Wow! So sorry to hear this and sorry for your families loss. Kim was such a neat and special person. Kim was one of my brothers caregivers, as a CNA, at Union Park Care Facility. She took great care to protect his dignity. As a result of his long stay there we became good friends and have kept in touch. Remember the past and cherish your memories. I know we will of Kim.

Words can not describe how everyone at Union Park is feeling. Kim was a valuable member of our care team. Between the residents and the staff, everyone is feeling sadness for the loss. It has been comforting hearing all of the memories and stories of Kim. We would like to let the family know our hearts go out to them and please reach out if we can help in any way. Kim will be missed, she was an amazing person.
