My deepest condolences to Jeff, Andrew, and Alyssa. My heart aches for you and yet grateful Kim is no longer suffering. I will always cherish Kim's park visits when she'd come to pick up the kids from Lori. Thankful I was able to visit with her and the kids when they came last summer. Didn't know it would be our last park visit however pretty darn cool we laughed our butts off ( well maybe not fully). Fly with the Angels beautiful Mama, you were well loved. Your family is now surrounded in your light and protection as you are now their Guardian Angel in Heaven. Much love and prayers surround you all from my house to yours. Love, Tracy
Although I did now know you, I learned of your passing from your father here in South Texas. Our hearts hurt for him and all those who loved you and who's lives you have touched. As I read these sweet posts from your family and friends, it is very clear that you were a very special person. You were so very young, too young to leave this world but clearly you made an impact and had a special place in so many hearts.....which is all any of us can hope for really......to love and be loved...to be a daughter, a wife, a mother a friend.....another beautiful soul is soaring with the angels now.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kim and Jeff in 2013. I was Andrews childcare provider for a year until Princess Alyssa arrived. Kim would drop off the kids every morning working full-time, going to chemo and caring for her family relentlessly. Kim pushed herself daily never a thought of quitting , never a complaint or a negative thought. Kim’s positive attitude was contagious day in and day out. God had a plan when Kim and Jeff walked thru my doors, the Bensor family will forever be in my life.
I asked Kim to join a stair climb with me a few years ago. We trained weekly while she had side effects from Chemo, neuropathy in her feet and hands. Never once did she complain about the side effects being too tired or a thought of quitting. Kim completed the stair climb with her husband Jeff right by her side the whole way.
I was fortunate enough to be in Utah the last week of Kim’s life. I watched Jeff non stop caring for Kim’s every need. He was in constant contact with the doctors and nurses making sure she was never uncomfortable or in pain. Jeff is a phenomenal husband and father never resting until Kim and the kids were taken care of first. Kim fought every minute in the hospital loving Alyssa, Andrew and Jeff until the very end. I was worried about a Jeff being alone in Utah with the kids. Boy was I wrong, Kim knew exactly what she was doing when they moved to Kaysville, Utah. She set Jeff and the kids up in the perfect town to raise kids. The outpouring of support the community is giving the family has filled my heart with hope happiness and Love.
Kim, I will always keep you present in my heart and will always be in your kids lives. God speed Kim🥰🥰
