Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Anne & Ray Anne, you probably don’t remember me but I went to school at Capron and lived at the Hardtner swimming pool in the summers. My maiden name is Surface. I was so sorry to read about your daughter. I worked for Eric Kuhn at Foulston til the end of August when I retired. He always uses Barber & Associates for his depositions – I never knew that was your company until now. Again, so sorry about your daughter. Mary Kay

Ray and Ann: Sadness and concern for you and your family was the first thoughts upon hearing of your loss of Kim. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I also hope that with each day that passes you can take a moment to remember a smile, a moment, or a blessing that Kim brought to you during her life. Kevin McMaster and family
My heartfelt sympathies to the family. May you gain comfort in knowing that Kim is now in Gods memory awaiting the wonderful promise Jesus made at John 5:28,29 for us all. May the loving support of family and friends help you through this difficult time.
I’m so sorry about Kims passing. I had lost touch with her as an adult but many of my fondest childhood memories include her. We would spend every day of summer riding our horses all over the county,swimming in the ponds and rivers, raiding peoples orchards. We were always wreaking havoc on someones trailride (we were a little crazy) and seeing which of our horses was fastest. We were wild and daring-we used to play a horseback game we called The Hat Game where we would steal someones hat and split up into teams and keep the hat from the other team. Somehow Kim got knocked off her horse but the top button of her coat hung onto the saddle horn-so she was hanging by her neck from a galloping horse with 5 or 6 of us in hot pursuit to save her. She finally just reached up and pulled Babe to a stop. Of course the game continued! That’s how I’ll always remember Kim. Living life large. Laughing,teasing, ready for whatever our next adventure would bring. I’m sure she’s already moved on to her next great adventure, living with the Lord. He’d better watch himself-she’s a kidder. May the Love of Christ sustain you.
We’re so sorry to hear of Kim’s passing and that we are out of town and will be unable to attend her service. Please know that our thoughts will be with you on Saturday. You’ve done a wonderful job caring for Kim these past years.
Felt so hpoeless looking for answers to my questions…until now.
Anne and family, Keeping you in my prayers for peace,healing,and happy memories! My sincere sympathy!
Please accept my condolences and my wish for peace and comfort for Kim’s family, loved ones and friends.
