Kimberly Thierheimer - Online Memorial Website

I still miss Kim,
she will always make me smile as I think of her. Her antiques antics, buying, selling, trading, she loved it all. Most of all, you could see the love she had for life, and family.Thanks to the Dugger family, you brought Kim into my life and my brother Jeff's, we will always be thankful.
I can still hear her chuckle to herself.....

     I am so sorry for your loss and can only pray the Lord will give your family a peace that only he can provide.
     I  truly regret not being able to attend Thursdays service but your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Steve Walters / Class of 76

Dear Thierheimer and Dugger Families,

My name is Sheri Vaughan and I was in the Mt. Zion High School Class of 1976 with Kim.  After learning about the death of my classmate, Kim, I was unable to stop thinking about her.  I got off work Monday evening and quietly drove home while my mind played a slide show of memories from 1969 through 1976.  In my mind’s eye I saw our Homecoming Queen, a beautiful, vivacious lady whose smile lighted up a room.

Kim’s death came as a shock to me as well as to many of my other classmates.  On Facebook I saw that the classmates she remained close to had visited her during her battle.  She must have taken great comfort in knowing they were there with words of comfort in hopes that she would beat this awful disease.  I can only imagine what your families went through for months on end, praying daily and maybe even hourly for a miracle.  I was not there to watch what this devastating disease did to your wife, your mother, your daughter and your sister, but my instincts say that Kim, being the strong and vivacious woman she was, fought a good battle. She had to be the epitome of grace with her bright, beautiful smile and her pretty brown eyes sparkling in spite of the pain she was suffering. 

Although Kim and I were not close during our junior high and high school years, we did share one memory.  I would like to share that memory with all of you. It was the summer of 1976 when some friends invited me to go to Daytona Beach.  I was only 17 at the time and had never been to Florida so I accepted.  There were 6 girls on that trip; Debbie and Sherry Stutes, Julie Wiley, Kim, Cindy Wells and myself.  I got to know Kim better during that trip.  I can picture the 6 of us in two different cars, travelling down the interstate side by side and Debbie occasionally doing something that would crack us all up.  I’ll spare you the details but I’m sure those of you who know Debbie can imagine the antics that she could come up with.  I was never part of the “in crowd” but Kim was kind and gracious and welcomed me into the group as if I had always been a part of it.  I had fun on that trip and brought back some good memories from Daytona Beach.   One of the best was getting to know Kim.  I wish I could have thanked Kim for making a shy, timid, 17 year old feel like part of the group.

Kim could light up a room with her smile.  So when I look up and see the bright sun shining down upon me, I will remember Kim’s bright, beautiful smile.  Kim’s eyes twinkled when she smiled. So when I look up into the dark sky at night and see the stars twinkling like Christmas lights, I’ll remember those twinkling velvet brown eyes of Kim’s.   Kim’s voice was as soft as a rain shower. So when the rain is falling softly from the sky, I will think of Kim’s soft, sweet voice filtering down from above assuring everyone that she is finally at peace.

Angels swept our Homecoming Queen turned Angel up in their arms and carried her ever so gently to Heaven where they placed her in God’s loving arms.  There she will remain for Eternity waiting to be reunited one day with her family and friends.  I know I hope to see her in Heaven one day.  On Thursday I know she will be looking down upon all from the Heavens above. 

In closing, I want to offer my sincere condolences and prayers to your families and if I may take a few lyrics from a song from Sarah McLaughlin, please remember “She’s In the Arms of the Angels”.  She’s at Peace.

Respectfully,

Sheri Vaughan 

To the Dugger family,

 

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know when I lost my baby brother, Rocky, it was devastating and knowing people cared about my situation helped tremendously.  Kim was such a sweet person and had such strength through her ordeal and I am sure she was an inspiration to all of you.

Your family has and always will be in my heart and in my prayers.

 

May God bless and keep you in his sight, giving you mercy and comfort,

 

Love,

Wendy and Gary Shugart

Thank you all for the kind and comforting words. Those words are what are helping me, (I am sure the rest of our family too) get through this difficult time. 

 

Everything you all have said, I cannot agree with more.  Kim was that same sweet, kind, fun, smiling person with us also, so full of laughter and yes, life!  To be so loved is a wonderful thing.  :)  I am so proud to be her sister.

 

I miss you so much, Kim, and knowing you are with our family always, helps, but I will always want to put my arms around you "just one more time".  I love you more than words can say.

 

Your big sissy,

 Deb

Mike, We are so sorry to hear about your sister, Kim. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. Russ and Diane Kuhn
