A wife, a Mother, a Grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.
….........You will always be our Sunshine.
She was the strongest person I knew. For all she went through, she still had the energy to support us and help us be happy. She was so sweet and funny and I will miss her so very much. I love you Grandma.
Not fair for the many health issues she had through the years, but also many good memories of her from when she was small. Deepest sympathy from Uncle John Bowers and his wife Dar.
Sending 10,000 Angels to wrap their Wings around the family...to comfort & carry them through the days ahead. Holding all of you in our prayers. Go rest high on that mountain, doll.
I had many good times and laughs with Kim when they lived in Colorado.
Many memories of my mom....I am at a loss of words right now. The poem I shared sums up how I feel. I will miss the talks, wisdom, jokes, and strength that my mom had. Forever in my heart, sunshine
Kim is my niece, always a special sparkle in her eyes. She was a very strong person, loved her family and will be missed by all! Love you Kim!
I love her voice it was so sweet I would always do the sign of the cross when I would pass the church they grew up in many prayers rest in peace
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU
AMEN
Kim was a good friend to me and a good listener. I always enjoyed her company over a cup of coffee and missed her when she moved from McMinnville. She was a beautiful person. Rest in peace my friend. XOXO
May she rest in peace. Thank you for trusting Johnson Funeral Home.
