Kim carried her childhood characteristic of lively likeability through adulthood, always making time for a heartfelt- or humorous- conversation. Her children, Daniel 5, and Gabriella “Gabby”, 3, posses that same twinkle, and her family will forever help them remember how much she loved them and enjoyed seeing them grow.

Kim perpetually strove to be her best in all of her roles, as mother and family member and in her professional life. Not only was she a dedicated employee at Rochester Gas and Electric for seven years, she frequently looked for added responsibility. Kim was quick with compassionate advice and a confidant to those in her extended family,the Szczesniaks, and so many others. What she did not fully realize,– and we hope she has discovered now — is that she was all we ever wanted her to be.

We miss her with unfathomable depth, and will continue to embody her spirit in each of our own ways.
