| Words spoken by Kimberly's Dad Jay at her funeral My
Dearest Kimberly, There
is truly a special relationship that a father shares with his daughter. It is
one that I have cherished since I first held you in my arms, and it is one that
I will cherish forever. You
were such a special person who touched the lives of so many in a positive way.
As a sister, you supported and stuck up for Joshua and Tyler. While you
sometimes fought with your brothers, as siblings will do, there is no question
that you and your brothers held a special love for each other. As a friend, you
were there for your friends. You were funloving, spontaneous and energetic. You
were also there to support and comfort your friends. I do know that when you
were Kimberly's friend, it truly meant something. As a competitor, you were a
team player who loved to be out on the field and be with your teammates. As an
employee, you were conscientious, responsible and always willing to do what was
asked. Finally,
as a daughter... Kimberly you were strong willed constantly testing your mom and
my patience. You were also loving, caring and forthright. We certainly have had
our disagreements, but there has never been a question of our love for each
other. I
probably will never fully understand why G-D chose to take you from us at this
time. My faith tells me that G-D needs you for a greater calling at this time.
But as your father, I Love You and will miss you Kimberly more than I can ever
put into words. If
there is something to come from this, maybe the message is twofold: To
all of the kids, teenagers and young adults. Don't worry about the petty and
small things that really mean nothing. Focus on those things that are really
important and meaningful. Take care of yourselves and others. You are not
invincible... Please cherish life and live it to its fullest. And To
all of the parents... Love your children and be an integral part of their lives.
Please hug your children each day and tell them that you love them. It does
matter, and even if they sometimes don't show it, I know your children love you
and want to hear that you love them. I
love you Kimberly... Please G-D take care of Kimberly... She is with you now. |
