My darling Kim. I miss you so. Now another Thanksgiving and Christmas is here. I hate it so much. I wish I were with you. I love you. Moms
My dearest daughter Kim, I love and miss you every second of every day. This is November. Of all the months November and December and May and June are horrible. The other months are too. I would love to be with you. I want to see you and hold you in my arms. Life is horrible on this earth for me. I love and miss you so very, very much. There are no words to explain the pain and hurt I have each day. I just wish the Lord would take me on. I love you with all my heart. Love always and forever, your ‘Moms’
My dearest darling daughter. More pain. We had to have Andy put to sleep on May 1st, the day before your birthday. He could not walk anymore. It hurts so much. I miss and love him so. He was my darling baby boy…..He was the most wonderful little boy with four legs I have ever known. I hurt so much. I love you and miss you. I hope Andy is with you and running and playing with Pebbles, Candy, and Lucky and all the rest of our beloved pets…..Love you and miss you forever. ‘moms’

I know Kim’s sister Jan and she is such a kind, understanding, caring person that I can imagine that Kim was just as special. My heart goes out to the whole family.
Jan and all your family, we keep you in our prayers and wish for all of you peace in the new year.
Love, Nita and Will Latimer
It’s been a year and I still can’t believe she’s gone. Christmas will never be the same.
A mother’s love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.
Friend and co-worker of Genell
It seems surreal to leave a message like this for you. I deeply miss you. It will never be the same without you. I’ll see you in my dreams, laughing and smiling as always.
Justice is a day away …
I love you,
your ‘little’ sister
GOD GAVE YOU TO ME AND HE TOOK YOU AWAY. I LOVE YOU I GUESS THE FONDEST MEMORY IS THAT YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER AND YOU LOVE ME. I MISS YOU KIMBERLY KAY..’MOMS’
Genell,
What a beautiful lady. My heart is breaking for your loss. How unfair and I will never understand why? You have my love and you are in my heart. What a lovely memorial. Thank you for sharing it with me.
Dearest Genell,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with me, she must have been a joy in your lives the short time she was here. Just hang on to the memories, that’s all any of us who have lost a child have left. My thoughts are with you. Thank you again.
May God give you strength for each new day.
Genell & Family members: Your friends pray for you daily. Cling to the precious memories you have of this beautiful life, and trust God; allowing Him to lead you through this dark valley into his glorious sunshine and perfect peace.
Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with your family.
Genell,
I never met Kimberly but I pray that God grants your family justice for the people who did this and God grants you peace and shows you a direction to follow in Kimberly’s best interest.
Feel free to email me any time you want to talk about her or her case. God loves you and grieves with you.
Sincerely,
Rev. Bruce Cook
Our fondest memories are when
Kim use to come to City Hall
Bldg. prettiest little girl we
ever saw, so sorry, we love you.
Gennel, Kimberly is beautiful. I’m so glad that you sent me the link to this page. Having a memorial for our children helps in keeping their memory alive to so many. That is what inspired me to make Tommy’s website, and it helped me to do that as well. I did it for him.
I Miss Kim as she and I were not only cousins but BEST FRIENDS.She is in my heart daily.I miss her very much.
Things are not the same without her!I know though,That she and I will see each other again!I love you Kim! I am so sorry for your pain,Genell! I will keep you and family in my prayers!

Just like a beautiful long-stemmed rose, Her precious memory grows and grows, touching the hearts of all of those she loved.
And like the fragrance of that same rose, Her love, so sweet, still flows and flows, filling your lives with a warmth that shows She’s there.
So like a forever-blooming rose, the beauty She shared eternally glows, for deep in our hearts, we know She still lives!
God Bless You!
When we became victims our lives were forever changed. We will press forward – we will use our anguish to help other victims.
Genell, Jan, Jim and Byron we feel your pain.
Jan,
I know that times are hard for you and your family during this time. I pray that God will grant you peace through this difficult situation.
Standing on His Promises,
