She loved life and her family. I remember you learning to ride a bike. I remember you dancing in the wind with your hair flying and your dress floating around you. I remember you playing with Lynn and later with Brent and Cindy. There was so much love.
Distance has separated us, but I have loved following your journey through the stories your Mom has told me over the years and more recently, through Facebook. I admired your courage as you battled cancer. Your positive attitude and your willingness to fight and preserver. You never gave up. No matter what life sent you, you never gave up. You were a beautiful woman who had a heart full of love for your family and friends.
You will be greatly missed. less

I am posting this on behalf of my Mom Judy Specht she was having some technical difficulties. My darling daughter, a mother shouldn't have to say goodbye to her child.
I still can't believe she has passed. I guess God needed her for A very important job... moreI am posting this on behalf of my Mom Judy Specht she was having some technical difficulties. My darling daughter, a mother shouldn't have to say goodbye to her child.
I still can't believe she has passed. I guess God needed her for A very important job with him, it was time for her. to come home.
I will miss her every day for the rest of my life, I just pray that her kids and Parrish can thank the Lord for the gift we have had with her in our lives. I will always love and miss her. Every mother knows what a wonderful gift a child is and I will thank God for the great gift she was my first born.
LOVE you Kimberly, and always will.

To your friends you were Kim. To me, you were always Kimberly, my big sister. I can't explain how much I miss you, how sad I am that you had to leave this life too soon. I'm so sad and sorry for Parrish, Kirsten, Matt and Josh. I know you wanted to stay, to be here for them. I just hope and pray you are in a better place where you are free from all the pain of this world. You fought that stupid cancer so hard and I am so proud of you for your grit and determination. I'm grateful for the good times we had growing up together. There were lots, through all the moves and craziness we always had each other. As a young adult I loved being able to hang out with you and your kids. I'm grateful for all the phone calls and talks when I was learning how to adult and you were in the thick of it already. I'm grateful to know the wonderful, passionate human you were and are still. You will live on in our hearts and memories. I'm grateful to call you my sister. less

This past year was so difficult for you and all of those around you, but you handled it like a boss. I hate that you’re gone, but know you’re having a much better day in heaven and smiling down on your family.
For more than 20 years, you’ve managed to bring a smile to my face with your blunt views about everyday life. Never shy. Always fun. Even in hard times, and there were a few throughout the years, you managed to turn everything into something better. You always found the positive. When Lynn and I became friends, your family became my Arizona family, and I’m grateful for you and each of them. My world has been made better for knowing you. To all of your family and friends: Love, hugs and prayers. Hold onto every good memory and know that Kimberly is well. less
My dearest sister the courage you have shown is an inspiration. I am so happy that we were able to grow closer in the last few years. I will miss our conversations. I Love you with all of my heart and will miss you forever. RIP
