Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Condolences on the passing of your beloved Kerry. May fond memories of happier days be a source of comfort during your time of grief. We have the assurance from God that he will swallow up death forever and wipe tears from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8)

  2. Words cant describe the pain of seeing you leave us. For many years you devoted your life to helping kids. The endless weekend home visits, the countless hours put in working a thankless job. The time spent away from your family all to help others. Your kids were not just a check box, you were the real deal and a gold standard social worker. We all love you so much and will miss you every day. Until we meet again in heaven. Rest in peace.

  3. Our thoughts of comfort & peace to Vaughn, familia and all Zimmerman family. May Our Creators love comfoet each & everyone of you. Love~Maria & Family

  4. Thoughts and prayers to Vaughn and the Zimmerman family. I picture Kerry at peace with her father at her side.

    Splendour in the Grass

    What though the radiance
    which was once so bright
    Be now for ever taken from my sight,
    Though nothing can bring back the hour
    Of splendour in the grass,
    of glory in the flower,
    We will grieve not, rather find
    Strength in what remains behind;
    In the primal sympathy
    Which having been must ever be;
    In the soothing thoughts that spring
    Out of human suffering;
    In the faith that looks through death,
    In years that bring the philosophic mind.
    ~ William Wordsworth

  5. I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. I pray that in the midst of everyone’s sorrow, that there is comfort in all the joyful memories. Kerry was bright, loving, gentle and caring person. She brought joy to many and she will be missed. My deepest sympathy.

  6. Vaughn and family. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. I renmber her well when we were kids. Prayers and thoughts are with you.

  7. God called another beautiful woman home. Rest in Peace and God Bless You Always. It is a shame you left us so soon, but God has healed you for eternity….no more suffering.

  8. We were very sorry to hear of Kerry’s passing. Your family has been through so much, and please know that our hearts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
