Kim was an invaluable part of our team, playing a key role and collaborating seamlessly with multiple teams. Kim was more than just an employee; she was a cornerstone of our team.

Her commitment to her work and her colleagues was genuinely inspiring, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of working with her. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family during this difficult time.

So sorry Chris.
Sorry for your loss
I worked with Kim for the past five years and quickly learned about her deep love for her family. She taught me so much about selflessness and leadership. I will always carry her in my heart and cherish our time together. My deepest condolences to her entire family.
Kim, I am truly grateful for past 5 years that you inspired me and colleagues to work together. You taught me what true work ethics is, how to take the challenges, how to help and support colleagues. You will be remembered as not just a colleague but a true friend and an exemplary human being. Thinking of fondest memories of you, Kim! You showed up the first day at work with a long leg cast and stopped by each cubicle to introduce yourself, a team-building event where we all participated in a go-kart race, and a fishing event. When we brainstormed projects in the conference room, you were always here and there to take opportunities to mentor and support colleagues. These memories will live on in our hearts and minds. Rest in peace, dear friend, and colleague.
Kim had a heart of gold and saw it as a coworker when we did community service at a school for Motorola. Some of my best memories were when our Motorola group went to China together. Kim was quite the trooper and really engaged with the culture and people we interacted with. Dedicated and a hard worker she was 100% reliable and a pleasure to have known. So sad she is gone but know we are all better have known her.
Christopher and Ryan, I'm very sorry to have heard of your mom's passing. She was beautiful and dedicated to both of you. She is at piece and will live in your hearts forever. Regine
