POEM’S FOR KIM From Dad, Mom, Kendall, Kalvin, and AJ I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday and days before that too, I think of you in silence I often speak your name All I have are memories and your picture in a frame Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.. POEM WRITER / AUTHOR LEO MARKS In Loving Memory: A Farewell to My Beloved Sister With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to my dear sister, Kimberly Cooper. Her sudden departure has left us shattered. She brought immense joy and love into our lives. Her radiant spirit, infectious laughter, and compassionate heart touched us all deeply. We will forever miss her presence, but her memory will inspire us to live with the same zest and kindness she exemplified. Farewell, dear sister. You will be eternally cherished. With love, Kendall "Big Little Brother" Jackson
From the Henderson Family If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane. I’d walk right up to Heaven, And bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only GOD knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, And secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Unknown Author Kim, I thank you for truly being the first person to Like ME for ME. You loved me unconditionally through thick and thin, high and low. I just want to say “Thank you for being a friend that Traveled down a road and back again. Your heart was true, you were my pal and a confidant. Love Always Brandi
Hey big sis, things won’t be the same without you. We won’t have that big smile walking through the door, the humor, and lessons that you’ll give the family. We won’t have out little bickering between the Oldest and Youngest's anymore. I’m going to miss that about you. Wish we were able to hang out more, get some drinks and catch up more often. I’m writing this letter to let you now that you were loved and that you’ll be dearly missed. I will remember you as the big Sister I can always joke with and talk to whenever I called you. There’s not enough words I’m able to express to show my gratitude, appreciation I had for you. To keep it simple, I love you and miss you Kimberly, until we meet again. -Love Skinny One
You Never Said Goodbye, You never said I'm leaving. You never said goodbye. You were gone before We knew it and God knew why. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have left. For over 30 years, You were like a daughter to Us. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of Us went with you the day God called you home. We will always love you. As long as We have Love for you in our hearts, You will always be with Us. Love, Mr. Chuck and Ms. Linda
I never thought it would be hard for me to see you gain your wings, and my heart is broken. God loved you the most. Rest in peace, my niece, until we reunite on the other side. Love, Uncle Bobby
