My sweet favorite cousin Kim, you gave me a lifetime of memories tucked in my heart forever. Collecting Fireflies in a jar on a hot summer evening at Grandmom and Granddads, fishing off the old bridge together, running down to the swimming hole and watching the crazy cousins jump off the cliff in awe, running from uncle Guys and Aunt Ruth’s house to the grocery store for a cool pop, stopping by to say hello to Aunt Liz next door and on down the street to say hello to Aunt Margie, strolling downtown to the Dairy Mart on the corner for an ice cream cone and wondering which older cousin we could convince to drop you, Robin and I off at the carnival and later pick us up. Usually that someone was Connie or Butch! Wow, those days shaped our dreams and who we are, never ever to be forgotten. You can breathe now Kim, God carried you home to be with Him and someday we will all be with Him and join you forever. Thank you, for being my cousin, my friend and the one I could still call and no matter how long it had been, it seemed like only yesterday! I love you and will see you soon. Your forever cousin, Max Lana
