I never got a chance to know Kimbaya personally but from what I learned about her she was a sweet and had a unique personality. Just the type we need on this earth. I hope God is really enjoying her because I know you all did her friends, her family, and all the people she just bless with her presence. May God give Kimbaya friends and family strength and healing. RIH Ms. Kimbaya Hampton.
