Hi KJ, it's me, Judy, whom you worked with at Novo. Hard to believe it's been 3 years since you passed and you will always be in my thoughts forever.
I am so glad to have worked with you and know how sweet you were, a conscientious worker, but especially how devoted and caring you were to your family and friends.
I'll always remember your love of horses, your engagement, and our times working together.
I've missed you much and know you are in perfect peace in God's loving arms.
You're an angel.

I am so sorry sweet girl that you got your angel wings far too soon! I just saw your story & I will keep you in my heart. I thought of you when I saw this poem..
"I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn."

Dianna and family...I am so sorry. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child but I know the pain of losing a brother and a niece. Know that you are in soooo many people's prayers. God will sustain all of us and carry us through. He is such a good and living, loving God! Tears will fall, but HE will sustain us. We are blessed to have Kimberly in our family. She and her daddy are now rejoicing with God and the angels and playing in Heaven. God bless you all!
