Honor Kim's Legacy by Supporting Her Family
Donation protected
Supporting Cliff, Carter, Hank, Daphne & Betty ❤️
We lost an absolutely irreplaceable soul this week.
My cousin Kim went into the hospital suddenly after suffering a heart attack. On Friday, August 1, she passed away surrounded by love. In her final act of kindness, Kim was an organ donor—hoping to give others a better future through the gift of life.
Kim was one of those rare people who lit up the world just by being in it. She was full of life, creativity, laughter, and love. She never did anything halfway—whether it was a birthday party, a circus day with the kids, or painting an entire room pink on a whim. If she had a vision, she brought it to life with passion and heart.
She was an incredible mom to four amazing kids: Carter, Hank, Daphne, and Betty. Her world revolved around them. She captured their childhood with joy, pride, and a camera that was always rolling. She loved big, and it showed in every corner of her life.
Kim was also a gifted dog groomer with a magical touch—every pup left her care looking like a show dog. Her talent was only matched by her kindness and dedication to her clients (both furry and human).
She filled her home and her heart with color, creativity, and deep love. And she touched so many of us with her fierce spirit and warmth.
As her family begins to navigate life without her, we want to rally around them the way Kim always showed up for others. If you feel moved to help, this GoFundMe will go directly to support her husband Cliff and their four children as they face unimaginable loss and the road ahead.
We hope to honor Kim by lifting up the people she loved most—and helping ensure that her dreams for her kids continue to grow and bloom.
Thank you for your support, your love, and for keeping Kim’s light alive in your hearts.
