CHRISTY WOODS, JUNE 21, 2018 Kimberly, your fun personality could light up any room! So glad to have gotten to spend the day with you a few weeks ago. I'll think of you with each and every Big Red I have. I know you're with my sister, likely causing a ruckus and having so much fun. Will miss that big smile! MELISSA CONRAD, JUNE 21, 2018 Kimberly Gahlinger, mother of Kary Albarez, was an amazing and kind person. She helped us through so many hardships and was always a shoulder to lean on. In my eyes she was head strong, confident and willing to give up anything to make others happy even if it made her sad. In the darkest of times, we will all be able to see her bright smile through it all. She will be dearly missed. DEVIN MOKLER, JUNE 20, 2018 Kim had such a sweet spirit... We met at ECI 5 years ago, we both got hired around the same time. I work at our CBO so did not get to see her as often since she worked off-site, however, when I did see her she always had the most joyful smile on her face. She was so friendly and kind, always. It was such a blessing to have her work with us! She will be dearly missed. Praying for all family and friends during this difficult time.
