Kim was a beautiful person; tirelessly devoted to her family and friends. Filled with compassion, humor, wit and charm. As strong-willed as they come.   Don’t cry because she’s gone, smile because you knew her.

I have such fond memories of Kim. She was a dear friend and full of life and fun. It was because of her working at your family Tastee Freeze that I met my husband Dave Kelly who worked at Haddads gas station next door. Dave and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.
