Jim Leonard Leonardid@aol.com Please accept my deepest sympathy for your family loss and may the good Lord bless each of you with peace, comfort, and understanding at this time. Sincerely, Jim Leonard Tyler Grant Gamercooltyler@hotmail.com I know that Colten’s dad was all he had after his mom died, I knew him like a best friend. And after Colten's dad died, I stayed the night at his house and comforted him. We will be true friends to the end. Rich McIsaac rich@bygrace.myrf.net Kim is a friend I can truly say I love. Something good in my spirit loved and recognized something good in his spirit. I've known Kim since late junior high, back when we were all absorbed in our own self satisfaction. That self satisfaction thing, for some of us lasted way too long but praise God we (including Kim) lived long enough to get past that. I will always hold Kim dear in my heart and hope someday to see him in heaven. I pray for fond memories of Kim in your hearts also. Kim's friend, Rich McIsaac Greg Bishop Kim was a good friend. We had alot of fun when we were growing up. He will be missed!!! Tammy Asbury (DeMott) imagne08@aol.com My thoughts and prayers are with you.Kim was a good hearted person.
