Jim and family,
I just finally put all this together when attending the election meal at Tiro and they are sharing part of the proceeds with your family. It suddenly struck me that you were on my sub list and I always admired your courage. My heart is broken for you but remember the wonderful times you had together. Our prayers are lifted for your family.

After going to the calling hours and funeral for Kim. I am amazed how strong Jim and the boys were. I am sure their private moments are very hard. Kim would have been happy to see the wonderful send off her family gave her. She touched so many people with her personality and so Kim may you rest in peace and know that the strength your family has was given to them by you.

Jim, Trevor, Tyler, Thomas and The Taylor Family~ You have all lost a beautiful lady and gained a Beautiful Guardian Angel. My daughter and I had the honor of knowing Jim, Kim and the boys years ago. Kim was so girly and loved having girly times with my Alyssa and her niece, Jessica when they were little. Kim’s Smile and laughter were very infectious. She will be Forever Loved and Missed by all of us! May our Lord and Savior wrap his arms around each and every one of you and let her live on through all of your smiles and laughter. Hugs, Prayers and Love to all of you, Kim Vogel and Alyssa <3

Mental illness seems to be taken advantage of by the devil. As a student nurse, I read many charts of the mentally ill. They seem to function normally in many ways while at the same time they are deeply confused. There is very often ” voices ” that tell them to do evil. Just know that God allows evil but it is not His fault. Don’t be angry with God. God can turn horrible things into blessings..such as now you’re whole family and friends (even those you never heard of) will look to heaven more often and pray more. Kimberly’s life was not taken, only changed, and this life no one can take from her. God bless you all.

Beth Goodsite - Nov 5, 2013

Jim and Family, I am so sorry for the tragedy that took Kim’s life. It is not for us to understand, only to trust in The Lord. He will take care of us in our time of need. I will keep your family in my prayers. God bless you. Beth

No words can take away the grief you are feeling. I also had a close friend perish in a similar situation. The gunmen didnt even know her, such as Kim. I am torn to pieces that this happened.

A Very Heartbroken Citizen - Nov 2, 2013

I really didn’t know Kimberly, but I’m sure she was
An amazing person & loved her family so much.
I would like her family & close friend to know that
My heartbreaks for the things that she had to go
Through in that last precious day & it saddens
Me to know she never got the chance to say
How much she loved each & every one of you.
But I’m sure if you could feel the love she is probably
Sending down from heaven to comfort each of you,
And the strength to get each other through these
difficult & very sad days. I’m sure she will be
Deeply missed by everyone that loved & knew her.
My thoughts & prayers will stay with you.
Hearts & Souls connected together forever.
