Take heart, for “The moment we take out last breath on Earth ... we take our first In Heaven”. (Rev. Billy Graham)
And your beautiful, sweet and generous Wife, Mother, Sister, Relative and Friend has taken those first breaths in that gorgeous spiritual home of God. I am very certain that Mr. and Mrs. Krug, her Mother and Father, their son, Christopher, and shy daughter, Bethany, came to greet her; and I suspect in that order.
She is fine! It is all of us, in these physical bodies, who are not ...
But knowing my dear life long friend of 60 years, my other sister, I know from Heaven she would want to say to Lyle, Jennifer, Tyler and brother Jerry and everyone else too, something like the following:
“When you feel like no one understands you, know that I will.
When you think no love can ever heal you, know that mine will.
When you feel like the whole world is against you, know that I am still here to protect you.
When you feel like you are invisible, know that I see you.”
And that is Kim, through and through. She saw all of us, all the time. She saw what each one of us needed, and she delivered.
As a first rate nurse, she saw what each patient needed, and she attended to those needs. Whether it was her kindness, a touch of her hand, a smile, her knowledge and skill; she helped thousands and thousands of people over her 40 year career at Rochester General Hospital.
As a Mother, she loved each one of you, Jennifer, Christopher, Bethany and, oh yes, Tyler. She was so proud of her children. She knew each one of them to their core. We are in Church, so we won’t discuss all of the details, but suffice it to say she knew, and she loved you that much more.
She wants all of her grandchildren, Alex, Jacob, Zachary, Carly, Aiden and Chloe, to stay close, to grow up together. To share the laugher, and love; family and God.
She sees you. She will continue to watch over you.
And then there is her beloved husband, Lyle. Always calling “Lyle” “Lyle”.
Kim will call to you forever, for her love for you, her trust in you is without limit.
They loved to go to plays, and travel and have their circle of friends over, and so much, much more. Their marriage was a solid one. It was to be admired.
I would like to just say two more things.
I watched over these past sad months Kim’s family and friends come together for her.
Her dear brother, Jerry, came every single day to see his “Sis”.
Lyle cared for her, as did Tyler. Whatever she needed her men were there for her.
But I have to say in her daughter, Jennifer, the first born, I watched an Angel, attend to her. Jennifer came through beyond amazing. Her love for her Mother, her tender care for her Mother was awe inspiring. Well done Jennifer, well done.
Finally, I just wanted to import one bit of my story about Kimberly.
No one could have a better and loyal friend. When we where young, Kim, our mutual friend, Karin Carlson Manning, and I would walk to our school bus stop every day. They would come and get me, at my home on Panaview Drive, and off we would go. However, they do not call me the late Jeanne Colombo for nothing. More often than not, I would be running down the stairs, with my Mother yelling for me to get going or we would miss the bus. And my two friends, who should have left me, always waited. They were always loyal, and now 60 years later we are all still friends. My other sisters.
You all have your own sweet memories of Kim. There are so many to share. Make sure you do so with each other. It will help with the healing.
Please my family and friends know this simple truth: “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in Memory”.
So remember Kimberly in each day that comes in to view. Each dawn, remember that she is watching over us. Always seeing us, Loving us...
Love, Jeanne Colombo

It is with a very saddened heart that I write this. I met Kim at RGH. She always came to work with a radiant smile on her face and a positivity that got everyone through the shift. Kim was the most kind, loving, caring, forgiving friend, nurse, mother & wife. She was a strong woman who endured many hardships and not once did she ever complain or be negative about things. She was a wonderful friend and I will truly miss her. RIP my friend.

It is with great sadness as I write this. Kim will always be a shining star! Through our years at Genesee, and working at RGH, Kim always had a smile on her face. She will be missed but knowing she is finally at peace will hopefully give all of you strength in the months ahead. The picture I took when Kim and Lyle got engaged. That smile has never changed! Rest In Peace,Kim! You have earned your place in heaven!

I came across this old photo of Kim and Ginny (my wife) taken at the first Christmas party held in Lyle & Kim's new home on Perrin Drive back in December 1977. We miss both these 'angels' now with God in heaven.

Cousin Kim was an exceptional woman like no others. Being from a extremely large family (our parents) there was always time for celebration's at Grams. When she became a candy stripper at RGH it was so her to help others continually and constantly. She has a large family of her own with her husband and four children, yet she always made you feel special and took time out of her extremely busy life to visit you in the hospital no matter who you were there for. She was modest and always found time to thank you for anything done for her if even a greeting card. You will be so missed yet so relieved you're at peace and there's no doubt in my soul that you are reunited with your heavenly family and God. Many blessings you cousin Kim brought to us and nothing but wonderful memories. You definitely earned your wings Lady.

I mey Kim in 1971 at Star Market. Kim became my friend and helped me get thru the death of a close friend. Over the years we lost touch, Kim was such a kind wonderful spirit with the best smile. God bless Kim and her family I realize they have had much to worry about the past few years. Know Kim will never suffer again, and is now with her babies.For those left behind keep close and cherish the beautiful memories of Kim.

The first time I met Kim was on a surgical floor where she had been working. I was a float nurse at first so It was rare that I would know any staff members. Kim greeted me in the morning as I came onto the floor. She worked nights. She had the most beautiful smile as she welcomed me. I thought she must be thinking of someone else she knew. I learned later that was just who Kim was. She immediately took to people and made them feel comfortable.We became friends. As the years moved along we became close sharing tears and laughter. My heart is saddened that I will no longer have Kim in my life . Such a loss to many especially her family who she passionately loved. I know she is with Bethany and Christopher . We will all feel her presence as we continue our gatherings. We will picture those bright eyes and phenomenal smile. We will hear her laugh and tell her once again how grateful we are that she was in our lives... Peace my beautiful friend❤️ Love , Maryanne

There just aren't enough words to describe over 45 years of friendship through many life experiences: high school, nursing school, weddings, children, visiting even when separated by distance, back yard picnics, laughing together, crying together, Euchre, losing touch, reconnecting (only to learn of the tragedies she had endured) and then having to say good-bye again - even finding out years ago that my Mom and her Dad Jerry grew up together. My oldest daughter, Jessica, who still remembers Jennifer, Chris, Bethany, and Tyler, said it best I think - "She was beyond an amazing lady....and friend." There is a hole in my heart. I am so sad that living in North Carolina, because of Covid, I cannot come back to Rochester to give my love and pay my respects to a family that is so much a part of my life and has endured so much. I love you all. Rest in peace my dear, dear friend.

Kim was many things, too many people.. She was a wife, a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a nurse and a friend. In whatever capacity we knew her to be loving, generous, caring and compassionate.
Kim's life has touched so many of us, her friends were many and each of us were blessed to have had her joy and love touch our lives. Kim was kind-hearted. She was an angle to so many. Her make up was golden and her heart still beams with love.
All the love you created Kim, is still there
All the memories are still there
You live in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.
Death ends a life.
Not a relationship
Love and Prayers to the family who loved her with all their strength

I met Kim when we were in 5th grade, went thru school, then worked at RGH during college, and Kim was an EKG tech there then before she became a nurse. Then saw her several times over the years after I moved to Colorado. The one thing that I always noticed was the smile on her face, and the kindness that she showed to all. Kim was a sweet person, and will be greatly missed. Heaven has gained a very special angel
