Pearson family~ I knew Kim ever since she and her family moved into Hoffman Estates. She was our nextdoor neighbors for awhile then they moved. Then, they moved 2 houses down. I've gotten to know her, because Neal is like at our house everyday. She was the nicest person I've ever knew and she will always be the nicest person in my heart. Her smile light up the whole room. I will truly miss Kim and I am so very sorry that she is no longer a part of the Pearson family. Now all we can do is remember all of the memories shared with her and her grateful presence. Kim will always look down on us and care for her family and friends. Kim, I will always miss you and I hope that you will always remember me and I will always hold a piece of your heart.

Kim, we will miss you very much. Shannon will miss having Chinese with you and both she and Connor will miss camping with you. Mark will miss your smile and your cheery welcome. I will miss seeing you, talking and laughing with you, your light-hearted, carefree attitude and going out with you. There was so much we hadn't done yet. I keep remembering the fun we had and I keep smiling and laughing. You were the brightest candle Kim, and you lived life to the fullest. Heaven is brighter these days because you are there and the angels are lucky to have you. Go easy on them Kim, they may not be ready for your energy. We love you Kim and thank you for being a part of our lives and for making our part of the world a happier place while you were here!

I used to work at Northwest Community Hospital with Kim. We started as Patient Access Specialists together. I no longer work at the hospital but Kim was always there when someone needed someone to talk to. She was a very caring and outgoing person. She knew how to make peopls smile. She was a hard worker and a big family person. I remember hearing stories about her children all the time. I'm going to miss hearing about all the great hang out places to go on the weekends. I'm only 21 and Kim knew more places to go then I did!! :) Kim was a great person and will be missed by many. My heart goes out to all of her friends and family.

To the Pearson Family: Our deepest sympathies to each of you. To lose someone so young and so loved is very hard. Keep the many memories in your heart and remember the love all of you shared together. There will be many hard days ahead but remember you are not going through this alone. Take one day at time, one day to get through and then the next.



My son played HEAA Football with Neil a few years back so I remember Kim from Sunday mornings on the football field, always willing to help!



May God bless each of you and may he guide you through this hard time. Keep your faith - it will be your strength!
