*I was just on reading your Memorial . I never have been able to share this , but I believe that Kimmy saved my life . On October 13th a couple of weeks after your tragic accident I myself was in an accident I was by myself in my car and I fell asleep and hit a telephone pole. It was a miracle I had survived. I was barely injured. The next morning I went to get my things out of my car and in my passenger seat was your Card from your funeral with a prayer from the Bible. It gave me chills all through my body- some may not think this is a big deal except that I did not go to Kimmy's funeral in my car I went with my friend Mindy Shreiner and she drove.. I have no idea how the Prayer card ever got into my car but I do believe Kimmy was there with me at the time of my accident I just want to thank you so much Kimmy I was heading down the wrong path in my life and now I am totally changed from almost seven years ago I just lost my Dad and now know how it feels to lose someone so very important in your life. I am now a Christian who believes in God and all that he does. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hoover Family I never have had a chance to contact Sharon or Crystal to let them know this but I feel that they should know that I truly believe I am hear now because Kim was there on the night of my accident and she spared my life. I want everyone that reads this to know that alcohol almost destroyed my life and that nothing good comes from it

*Kimmy was a free spirit. She was so beautiful. We all miss her so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think of her. She was always there to help someone. She had 2 sisters Lisa and Crystal, and a brother Jamie. Kimmy was so active into things. She was talented. She was doing cheers for the Magics since the age of seven. Kimmy WAS SO FUNNY! She really enjoyed time with her niece Melissa and Alex. She had fun with Hunter her nephew. I wish she could of been here to see her baby niece Ava. Kimmy would of loved her like she did the rest of them. We have lots of pictures of all of them. She was a beautiful baby with the cutest chipmunk cheeks. She was so little and bright like a shining star. We love you. 

Mom and Dad and family!

*Kimmy passed away on September 23,2000. It was a tragic car accident, and a great loss. It was in Gods hands and his plan. She had a lot of suffering in her life since the age of 14. Now she has peace. We all miss her deeply. She is so unforgettable and always in our hearts. Kimmy's best friends were Dan Stepek, Kim, Jessica, and Shea who she liked a lot but they grew apart. Kimmy was an artist. She could draw anything. She drew Jim Morrison from the doors, Marilyn Monroe, Mariah Carey with a Butterfly and JESUS. An angel for mom and many more. She was signed up to attend Akron U in the late fall 2000. She was going to major in nursing. A lot of people took advantage of Kim, but now no one can hurt her. She is in a Beautiful place, even though we would like her to be here with us. She was so funny and could she dance. She was so Beautiful Blonde hair, blue-gray eyes, small frame and 4 feet 11. She was so happy to reach that height. Kimmy's Dad built her a water fountain In Memory of her. We all miss her Beautiful smile, laugh, energy and her love for all of us! She was a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Our family is not the same anymore without Kimmy. She truly was a Precious, valuable Daughter, sister and friend. She will always Live in us! We Love her, Miss her, and cannot wait to hug kiss her and and be face to face with Kimmy. Love Kimberly's MOM.

*I don't have a day that goes by my little butterfly that I don't think of your beautiful smile, your love for happy who you was so excited about getting. I look at your treasured drawings and think of all the others you would of done, only if you had the chance, but your chance ran out. You will always remain my precious sweet pea, who I always adored and stuck up for when you were right. I Love you my little butterfly unforgettable and forever

Mom

*Kimmy was a wonderful person with a heart bigger than the sun. I wish everyday that she could still be a part of our life. If you Knew kimmy she touched your life in one way or another. We met in 95 or 96 and became great friends, she moved to Florida with me and we went through a lot and our friendship was really tested. With that time spent we really found out what true friendship was. Kimmy inspired me to be a better person, and I am now in the military doing better than my past ever depicted me too. This is due to the conversations, feelings, and covictions shared with Kimmy that are held dear to me. Life can only wonder the amazments that would have unfolded if the world worked more sincerley...Unfortunatly, my hopes differ from what is real. Your friend for life Kim love you. Dan Stepak

*Kimmy was a wonderful and beautiful young girl i had meet in 1993.She lived up the street from us and became friends with my daughter Tiffany. If Kimmy wasn't at our home then Tiffany was at Kimmy's. I will never forget her gorgeous smile and that unforgettable laugh. She always called me mom and when she came into the room it was like a light had just been turned on in the room. She is thought of daily by Tiffany and myself. Tiffany has a beautiful daughter now and she not long ago that Kimmy would have loved Alexis and she was right, the Kimmy I knew was loving, energetic, funny and oh so talkative. We loved to hear her tell her stories, she always made me laugh and cry. She will always be loved and remembered by us.

*You were the one to run to, for a shoulder to cry on...

You were the one everyone relied on..

Any dreams or fears were safe with you....

I'll admit it, I ran to you too...

We used to talk for hours about our futures. Now I know none of it will ever happen. I know if you were here you would tell me "be strong" "don't cry". I'll be here waiting for you. I just want you to know you will never be far. My mind will always be full of memories of you.. I know there is a time to go. But how can merely being 18 be the time to do so......

Kimmy was my best friend and I miss her so much, no one will ever be able to take her place in my heart.....

Tiffany Sayre

*Kimmy has so many friends that still remember her. She is unforgettable and in our hearts. Kimmys best friend Dan got married to a beautiful girl. She resembles Kimmy. They are going to have a Baby, due near Kimmys B-Day. I am so honored that they are naming her Kimberlee Rose. What a beautiful name! I want to thank Dan and Jen, Jerri, Shea,Timmy Stasko, Neve,Nicole, Ray,Carey, Tiffiany,Kim, and others, who were so close to Kimmy and still have her in there Hearts. We are all having a  hard time with this.

I Love You, MaMa Hoov

*Happy Birthday Kimmy on December 9th at 22 years old. 2003.We can hardly believe it! But in Heaven you are still 18.

We would love to hold you one more time. It will be quick when we meet again. We Love you, Mom, Dad, and Family.

*Well Kimberlee Rose was born on November 28th 2003. She belongs to Dan and Jen Stepack. Dan was very Best friends with Kimmy. That was very special that they named the baby Kimberlee. She was shy 11 days from Kimmy Hoovers Birthday Dec.9th. The baby is simply Beautiful! Like Mom and Dad. We are so proud of her and I know Kimmy is too, with love Kimmys Mom ,Sharon

*I'm not sure that anyone would remember my name because I moved from Barberton in 1992...but Kimmy was my best friend up until then. I lived up the street from her and we were together quite a bit. I didn't know that this memorial existed until recently, but I could never find the right words to say anyway. I remember the day that it was announced that Kimmy had died, and it was on the radio that I had heard the news. It was awful and so sad. I think of her every single day and regret that we drifted. I have her picture in my room, a keychain that she had given me when I moved away with her picture in it. I had actually seen Kimmy, by chance, on my birthday that year at Kent State Ice Arena. We talked and were both so happy to see each other. I miss her and always missed her friendship. In all of the years growing up and in school, I never had a friend like Kimmy. She was definitely impossible to forget and one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to meet. I will never forget our crazy times or funny memories. She was both crazy and hilarious...so their are many memories I have.

I wish all of her friends and family well.

Thanks...Kylene Arvay

*Kimberly was my sister and my best friend. There were many time we did not get along, but that's just how sisters are. Only If I could tell her how much I love her and how sorry I am for ever fighting with her. Her and I had some great times, she was the only person in the world who could make me laugh (no matter what) We would always be driving in my car, and would see who could come up with the stupidest dance. I remember so many things about her. She loved my son Hunter so much. She really helped me out when I was in a bind to find someone to watch him. She really loved kids, music and drawing. I will never forget one single thing about her, as long as I live. I am so glad I had the chance to know such a wonderful, fun-loving, hilarious person. She will always live on in my heart. Love ya Sis, Crystal

My baby sister with a beautiful smile!! and a face that glowed as bright as the sun above. I'm so truly grateful to have had you for a sister. My daughter Melissa loved and looked up to you as her older sister. Kim I hope you realized before the LORD brought you home, how beautiful of a women you had grown to become. I'll always remember and cherish special talks we had together, while you sat looking so pretty at your vanity. I only now wish that i could of said great job to you. Wise at only 18 years old you kim had made up your own mind to establish a career, collage, and to start taking life seriously. We all noticed a complete change in your attitude. I believe in my heart that you loved the LORD and might have known, he was calling you home baby gurl.The year 2000 you no longer needed to fear. Kimmy I was so proud of you. Not only were a sister but also a great friend. Thank you for always listing and for just caring. Dan Stepic- The best buddie you ever had, he loved you with all his heart.

You will always be the beautiful one. Kim you know have a beautiful new home in heaven and walk those streets of gold we all love you. love your sister, Melissa, and friend love big sis Lisa

*I remember hearing the news about Kimmy's death, I was devastated. I have known Kimmy since 1st grade, we were great friends up until 7th grade when we drifted apart. I remember it was always me, Kimmy, and Helga, through the good times and the bad. Kim is someone I will never forget, she was smart, beautiful, fun, and strong willed. I regret us drifting apart, but whenever we did see each other, we would also stop and have a conversation. It took me awhile to write this, I could not find the right words, and it is still so hard to believe that she is gone. My prayers are with her family, and RIP Kimmy.

*Dear Kimmy,

We miss you so much! I went and lit a candle in memory of you last night at the madd vigal.We Love You.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (23)

Decemember 9-2004

*Remember Me

To the living, I am gone.

To the sorrowful I will never return,

To the angry, I was cheated.

But to the HAPPY, I am at peace.

And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, But I can listen.

I cannot be seen, But I can be heard.

So as you stand upon a shore,

Gazing at a Beautiful sea- Remember me.

As you look in awe at a mighty

Forest and its grand majesty- Remember me.

As you look upon a flower

And admire its simplicity- Remember me.

Remember me in your Heart, Your thoughts, And your memories

Of the times we Loved The times we cried.

The times we fought, The times we laughed.

For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.

*A Heart of gold stopped beating,

God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the Best.

God knows you had to leave us, But you did not go alone,

for part of us went with you, The day he took you home.

To some you are  forgotten, To others just part of the past,

but to us who loved and lost you, The memory will always last.

We think of you Kimmy Everyday.
