Kim was one of the first persons that Gary introduced me to when I started dating him. She was so vibrant and happy and then I found out that she went to school with my daughter, Martie. She was always friendly to me and was a great help to my daughter when Gary passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you Terry and Pam as we know this is not an easy time. Remember God will walk with us through our troubles. He is the only one that we can truly turn to.

Terri and Pamela I am sorry for your loss.
Kimberly will be greatly missed, nothing can ever replace her. She was loved and adored by everyone she knew. She made everyone smile all the time. She just hated to see other people sad. Kimberly was a unique special person that warmed everyone heart. We all will miss you so very much. I was blessed to have had the all the fun times and laughter with kim that I had while we went to Waverly schools together. (Terri my mother Lynne worked with you at the US postal service).
Your family is in my prayers. God Bless

Kimmy and I have been friends for 16 years. I met Kimmy in Lowell Mi working together night shift in a nursing home. We were friends on the spot. I would visit her in Lansing and she would stay with me in Grand Rapids. On my first motorcycle I had to go to Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin MI and Kimmy rode all the way up there with me...laughing all the way. Then a mud bog and later that summer when we had to use the restroom and refused to walk to the outhouse so we went in the weeds not realizing we were mooning everyone. We had a riot together. When I took the job at the Sheriff Department working nights Kimmy and I could always rely on each other to keep each other a wake for the drive home. I know Kimmy is watching over me know...and she will always be in my heart and greatly missed. "Few of us write great novels; all of us live them" Mignon McLaughlin
Kimmy's novel will continue in our hearts and minds, and when the moment stricks just smile as Kimmy would have.
Thank you and miss you dearly your lost friend,

When i think of menories of Kimmy the one that stands out the strongest to me is when we had some kind of get together up north and Grandma, and Grandpa ( Ralph and Betty) house and i can remember her wearing this bright red lipstick and chasing me around there basement just so she could leave a big set of lip prints on my cheek. You will be greatly misses and loved Kimmy Jo.

There are so many memories. Kimmy was always so happy and bubbly. Sincere doesn't even begin to explain her. She could always brighten my day just by looking at me with her dancing eyes and smile. The sleepovers were some memories from high school that will always be with me. May you live on forever in those that hold you dear. God bless.

I remember when Kim and I first met, that bright red lipstick she always loved and that smile that never quit. I remember many sleepovers that sometimes lasted the entire weekend. Dancing in the kitchen with Aunt Shelly and Mom and Mr. Bentley. WOW the fun times I can remember with Kimmy. Driving the Lincoln Town Car making sure we could hear every word to the music she would introduce me to. I also remember the deep and interesting conversations that we would have with Mom and Frank...the words of advise they gave Kim and I are priceless. I never doubted my friendship with Kim, I never had to because she was genuine from the first day I met her. I remember after school we lost touch and then found eachother again. I would show up and surprise her at her little upstairs apartment in Lansing and it was like we never lost touch...the talking never stopped. She showed me all her leppard printed decorations that she loved so much. Kimmy you are already missed so much and I want you to know how much you are loved...yesterday,tomorrow and always. Thanks for all the beautiful memories!
Love ya girly! ~Danylle~

I was friends with Kim from high school and right now, I just can't believe it.....Just last week, I tried to locate her on Facebook and Classmates so I could reconnect with my Waverly Friends.....
Kim and I used to walk to high school in the morning, rain or shine...cold or hot! We used to live in the same complex and I remember every time I would get to her door, it would be a fashion show....everything from the pegged jeans to the hairspray...she had to get it just right before we left her house...she was just a pleasure to have as a friend. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time......

Me and kimmy use to have alot of fun working together at Dimondale, She actually was my first friend at dimondale, she was very nice to me, We use to always talk about girl stuff, hair, make-up, clothes, shopping. We could talk for days. I remember going to her house and she was so happy to have me, we spent most of the night giggling at silly things like her huge crush on Pauly shore. And she even told me a story about when she met him and how happy and excited she was. I feel so bad loosing touch with her after leaving DNCC, I really appreciate all the good times we shared as friends. I miss you kim..

I first remember Kimmy in high school. She always had a smile on her face and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I remember the way she dressed in high school and I so wanted to dress like her. She told me where she shopped and it was a store called "Contempo". After that, Contempo was my place to shop.
Then Pam, Kimmy's mom, and Brad got together and we could visit more often and have family christmases together. When Kimmy asked how you were doing, she was so genuine. Many would just ask to be polite, but Kimmy really cared how things were going with everyone.
The last time I got to visit with Kimmy was just a few days before Isabel was born. She wanted to feel my belly to see if she would kick. I just wish Isabel could have met her. Yet, I will make sure she always hears about her Aunt Kimmy. We love you and we will always miss you and your beautiful personality.

Kim was a sparkling angel that came into my life. I remember the first time she called me with her bubbly, happy voice. She wanted me to help her with her math, and of course have a sleep over. I don't remember doing the math, but a lot of dancing and singing went on.
Kim was always laughing, being silly and just loved having friends to talk to. We had many sleep overs and fun times. Kimmy was a bright and beautiful woman, and she will be greatly missed! My prayers go out to the entire family.

I first met Kimberly when she came to work as a CNA at Dimondale Nursing Care Center where I was working as an RN. I remember her bright smile, her warm and caring approach to patients and staff. She truly had a gift of sharing her hugs and kindness with others. I was so happy when she came to work at Hospice of Lansing, Stoneleigh Residence and I knew her ability to communicate love and caring to others would be a great comfort to the many people who come to Hospice in need of those qualities. We will all miss her very much and I am blessed to have known such a lovely person. To Kimberly's family and friends: I am so sorry for your loss- she will be greatly missed by the many people whose lives she touched. Sara Nelson

I have only known Kimmy Jo for about 5 or 6 years. She has lived across the hall from me, and was the best neighbor and person that anyone could ask for. I didn't see her often since she worked 3rd shift, but every time I did, she added "sunshine" to my life. Even if I was in a good mood, she made it better. I remember a few years back when we had a tornado warning in our area, and Kimmy came knocking on our door because she was scared of the storm. We welcomed her into our home so that she wouldn't have to be alone while the storm passed. She was so cute, and my husband and I were happy to help her. It was just obvious how much love she had to give, and we will miss her dearly! It is true there aren't many Kimmy Jo's out there, she made life more bearable! Much love goes out to her family during this very sad time. We will never forget her.

I send my love and prayers to kimmys family. As a new nurse at diamondale, me and kimmy became friends. If I was of a day or she was we truly missed each other. I knew the residents were well taken care of with kimmy on. and that giggly smile she was a friend to all.
A few times me, kim and another co worker would go to dons truck stop for breakfast and we would always laugh. I know kim enjoyed her long tshirt night gowns and coffee..
every so often I would loose contact, but we would always find our way. This time I found my bubbly dear friend in a place I never thought I would so soon. I know that someday we will find each other again. I will miss kimmy, my cna buddy my friend....

I can't possibly sum up Kimmy's impact on my life here but I will share a few of my favorite memories we shared.
I first met her at Waverly High School. It wasn't easy being a new student and she welcomed me with open arms as she did for the remainder of her life with anyone she met. We became great friends in high school but even closer in our oh so fun 20's. We had the world at our fingertips. We had a female bond that was never broken, even in the recent years where time has taken us is different directions. I know no matter when I called her she still would talk for hours to me and we could pick up right where we left off. About 2 years ago Kimmy text me 'Happy Birthday' which gave me chills since it had been a few years since we talked and yet she remembered it was my birthday, she was so very thoughtful that way.
She taught me many life lessons. One of which was to tell your "girlies" you love them . The first time she told me she loved me it felt awkward, the 100 times after that it felt like a blessing. I never had a girlfriend tell me such kind and honest words. There were mornings she'd call just to make sure I made it to work on a slippery day and I'd try to be as diligent and call her on her nights at work to make sure she made it in safe but I was never as thoughtful as she was, that just came naturally for her. Some nights she'd call (as she worked nights at Dimondale Nursing Home) just to "chat" and I was ready for bed but somehow we'd manage to solve life's problems in our late night chats. She was the spark that lit my days on more ocassions than I can even begin to count. She could take my tears of sorrow and in an instant turn them into tears of laughter. She was so warm and loving.
Her love for movies I will always remember also. She taught me how to see two movies in one visit to the theater. She stayed in our cabin on a Caribbean cruise to watch a movie even though there was an exotic island waiting outside the ship.
We had many great nights w/ our "girlies" dancing the night away and having overnights at her cozy apartment after a long night of living it up at various nightclubs! We always cheered each other on when it came to boyfriends, none of which were ever worthy of her !!!
I will forever be greatful that I knew Kimmy and she touched my life in a way only she knew. Heaven has another angel, a very special angel and they're so very blessed to have her. I LOVE YOU, KIMMER!!!!

Even though I have only been in the family for 8 years (through marriage to her Uncle Clark), it is with great sadness that I sit here this evening. What a beautiful soul Kimmy was and what a great great loss to her family/loved ones, friends and everyone that knew her. Somehow, I always had the impression she was a lot younger than she was. She always acted so bubbly, enthusiastic, and was so young at heart. I am going to miss her beautiful smile, wonderful personality and truly God giving soul. Every life she touched she made feel special and a privilege to know her. I know she touched mine. I will truly miss her.
Pam, Terry, Brad, to her whole family.....I am so very very sorry for your loss. Please know that I have you all in my thoughts and prayers at this sorrowful time. God chose to take Kimmy home early in her life, but I know she is with our wonderful Savior, content and happy in his arms. I am happy she is at peace, but like the rest of us whose lives she touched so richly, I too am saddened and will miss her greatly. I am so very very sorry.
My love to each of you.... Sharon

When I was a kid, Kimmy used to babysit for me. I remember begging her to bring her curling iron and hot rollers so that she could do my hair, and of course, she couldn't forget her makeup. She did this each time she babysat for me, and never complained about it one bit, I think she rather enjoyed it, not nearly as much as I did though. She was truely a loved and cherished woman who will be missed and remembered by all who knew her.

i will always remember kimmy we were so close, she will always stay with me in my heart, she always made me laugh from her trying to roller skate and ending up breaking her arm, to trying to teach her to bowl. she was a very upbeat person with the biggest heart of anyone i've every met. i cant believe she is gone.

Terry, Pam,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. No one can ever prepare themselves for something like this. I just want you both to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both during this difficult time.
Terry, you may not remember me, but you and Pam and I all worked at the lansing post office together for many years.
Keep your trust and faith in God. He will help you get through this.

Kimmy was one of the happiest people I ever met. I will never forget her hugs and laughter. Her positive attitude toward life has been incentive for me to beat this cancer battle. She was a very special person; God doesn't make people like Kimmy very often. The last time I seen her, she climbed up on my bed with me (which isn't an easy task!) so we could have our picture taken together. When I entered the Blemaster family as a girlfriend nearly ten years ago, she accepted me immediately and I was honored to call her my sister-in-law once Chris and I married. You will be forever loved and missed, Kimmy, by all, and that is the biggested understatement I can say.
Love,
Lisa, Chris, Rhett, Randall and Jakob Blemaster

And I know she loved me......Jeff jr

I was sad to hear that Kim had passed. My thoughts go out to the family. She spoke of you often and with such kind words, especially her father. May her memories and the love she gave to you, be the comfort that you all lean on during this time. She will be missed.--Giovana Reed

What a beautiful soul Kimmy was and what a great great loss to her family/loved ones, friends and everyone that knew her. Somehow, I always had the impression she was a lot younger than she was. She always acted so bubbly, enthusiastic, and was so young at heart. I am going to miss her beautiful smile, wonderful personality and truly God giving soul. Every life she touched she made feel special and a privilege to know her. I know she touched mine. I will truly miss her.
Pam, Terry, Brad, to her whole family.....I am so very very sorry for your loss. Please know that I have you all in my thoughts and prayers at this sorrowful time. God chose to take Kimmy home early in her life, but I know she is with our wonderful Savior, content and happy in his arms. I am happy she is at peace, but like the rest of us whose lives she touched so richly, I too am saddened and will miss her greatly. I am so very very sorry.
My love to each of you.... Sharon

I remember Kim from school. She was someone that you could talk to and she always had a big smile. I will truly miss her, and to her family I am very sorry for your loss. Please keep your faith and remember the great times you had with her. I know that I will always remember.

What a blessing it was for me to get to know Kim while she worked at Hospice of Lansing. What I will remember formost about Kim, was her beautiful, full smile and her truely caring nature. She is so grately missed and will never be forgotten.

When I was a kid, Kimmy used to babysit for me. I remember begging her to bring her curling iron and hot rollers so that she could do my hair, and of course, she couldn't forget her makeup. She did this each time she babysat for me, and never complained about it one bit, I think she rather enjoyed it, not nearly as much as I did though. She was truely a loved and cherished woman who will be missed and remembered by all who knew her.

i will always remember kimmy we were so close, she will always stay with me in my heart, she always made me laugh from her trying to roller skate and ending up breaking her arm, to trying to teach her to bowl. she was a very upbeat person with the biggest heart of anyone i've every met. i cant believe she is gone.

Terry, Pam,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. No one can ever prepare themselves for something like this. I just want you both to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both during this difficult time.
Terry, you may not remember me, but you and Pam and I all worked at the lansing post office together for many years.
Keep your trust and faith in God. He will help you get through this.

Kimmy was one of the happiest people I ever met. I will never forget her hugs and laughter. Her positive attitude toward life has been incentive for me to beat this cancer battle. She was a very special person; God doesn't make people like Kimmy very often. The last time I seen her, she climbed up on my bed with me (which isn't an easy task!) so we could have our picture taken together. When I entered the Blemaster family as a girlfriend nearly ten years ago, she accepted me immediately and I was honored to call her my sister-in-law once Chris and I married. You will be forever loved and missed, Kimmy, by all, and that is the biggested understatement I can say.
Love,
Lisa, Chris, Rhett, Randall and Jakob Blemaster

I was sad to hear that Kim had passed. My thoughts go out to the family. She spoke of you often and with such kind words, especially her father. May her memories and the love she gave to you, be the comfort that you all lean on during this time. She will be missed.--Giovana Reed
