To the family and children of Kim: Kim was a beautiful Christian woman inside and out. Her smile could light up a room! I was one of her B.E. facilitators and witnessed her amazing ability to reach out to others even through her own struggles with life. Her Christian testimony will live in our hearts forever. She was a wonderful lady and her faith in Jesus Christ was a shining example to everyone. May your faith in God sustain you during this time. You're in my prayers.

Dear Max, Sam, & Tess, AND FAMILY & FRIENDS OF KIM - We were so very sorry to hear of your loss. Kim was a beautiful person with a big heart. And IWe know her children will be just like her! She loved you all so very much!...and was so proud of you! Kim came to Grafton one year to do a TV commercial with me for our local cable 8 access channel. We had a whole lot of fun that particular day, as Kim prepared a potato recipe for the viewers...she didn't want to do it at first - she was nervous - but it turned out great and we had a lot of laughs together! Kim became a friend to us through what was then called the RED RIVER VALLEY POTATO GROWER'S ASSOCIATION - now known as Northern Plains. Meetings, golf outtings, and good old fashioned friendship are some of what we shared. We're proud to have known her and pray for all of you family and friends to carry on in life the way Kim would wish you to, and make her proud! She's in a great place now - no more pain and suffering - and I'm sure she's one of Gods most beautiful Angels! God Bless you all! Love & Laughter Always, Kathi & Greg Anderson

Dear Family of Kim Johnson, Kim and I got to know each other during the 80's when she lived in Grand Forks. Rachelle Roble was a roommate and a friend of mine, so naturally Kim became a friend too. I always admired the way Kim could smile despite whatever was going on in her life and the quirky insight she had about the people around her. When you were in Kim's presence you couldn't help but be warmed by her smile and by the way she loved to live life to the fullest. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you. Love, Weezey

To the Susag family, I am so sorry for Kim's passing. Kim and I went to High School together, we were Cheerleaders together as well, she was always so full of life and always had the most beautiful smile. I did not know about her illness I was just informed by my parents and I will miss her deeply. I pray for her children and know that your mother was a very loving person. The last time I saw Kim was at our 10 year class reunion and she was still the most gourgeous woman in our class. We had a lot of wonderful years together in High School. God bless you and keep you in God's light. Love Kim
