    My heart is sad right now and yet I am happy Kim’s suffering is over. Kim was the bubbliest woman I’ve ever met. Kim made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Kim loved her husband and children very much. Kim also loved others. She loved me and barely knew me. I loved her too. Thank you for crossing paths with me and letting me learn from you. Kim I will always think of you when I see a monarch butterfly. Always.

  15. I met her at a Henna Gathering a few years ago. I was so nervous to be there, and having a difficult time being away from my little one. I remember she made me feel comfortable and like, magically at ease. She did henna for me…the OM symbol. We stayed friends on fb after that. I have a badass necklace made by her especially for me. My heart breaks for you, her family…but also what a gift to have had her ❤️ sending my love.

  18. My heart is aching. I will always treasure the memories of the times we shared; at the Henna Retreat, at the gem show in Tucson. Always filled with laughter and light. The sparkle in your eyes as we discussed our creative projects, shared our experiences with our artistic processes, and giggled at the weirdness that we both really appreciated about life! I will be forever grateful to you for your generosity of spirit; and that you pulled me back to reality after I, in my wild-eyed enthusiasm, nearly bought every bag of bone rings at that vendor’s table in Tucson. I love you, Kim.

  22. Dear Pat, Kevin, Mary and Colin: Your momma was my friend for over 15 years. I remember the first time I met her at a show in Akron. She was immediately kind and warm, which is why people flocked to her always. She loved you with the fierceness of all the momma tigers — all of you. She was not finished living. I hope you take comfort in the fierceness of her love while she was here with us, and pay that forward to your own children some day. She will be with you in spirit. Tracey

  32. Kim knew how to have fun and wow what a great laugh. She was a Cleveland Girl, but loved by many here in NH as well. What impressed us most was how she loved her kids, her husband and her family. The world is now a little less sweet without her. Patrick, Colin, Mary and Kevin our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.
