❤️ you’ll never b forgotten princess 👸 ❤️
I just recently met Kimberly when she stopped by St. Anthony’s this past Friday. Such an intelligent woman, we talked for two hours of our ups & downs in life & how to survive in this me-me culture !! She had more common sense than most & a good heart 🫶
God called her home & she said she was ready. May she finally rest in peace 🕊️
My deepest sympathy to Kim’s family. I met Kim at Roosevelt Elementary School in Fargo. She was endlessly funny, curious, kind and a little mischievous. I had a lot of fun with Kim as a child and will always fondly remember her. I didn’t meet her children but when I saw her after they were born she gushed with pride. Her parents, brother and sister were always kind to me as a child.
Kim, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other but every time there was lots of big hugs and laughs. Going to miss you and knowing you’re not here hurts. Love you my friend♥️RIP
Every head bowed
Every heart filled with pain
Silence echoed loudly as
Your beautiful wings were gained.
And the tears did fall
From the heavens like rain
On the daythat the angels
Softly sang your name.
Kim,
I just want to say that I love you like my own sister.You were a part of my life since I was 15.
You were Mary and Samuel’s best Auntie , we always had such fun with you and your kiddos.You showed us your love and took us in when we were feeling lonesome – our slumber parties will never be forgotten, Kim. Thank you for your fierce love of family, US. You will be missed, lady. The memories we’ve made and shared throughout the years will live on in our hearts and minds.. Fly High Sister !!

May God hold you close at this time. Kim is at peace with The One who made her and sent her to earth. She was so kind hearted, and she loved her kids. Right now, there’s little comfort to be found. Just know that there are lots of friends holding you close in our thoughts. Love to you – from Judy & Harold Thompsen
I’ve known Kim for over 45 years and have many wonderful memories of her. Kim was always so kind to me and always brought a smile to my face.
Her life, full of its challenges, never kept her from being kind and caring.
You’re at peace now, Kim. Fly high and run free.
You will forever be remembered and missed.
With love, Nikki Losee
Kimmy. Words can not express how my heart breaks right now. If it wasn’t for you last summer I would not be here today. I hope and pray you ate at peace My friend. God speed. Krissy. Kris Bjerke
Our sincere condolences to the Hawkins family and to Kim’s family. May God wrap his arms around you and comfort you.
I just can’t believe this or understand your passing. We we friends since like 1st grade and attended the same church. We went on to graduate together. I was there for your marriage to Jim. I experienced Chad’s motorcycle accident and the trauma from that. You were always a crazy gal living on the edge. I will not judge. I hope you just pass on over to a better place. Love you Kim
I met Kimberly on Saturday evening (27th) as I was walking around St. Mary’s Cathedral. She had found a place to rest there, so I stopped and we chatted for a few minutes. She was interested to know how old I was to see if I was the same age as any of her children, and if I perhaps had been in school with them. She listed their ages to me, and I fall between two of them. She told me that she grew up going to church across the street with her parents, but she sometimes snuck over to St. Mary’s when they wouldn’t know! She was a Fargo girl on the move, and expressed her gratitude to me multiple times for stopping to chat, for having a spot to rest for the moment, for the kindness of the others she met before I passed her way. I left her, impressed by her thankfulness and care for her family, and encouraged to be more generous myself. I keep her in my prayers. Eternal rest grant unto Kim, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
Barb – my heart breaks for you. I can’t imagine the sorrow and pain you are experiencing. Please know I am thinking of you.
