So sorry to read of Kira's passing, she was a wonderful woman. Even though I didn't see her often, It was always a pleasure to see her    Kathy (Kekelik) Barron

I was shocked and saddened to find out about Kira's passing. My heart goes out to Gene Kimmel and the whole Kimmel family as well as Kira's friends. My thoughts are with you.

We will always remember the times we had together.  She was a sweet friend. We loved her SO much and look forward to seeing her in heaven.  We are grieving with the family who we love.  God Bless you all.  Aunt Grace and Uncle Bob

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Such a sad loss for everyone who knew and loved Kira.  Her laugh, her wit, her always unique perspective will be missed dearly.  My sympathy to the Kimmel family and her best friend, Aggie.  We will miss her but she leaves us with so many great memories and a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.

Aggie, my prayers are sent to you and your family. Kira is finally at peace.

With Love, Sara

I'm sorry for your loss.  All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to Aggie and to the entire Kimmel family. I have so many wonderful and fun memories of playing soccer with Kira. Play on, Kira!

Aggie, please know I am with you in spirit, sending you tons of hugs and love.  

Kira: sweet, loving, caring, unconditional person, who has love and respect, because she gave love and respect.  Go in peace. 

Love, Shelly Gulotta

Our deepest sympathy to Aggie and the Kimmel family. Years ago, I (Jacque) had to wonder why two ladies (Kira and Aggie) who I barely knew, would lend me a car for a year and a half. Getting to know Gene, Kris and Karyl...I realized this loving insanity was genetic...they get it from their Father! Praising God for everyone Kira has touched and her testimony of relying on God to the very end. I am certain as the story of her beautiful family is told, she will touch and change lives of so many more! You are all always in my prayers.
With much love,
Jacque Contreras and family

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with your family during these difficult days. May God Bless you with the peace that only He can give.

Aggie,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We send our deepest condolences to you and the Kimmel family. May God Bless.

Karyl, my most sincere condolences are sent to you and your entire family. I know you feel she was taken from you far too soon but I KNOW she is in a better place.
      With love, Doug

Dearest Kimmel family,
Whenever I saw Kira at CFC I often told her how much I liked her mother and how much she reminded me of Marjorie. She would always smile and say, "Thank you." I know that Kira is with the Lord. I love and will pray for you during this time of separation.

Our deepest condolences to the Kimmel family. 
The Stepp family (Lansing, Il) and
Wendell Smith (Lansing,IL)

We were saddened to learn of Kira's passing.  We know she "fought the good fight" for many years and will be missed by her family and friends.  We have many fond memories of the years we spent playing soft ball with Kira, all the fun we had during and after the games and also when we happened to run into Kira and Aggie in Las Vegas several years ago.  It was so good to see them and we had a good time there as well.  This is such a difficult time for the Kimmel family and for Aggie.  Our thought and prayers are with all of you and we hope you can find peace in knowing Kira is at peace in God's loving arms.
Red Piper and Patty Willoughby, Evanston, WY

Kira will be deeply missed.  The love she gave  touched each one of us.  My thoughts and prayers to all who loved her.  I will treasure each memory.

My sincere sympathy to the entire Kimmel family.  May she rest in peace.

Dear Kimmel Family and Aggie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Kira's smarts, wit, sense of humor and genuine kindness are just a few of many traits I'll mention. All of our softball games and "Rat Pack" gigs (too many to mention) were so enhanced by her presence. Thanks for the laughs Kimmel!!!

Dear Mr. Kimmel, Kris, Mike, Matt, Karyl & Aggie,

My deepest sympathies to and your families.  You bonded together making endless sacrifices to help Kira when she needed it most.  I know how much she loved and appreciated you.

Rest in peace my life long friend...

Love Always,

Cindy (Kolanowski) Cantwell

My heart break for you.  She fought hard and almost won.  She had one of the strongest wills I've ever seen.  What a truly beautiful woman, inside and out.  I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with her during her final weeks.  She has forever touched my heart and life, and will truly be missed.  Most sincere condolences to the family.  May her soul rest in eternal peace.  Much love and strength to all of you.  Marguerite Baltages-Ruminski
