My life has been turned upside down…

I am trying to get the pieces back in order, but Ignite is this weekend, I have so much make-up work, money issues are pressing, my father is getting on my case, etc, etc, etc!!

Lord, I pray, deliver me… Your prayers for me and Kimberly’s family are treasured. Thank you.

What a wonderful person Kimberly was, with such a beautiful life. She brought happiness and joy to all, praise to her Father in heaven, and has now gone to join Him.

We morn, but we also celebrate her life and are comforted by the knowledge that she is home with Jesus.

I cannot tell you how this has effected me: shown me how every moment not spent bringing glory to God, and loving His children, is wasted.

Daily do I die to myself and instead give my life to my Lord Jesus. May all my being live to honor Him.

In loving memory, Kim. Rest in peace… I can see you singing praises to God right now.

Kim Gessner – Rest In Peace
8/31/86 – 3/21/04

I know how much she loved the Lord Jesus and devoted her life to Him. She’s in heaven right now.

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When Your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for You Jesus?
Or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship You
I can only imagine.

Oh my God, today was so horrible… Kimberly Marie Gessner…

I managed to write this for the funeral service tomorrow:

The words of this world are never quite enough
When speaking the aches of the heart.
But although they may be a frail expression,
These words form our greatest memorial
When we share the life of one so beloved.

Each memory that Kim left behind
Is like a rose peddle which fell from her soul.
And though she walked upon this earth but a moment,
Her unmistakable touch ripples beyond the bounds of time.

Through the countless tears
Of pain, and loss, and grief,
We can grasp onto the hope the Creator has given
And know that we can say goodbye with hope
Because we know our goodbye is not the end.

For there’s a place on the other side of the sky
Free of this world’s uncertainty and doubt
Where we will walk together someday
And see her face again.

We all would greatly appreciate it if you would sign her guestbook on the Chronicle website.

The viewing will be at Klein Funeral Home on Champion Forest from 5 – 8pm on Wednesday, March 24th.

Funeral services will be held at Cypress Creek Christian Church on Cypresswood, next to the police station, at 3pm. Burial will follow.

If you knew Kim, or knew of her, please honor her and attend. I know she would love to have everyone there.

I have been over at her house all last night and all this afternoon. I walked the path of her wreck. I’ve seen to many pictures, cried so many tears, and learned of her life all over again. She was such a wonderful person, a great Christian, and she touched me so much.

I just wish I realized how much I loved her before she was gone… I will never forget her, never. And neither will so many others. Your life has been a blessing to all you had the pleasure of brushing past you in this world, Kim. I love you and miss you soo much. I will see you again in heaven someday. We all love you.
