My beautiful sister, often times mother to me and grandmother to my children. My heart aches with the thought of you not being here, I will miss you with all my heart. You have been so strong during this difficult time always handling each new obstacle with grace and dignity. You have taught me many things. Just remember, “You and I have big plans.”……..
From Garfield all the way through high school, Kim was the big smile in a crowd, the kind spirit, the caring touch — she will never be forgotten. Sending prayers of strength and comfort to all that knew and loved her.

My heart goes out to Kim’s entire family. I still have a ton of memories from times at your house and even way back in Brainerd when you had your home near the railroad tracks that ran right down the middle of the street! I still know every one of your names, and most of the middle names, and even in order! I am so sorry that Kim had to go so soon, but you could not have picked a more beautiful, elegant angel. When it all gets down to the basics, family really is the best! Thank you all for being a part of mine! Joyce
My thoughts are with you Craig and all the Jennings and Koerner families. It has been great to get to know Kim better in the last year even though it was for not fun reason’s. She was very proud of all of you and would talk about how great everyone was. My prayers are with you. Kim, you can finally rest at peace.
We will miss you so much Kimmi. You were like a Grandma to us. We had so much fun camping with you:)
