Mama Kim was a wonderful light to have in my life. She always lit up whatever room she walked in and was always the life of the party. Words cannot describe how special this woman really was and she will be missed terribly by everyone shes ever met. Thank you for all the memories you gave me, i will cherish them forever. I love you, Mama Kim.

It is said the brightest stars burn out the fastest. Her light touched all that it shined on. As we come together to add our lights to brighten this time. A candle only strengthens it's light when shared.

Mama Kim was such a sweet lady. She was so fun and such a light to be around. She thrived in the kitchen and I loved cooking with her and learning her recipes. She was an amazing mother and made everyone she met and cared about feel like family. I love you always!!

Ah! Kim where do I start. We've created so many memories with our families. I know that life as we know it will never be the same because we 'll have so many things to miss. I've been missing us for so long due to COVID and had hope that once it's all over we will all get together again. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. Your memory will always bring a smile because of your loving nature . ❤️❤️❤️. Till we meet again Kimmy

Kim, what a loss to your family and friends. Your life was well lived and you knew how to love, care and protect those you love. Thank you for being light in our lives and may your light continue to shine in our memories. Death won't be able to rob us the memories and a life well lived. May your beautiful soul Rest In Peace and rise in glory. May your family ( Muzi, Changa and Chrisha ) be comforted and find solace in your love and memories you shared with them. Thank you Kim for your love and light.
