Kim, My Prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Kim your mom was always so nice. I never heard her ever say a bad word about anyone. She loved her family with a passion. I loved her laugh, it was almost like music to hear her laugh. God surely gave y’all the best mom and dad ever. Her light may have gone out here on earth, but is shining brightly in heaven. May God give you comfort
