Kim, How can anyone sum in a few sentences just how special you are, and how much you mean to everyone who was fortunate enough to have known you? You were always in a class of your own; so intelligent, full of energy, radiating love and beauty, with a smile so dynamic it would literally light up a room. To say that you will be missed is an understatement. The world is a little darker and colder place when a good person leaves; and you are a far better person than most of us. You have left a void in all our lives, and there are no words that will ever express how much you will be missed. Our family was always better as a result of your being in it. Your time was far too short, and you leave a hole in many hearts that will never heal. Your mom, brother, extended family and network of friends will carry a little piece of you throughout their lives. May your journey in the next world be surrounded by those who love you, and with a peace that goes beyond all understanding. We love you, and we are counting on seeing you again sometime down the road. Love always, uncle Ray and Sue

Kim, My heart aches to know that you were suffering and I hope you are at peace now. There are so many of us left behind who love and miss you. We are left with a hole in our hearts and answers that will forever remain unanswered. We became friends at the young age of 14 and our friendship grew and grew. We were the best of friends. I have so many memories of our times together. The song ‘Again’ will forever remain our song and only you and I know why. I can’t help but think of all of the times we spent together. My fondest memory is when we snuck out of your house (sorry) and used a crate to climb back into your window. Little did we know that this crate was home to an ants nest. Since we were so slick and thought we knew it all, we brought the crate into your room so as to not get caught by leaving it outside. Well, that was a mistake! Thousands of ants started to infest your room and the bed we were sleeping in. They were everywhere! On us, on the floor, on the walls. We ran into your mom’s room screaming that we were being attached by ants! I will never forget that day and it still makes me laugh. We did get into trouble but it was well worth it! We were always up to something. I’d say it was after college that we lost touch, but you never left my mind. I would think of you often and hope to run into you. Knowing now that you are gone makes me so sad. I thought our paths were going to cross again. I would have never thought that the time I saw you in downtown Albany would be my last. I wish I had the opportunity to say goodbye. I believe that a connection like ours is not only in the physical world, but the spiritual world as well. So, my dear friend, I remain hopeful that I will see you ‘Again’. May you forever rest in peace. With love, Andrea

Kim,there is a great sadness that surrounds all of us that were touched by your life. All of your friends and family will always have a small piece of the energy you possessed and on the many quiet nights that will come to pass you will be remembered and your energy and spirit will be felt surrounding us.

I read all the memories others have left and find myself all he sadder. You were loved and admired, bright, witty, and thoughful. I am sad not to have spent more time with you still in the short time our paths crossed I saw a truly beautiful person who will forever be part of everyone fortunate enough to have caught a glimpse of you as you crossed their paths.

Kim, I can't believe you are no longer with us. It seems like just yesterday I made your lunch for school with one slice of bologna between two slices of white bread and filled your thermos with water,traumatizing you forever!You never let me forget that and we laughed about it for years after. You had such a flare for decorating and your apartment was so beautifully decorated that I unsucessfully tried to take your beaded sconce right off your wall and hide it under my coat.Thank you for giving it to me. I'll treasure it always and think of you everytime I light a candle in it and see its beautiful glow. I hope you are at peace now.The lives you have touched will never be the same without you.We will miss you so...gone from our sight but not our hearts. love, Aunt Kathy

Where do I begin to find the words that express this unbearable grief in my heart. I have loved you with every ounce of my being from the moment I held you at birth. Through the years, I have watched you grow into a beautiful, intelligent, loving young lady. Your smile would always leave me breathless and I cannot even imagine what my life will be without you. Just to hold you in my arms one more time, to tell you how proud I always was of you and how very much I love you. As you wrote to me "Lord, make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother. She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no. Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby". I will be searching for your rainbow. Goodbye... my sweet child.I love you. Mom

Donna, Jeff and Jeremy, One cannot comprehend the feeling of pain and loss that you are experiencing. I met Kim only a few times but saw what others have mentioned in her eyes and smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” Eskimo Proverb

Kim, I hope you are at peace now! You will be missed by your family and friends! Every time I see a rainbow I will think about you!

TO DONNA AND FAMILY,WE ARE SO SADDENED TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER. IT SEEMED JUST LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN KIM, JEFF, JEREMY, SEAN AND RYAN WERE ALL FRIENDS ON WEIS ROAD. I REMEMBER KIM DOING CART WHEELS AND BACK FLIPS ON THE LAWN AND THE KIDS TRYING TO DO THE SAME. SHE WAS SUCH A BRIGHT GIRL. PATRICK, PATTY, SEAN AND RYAN HOURIGAN

Kim had a way of lighting up the room with her blue eyes, meticulous fashion and intelligent conversation. We were blessed to have had a part in her life. We are so saddened for her family and Gary. I know the sadness that comes with losing someone so close...I recently lost my young brother to "unnatural" causes...my thoughts are with you...we know she is at peace now ...stay together through this hard time...she would want that : )
