Jeff, David, Patrick and family,

It has been many years since we have seen all of you. Joe was in C Springs a few years ago and was so glad to visit with you. We were just heart sick to hear from Joe's Mom about Kim... I wish there were words that we could share that might help you through this.

Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, Barb, Joe and Alexa Potts

My deepest thoughts go out to Jeff, David and Patrick. I spent many years and good times with Jeff and Kim later the boy's as we met and became good friends in college. She will be missed dearly.

Unfortunately I had recently lost contact with the King family, but Mrs. King as well as the rest of the family are some nicest, and generous people I know. I will always remember Mrs. King, David, my mother and myself driving to away games in Denver. Or staying the night at the King's home. I will remember her wonderful sense of humor, and the wonderful mother she was to David and Pat. My thoughts are with her, Jeff, David, and Patrick.

Jeff, David and Patrick we want you to know our thoughts are with you through this most difficult time. We will always remember our hockey days together cheering from the stands with Kim. She always brought a smile to the event no matter the outcome. Our hearts are sad and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Scott, Sherrie and Nick Vogt

I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed connecting with Kim again 2 years ago--talking about our sons' hockey playing. She will probably chuckle at us "old ladies" from the gym as we will again do the 'Race for the Cure' to honor her memory. Ellen, Carol O. & I surely enjoyed our last glass of wine with her at home a short time ago. She will be missed but not forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Kim and I went to school together in Ligonier and my husband and I are friends of her fathers. I remember Kim as a wonderfully sweet person and she will be missed and remembered by all who knew her.
