My condolences to Kim's family, my classmate. I pray 🙏🏽 you are comforted from Jehovah, the God of ALL comfort during your loss. 2Corinthians : 3,4

Gwendolyn Wilson

To the Children, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. There are truly no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so special. Your mother was a beautiful soul — full of love, strength, and kindness — and it was clear to everyone who knew her how much she loved each of you. She was proud of you, spoke about you all with joy, and poured her heart into being the amazing mother you all needed. Her love will never leave you — it will continue to live on in your hearts, in your memories, and in the way you carry her spirit forward through your own lives. Please know you are not alone. You are surrounded by people who care deeply about you all and are here to walk with you all through this difficult time. Take all the time you need to grieve, to remember, to cry, and also to smile when you think of the beautiful moments you shared with her. She will always be with you in every sunset, in every quiet moment, and in every bit of love you give and receive. With all my love and deepest sympathy, Topia
