My Heart goes out to Mrs.Kim and her family. My Grandchildren have rode her bus since Kindergarden. She was a wonderful bus driver and friend. She cared for all her students. She waved at me everymorning and evening.I will truly miss that and our little chats at the Dollar Store. “May God Be with her and keep her as she starts a new Journey in Heaven” We Love you Mrs.Kim Mrs.Peggy,Teresa Colten.Melissa,LiL Peg and your LIttle buddy Travis Sunday
Kim was a kind and wonderful person. She was always willing to help if you were in need. To Greg and the family – You’ll be in mine and Ricky”s prayers.
Kim – You will be missed but not forgotten.
NO FAREWELL WORDS
No farewell words were spoken,
no time to say goodbye, you were
gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why
Greg, I am praying for you and your family as you adjust to your lost. I will always remember your wife’s beautiful smile and her friendliness. Be encouraged…Ivy
Kim will be missed by so many!
Her “Bus Babies” was a big part of her life and she loved them all so much.
She always put others before herself, and loved her family more than anything in this world.
I just can’t grasp that she is gone, at such a young age, but you know they say God takes the good ones, well he got a good one.
The pain, the heart break, and the hurt left for us to deal with is the hardest part.
I pray for peace and comfort for her Mom & Dad, her kids, her brother & sister, and also her co-workers who loved her so much, and also her “bus babies’ that will miss her so much in the days to come.
She has now joined our “bigmama” who I know was waiting with open arms. WOW what a reunion it must have been!
Love you Kim Waters Sims……….God help us all in knowing she is in your arms now, with Bigmama, and others who have gone before her.
RIP Kim, love you dearly <3 and I have no doubt that we will see you again
Kim was a great asset to the Transportation Department. She was more than just a coworker. She was a friend to many. She cared deeply for her students. She will be greatly missed. Just know we will conitnue to pray that God will give you His peace that passes all understading.
Our sympathy to the family. Mrs Sims was truly loved by our son Andrew. She was “his” bus driver and friend. Our children are our most important asset and we always knew he was safe with Mrs Sims. To Mrs Sims ,THANK YOU for your time here. To the family, may you find peace and comfort in Jesus, our prayers go out to you.
This is such a hard thing to get my head around. I’ve known Kim since she and Greg started dating..They used to run around with my son when they were in high school, then I really came to know her when she started driving the bus. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.. RIP Kim
