I am so sorry to hear of Kimberly's passing. I knew her brother Craig, Brad, and Mark. I would really like to contact her brother Craig and pay him back what I owe him. He's one heck of a guy. God bless all of you.

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone in Kimberly's family. My Mom was good friends with Kim's Mom,Edith and her brothers Brad,Mark and Craig were all friends on mine when we were kids. I haven't seen Brad since 1987. I'm very sorry to hear of both Kimberly's and Edith's deaths. My thoughts and prayers are with the family
