Q: What will you never forget about Kimberly?
A: This is my 2nd entry into Kim's Memory Book. After being present at her viewing at Glade Creek Baptist Church on Friday, October 11, 2024 and again at her funeral service and Celebration Of Life event after the funeral on Saturday, October 12, 2024, I felt I had to share some truly relevant thoughts of the life of Kimberly Jo Price, as I knew her.
Kimberly left a "legacy" that very few people will ever experience. The outpouring of love, honor, appreciation, joy and also sadness was a true testimony of the life Kim led here on earth. She touched so many lives, many of which she was probably never aware of. Friends and family alike came from everywhere to show their love, support and respect for this beautiful woman that we all loved dearly. The numbers were staggering.
As I looked into the casket that evening and gently stroked her arm, I said my final goodbyes to the earthly existence of Kim Price, knowing I was only viewing the body she inhabited here on earth. I had to remind myself that Kim was, at that very moment, and had been since her passing on October 8, 2024 in Heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I know that Kim lived by this creed in her earthly life and we all should follow her example of a life well lived and full of hope. If I could only be half the example that Kim was in this life, I would be filled with joy at the knowledge of a life well lived.
I know Kim lived by this creed, Phillippians 3:20 "But our citizenship is in Heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ" Yo Kim, Heaven wasn't just a future destination, it's where we were ALWAYS meant to be! Our lives here on earth are temporary, a brief journey in comparison to eternity. This world is not our final home. We were created for something far greater, a life with God that lasts forever! Kim's soul always longed for HOME, the place where every tear will be wiped away, and every sorrow will be no more (Rev. 21:4). I truly feel that here on earth Kim caught brief glimpses of Heaven in moments of peace, joy and love, however they are fleeting. Heaven is where those things will be constant, where we will dwell in the presence of God FOREVER! Kim knew Heaven isn't just a place of rest; it's a place where we will reign with Christ, engaging in work and WORSHIP that fulfills the deepest desires of our hearts. Kim knew that her final HOME in Heaven is a place where every longing shall be met and every broken thing made whole. With this hope in mind, Kim lived each day here with a PURPOSE knowing that her TRUE HOME is waiting, full of joy, beauty, and the presence of God! To Kim, that was a promise worth living for and holding on to!
I truly love you Kimberly Jo Price and I'm now assured that you are so joyful and at peace in your FINAL destination at HOME with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I will miss you everyday, however I also rejoice that you are finally HOME!
Love You,
Brenda Brewster

Mom, the reality that you’re gone to Heaven is still settling in. I am so happy for you to be free of pain, but you took a huge portion of my heart with you. I miss you so much already, but as you told us many times “God didn’t bring us this far to drop us now”. Your words of encouragement have played in my mind so many times, and I’m so thankful you shared them so often. You taught us how to rely on God and that’s what I’m doing now. I can’t face losing you in my own strength, it has to be God’s.
You’d be so proud of Pops. He’s keeping us unified as a family.
We all miss you, but we’re holding on to Heaven.
I’m going to miss Friday night dinners, I’m so sorry we got out of practice on those. I’m going to miss you at church, and even sending each other funnies. Most of all I’m going to miss your calm, constant, reassuring presence.
Thank you for being my Mother. I’d choose you again a million lifetimes over. Thank you for being my first best friend. As long as I have breath you’ll be with me.When I no longer have breath, I’ll be with you.
“I love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living My Momma you’ll be.”
With a broken and grateful heart,
Your Loving Son.

Q: What will you never forget about Kimberly?
A: I miss Kimberly Jo Price beyond what words can express. With all my heart and soul, she and Richie's presence in my life has truly been a Gift from God. When she entered into her Heavenly Home on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, she took a piece of my heart with her. I know she is now with her Lord and Savior, rejoicing, walking upright, singing, never again to endure pain and suffering. The angels were gathered at the gates of Heaven to welcome her Home! She fought many battles here on earth and was truly ready to rest in the loving arms of her Savior. I prayed ceaselessly for her COMPLETE healing, however God had plans to take her Home to relieve her from her pain and suffering and God's Will be done! I was being selfish because I didn't want to let her go! I will continue to thank God every day for allowing Kim and Richie to be a huge influence and part of my life. This parting is only temporary for we will meet again and I praise God for His saving Grace that makes that possible.
Kim, I pray you carried this in your heart while on earth and now in Heaven. Except for my husband and son, you and Richie have been one of the great loves of my life. I appreciate and I am eternally grateful for every single act of kindness you and Richie have ever bestowed on my life. I thank God daily for both of you. You have been a source of joy in my life and I can only hope and pray that I have, in some way, brought joy into your lives also.
I met Kim and Richie the first time I walked through the doors of my new Home at Glade Creek Baptist Church, only a few short months ago. They were one of the first members I spoke with on that Sunday morning. I knew instantly they would become my precious friends. Kim, holding her beloved fur baby Macy, had a spark and kindness you can't explain. It was like you could see her love for God shining all around her. She truly lived up to the commandment of God to be salt and light in a dark world. Kim and Richie both lived their life in a way you could truly see they stood on God's promises and would never compromise their faith and morals, for any reason. I will always be so grateful and blessed that God allowed me to have had such a precious, kind, loving and beautiful, inside and out Sister in Christ, even if for only a short time.
Kimberly this is for you:
"The Tender Gift of Friendship"
The tender gift of friendship
is a present from God above
it's wrapped in kindness, sealed with trust,
and tied with ribbons of love.
The tender gift of friendship
is a treasure when its true
And my precious Kim
there could never be,
a more cherished friend than you.
I LOVE YOU KIMBERLY JO PRICE
My Sister in Christ,
Brenda Brewster

Kimmie was such a sweet soul. One of the first ones to welcome us at Glade Creek Baptist. No matter how she was feeling or what was going on, she was always checking on others and praying for others. Going to miss her hugs on Wednesdays and seeing her smile on Sundays. Prayers for Richie, Aaron and family. Sweet Kimmie is going to be missed.
