Tribute to Kim


On Saturday, September 02, 2005 I attended the wake of one of my high school and college classmates. This young lady, Kim Cross-Thomas always appeared to be happy, smiling and bringing cheer and joy to others with her positive energy. The beautiful attitude that she always showed us helped her to live an additional 15 years since she was first diagnosed in 1990 with breast cancer. Her death brought together her former classmates. It also reminded us that we must all do routine checks to look for lumps or any changes in our breast. Please talk to your family members and friends and let them know the importance of getting regular breast exams as a preventive measure against cancer. To her husband James and other family members we will continue to educate others on the importance of preventive health care. To Kim, thank you for the smiles and laughter, your classmates will truly miss you.

Sorry for your loss, rose.

Reminding us all to do regular checks is great as well. Those checks literally save lives.

Peace & blessings to her family and friends.

[Your comment on Light Within Ref] How can you live without a man? This needs a little explanation. BTW, why should you?

Kim was an awsome person. We served in the Marine Corps together and I have so many wonderful memories of Kim. I miss her. Sadly we had lost contact and I had been trying to reach her the months leading up to her death. I decided to google her name today and found out she has gone home to be with the Father. Im so sad right now. I miss her. God Bless you Kim, thank you for having been my friend and for the bond that we shared as sisters in the Corps. I
