HAPPY BIRTHDAY, baby girl! I cant believe you would be 50! It sees like yesterday that you were a little girl! We had a lot of good years together, and this is what keeps me going! Yesterday I went on Legacy and re-read all the tributes left by friends and family. My heart was touched by all the beautiful words spoken about you. Kimberly, you were loved by so many people; yet you always thought you were alone in this world. I wish I could go back in time and try to give you more self-confidence in who you were. You were such a special young woman, and possessed so many God-given gifts. Yet, you never projected this in your daily life. This morning in church we sang songs that made me think about Heaven, and what your new life must be like. I close my eyes and can almost envision you and Adam as you stroll hand in hand down the streets of Heaven layered with gold! I can only imagine what it must be like! When I think of these things, the pain of loosing you seems to vanish. You always longed for peace, and now you have this, plus so much more! I will never stop missing your smiling face, but I can look forward to the day all of us will be reunited. Until then........................know that you are loved and not forgotten. Always, Mother

Baby girl, I know it is still two days until your birthday, but recently you have been on my heart so much, and I feel I am supposed to reach out to you. I know you are happy now being with my precious grandson, Adam, your second born. By the way, you would be so proud of your first born, Eric. He was recently baptized, and is very involved in his church. I think he finally realized he needed to change his life so he can be re-united with you and Adam when his time comes. He misses both of you so much! He doesn't talk about it too much; he said it makes him too sad. Kimberly, we moved back to Panama City last February, and I don't understand why, but you seem to be closer to me here. Maybe it is because we shared so many wonderful memories here when the grandchildren were little. I miss those days! Sweetheart, I will never stop missing you. So many things remind me of our time together. Especially Thanksgiving and Christmas! You loved these times so much. You were a child again!! Debbie sent me a poem a few minutes ago about our loved ones in Heaven. It was beautiful, but my eyes filled with tears at the thought of you. I know I am not supposed to grieve, because you are in the presence of Jesus, and you are happier than you ever could have been here on earth. I just long to put my arms around you and tell you how much I love you. Please give all our loved ones my love, and one day I will be there with all of you. I believe you will be the first one to greet me; then my precious mother! Of course I will see Jesus before I get there. He will bring me home. Until then, always remember, even though we are apart, your spirit lives forever in my heart. Love forever, Mother

My precious baby girl, today is your 11th Heavenly Birthday, and yet it seems as though you were just here! Your memory is as fresh as a flower just picked from a garden. When I awoke this morning, the first thing I did was look at your photo alongside my bed; something I do every day! You look so happy, and so full of life. It is one of the photos Kelley took of you on your trip to Miami. Remember? The two of you were so close; almost like twins would be. I talked to both her and your older sister, Debbie, this morning, and we all agree that it doesn't seem like it's been eleven years since you left us. It seems like yesterday! Kimberly, you were such a wonderful daughter; always eager to help anybody regardless of what it might be. Your sweet smile was like a magnet; drawing others to you. You had so many friends and co-workers that looked up to you because of the person you were; caring, kind, and always ready to help! I remember the little girl that lived in your apartment complex. She made you a drawing and told us how sweet you were and how kind you were to all of the kids in the neighborhood. We told her that was our Kimberly! Sweetheart, you left your mark in this world; but you never knew it. I could go on for hours, but instead I will end with saying, "you are missed by all of us, and we anticipate the day when we are reunited! Until then, I will continue to watch for a butterfly, knowing you are sending us a message from Heaven, and that you are happier than any of us could ever imagine. You are forever in our hearts. I love you, baby girl. Mother

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN!

My precious baby girl, it is so hard for me not to be able to talk to you like we use to.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of you! You had a special way of always being there when we needed you. No matter what the occasion, you could always be counted on! One of your specialties was your "sweet potato souffle"! And now we make sure that "Kimberly's Souffle" is always one of our main dishes! Your baby sister, Kelley, is usually the recipient, and it is clear you taught her well, cause it tastes just like yours! Sweetheart, I know you are in Heaven, and are looking down on all of us saying, "Don't grieve for me! I have never been happier." And, I know Adam is standing right alongside of you, as well as all of our loved ones"! This brings me a sense of peace! So, until we meet again (and I know we will), please continue watching over us, and when I see a yellow butterfly, I will know it is your Spirit! I will always love you, my heavenly angel!  Mother

Happy Heavenly Birthday Sis ❤️

There is still not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. So much has changed in my life and in the life of our family, since the day you left us. Although you are not here in the flesh, I know you are always here with me in spirit; some days I feel you so strongly I could almost reach out and touch you.
I would love for you to have known my granddaughters Kelsey and Kylie as well as their beautiful mom Vanessa, all of whom were brought into our family by your “Mr. Man” Tyler James.

There are so many other changes that have taken place, but I also believe that you see all.

I pray you are celebrating this day in heaven with all of our loved ones and you all could not be happier.

I love you sis heart ❤️ Until I see you again 
Your Baby Sis,
Kelley

Happy Birthday my beautiful sis

My beautiful sis. Five years ago today I experienced the worse day of my life. It has been difficult living without you, but I know you are still with me in spirit. I have so many wonderful memories of time we shared and grateful I will always have them to hold onto. You are and will forever be in my heart sis

Dear Kim, Life without you has been very diffifcult. When we lost you we lost a big piece of our hearts and souls. We have many beautiful memories to hold on to and you will forever be in the hearts of all those who knew and loved you. Sis you will be forever loved and never forgotten. I love you forever❤

Happy Birthday Sis!

I love and miss you❤
