Happy Families

April 4 2002 a day that will forever be in our hearts. On this day we lost our beautiful daughter Kimberly Dawn. My heart aches as I never had the chance to say Goodbye to my Kim and the chance to understand how she died. As a student at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces New Mexico she had completed her Masters Degree in elementary education in 1996. Something happened from that point on that we will never fully understand. Kim entered a world of drugs that changed her life and ours forever. Between the years 1998-2002 our family suffered through many circumstances that we never could have imagined. This book will share the heart of a mother who would like others to know that you can survive. The way I have survived is my faith in God. With his help I am living on and telling my daughters story and sharing poetry that Kim wrote that will touch the heart of the reader. Enjoy the book and use it as a tool to help others.
