On September 29, our community suffered an unimaginable loss when Kim passed away suddenly and tragically. She was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, teacher, and friend whose love and light touched everyone she met. Most of all, she was the proud and fierce mama bear to her two beautiful children, who were the center of her world.

As we grieve this heartbreaking loss, we are rallying together to support her children as they face life without their beloved mom. The funds raised will go directly toward their care, education, and future needs, ensuring they are surrounded by the same love, stability, and opportunities that Kim worked so hard to provide. Kim, Riley, and Lily are my close friends and neighbors. I want to do what I can to help support Riley and Lily during this difficult time. Riley has been added as the beneficiary to this Go Fund Me to be sure he has immediate access to funds to support he and Lily as they begin to more forward.

No contribution is too small, and every gesture of support—whether through a donation, a kind word, or simply sharing this page—means the world. Thank you for helping us honor Kim’s memory by standing beside her children during this difficult time.
