We send our thoughts and prayers to you on the loss of the most important person in your lives. She was a wonderful lady, a good neighbor for many years on Hughes Rd. and friend. Kim loved to go to your house and help dress the dolls. Something she always remembered. May the love and memories help you through the days ahead.
