To Mike, Mika and family,
So sorry that Kim is gone, she was such a warm and loving person. Kim had a great laugh and was always concerned about others; willing to help if needed and to pray when necessary. I know she greatly missed her Mama, so I pray that they are having a wonderful reunion in Heaven!
