at Davis to most of our away games around the city. You will be missed, give Courtney a big hug from me. My heart hurts for you Whitney. Rest peacefully Kim.

Condolences to Kim's family and friends, I have known Kim for over 50 years and can say that Kim will always be cherished and thought of lovingly, a bright welcoming smile, kind hearted and just a pleasure to be around. We hung around together for many years until we went our own ways, that part of our journey was always filled with fun, respect, admiration and a little partying along the way, those memories
will never fade, Kim is person you are proud to have known, a really good person, a really good friend.
Rest in peace my friend.

Kim was a effervescent spirit that lived life to the fullest. Always a smile, lots of laughter and a great pleasure to work with. I worked a few extra overtime shifts because Kim was working and the shift was guaranteed to be fun. My condolences to Whitney and her family and Kim's friends who are suffering such heartbreak. May the memories of her laughter and her tenacious spirit help you rebuild your life without Kim in it.
