Guest Book

My condolences and most heartfelt sympathy to the Brown-Thomas Family. Kim will never be forgotten. She was just one of those kind of people who left a profound effect on you at the first encounter. She was highly intelligent and very progressive yet remained humble through it all. As she achieved and accomplished goals she celebrated your achievements with you too. We could talk for hours, especially in person, but time never waited. Most of all, the love for her children was a feeling you knew she felt down in her bones and to the core of her soul. Being a part of this community, I feel a sense of responsibility, that her children continue in their endeavors into adulthood and beyond. She pave the way for them to embrace every opportunity. In the years to come, as each of them achieve,...she will smiled down on them and I'll have peace knowing she fulfilled her purpose.
