Kim and I were classmates all through our school years. We graduated together in 1984. We grew up in Oakland. I am saddened to hear of her passing. Sending prayers of comfort to the Nedd and Taylor families.
Earth has no that heaven can not heal.
Kim was a sweet person. Our friendship at Edward Waters College grew quickly. Kim was a funny and kindhearted. If you needed her she was there. Her love kids wasxstrong, that she was the dorm babysitter. This really broke my heart. She will be missed and always loved. Rest Well my friend.
I will like to send my prayers and condolences to the family and friends. I known Kim since 1995 when I came to Florida she was a sweetheart! Lord send strength and love to each other you!
To Kim Taylor Family
I am sadden to hear about Kim. I met Kim in the latter part of the 90’s in Jacksonville, Florida, through Angela Brock, as I was growing and learning about being a mother of a very sickly child.
I remember that Kim was a gentle soul, because of the way that my youngest son would reach for her and how peaceful and calm Kim spirit was because my son Reginald would go to sleep in her arms.
She was so sweet with a very warm, gentle and inviting smile. I will pray for the family during this very tender loss of such a beautiful person.
