In 2010, she and Rob were blessed again, and added spunky Olivia Kaye to their family on June 25th. Her family was her pride and joy. She spent every day nurturing, caring for, and loving her beautiful children.
Kim's quiet confidence and amazing strength drew people to her. She had the ability to make people feel loved and accepted. The gift of being a part of her life is an honor her family and friends will cherish always.
