I worked with Kim at the health dept. She was fun to be around. Thoughts are with her family.
Kim was in my Mary Kay unit for many years. I loved catching up with her and “playing makeup.” She was so proud of her family. Prayers for all of you!! ❤️

I am truly sorry for your loss. I loved working with Kim at Fifer. She was a hell of a nurse and a very special woman. My thoughts and prayers to Kim’s family. What a shock.
Dear Jim and Family,So sorry to hear of Kims Passing.I know it has been along time but know my thoughts and prayers are with You and Yours.Steve.
Dear Brink family,
Kim was a kind soul. She worked for me at the Pier in the late 90s, and I remember asking her she lived at 8th and cherry and the Brinks from old St. Rose and she said Yes.
She was just always nice to be with and work too.
I’ll have a mass said for her at historic St. Rose soon. I am so sorry.
Requiem Aternum.
Paul
Heartfelt prayers for all of you: Jim, Abby, Rachel, Cara, Chad and Curt. I hope the good memories will help you through this very difficult time.
