Megan & Aaron and Family , My heartfelt and deepest condolences to you and the family and to the many friends who knew and loved your mom ! From the day we met at Church when you were just toddlers we hit it off. Your mom had such a loving and giving heart. When she loved she loved hard. Kim loved you both so much . I will continue to pray for God's peace and comfort and that he will give you the strength and courage to get through this time of sadness ! God will heal the brokenhearted ... With much love and condolences ,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Kim was a gracious soul that opened her heart and home and was a "second mom" to my son Matt. She understood him and
so did Megan, who is is his best friend. We will miss you terribly Kim. I will do the same for your children that you did for mine and that is love them unconditionally. Your radiant smile will live on in our hearts forever.

Kim was one of the kindest, gentlest ladies I knew. We worked together at LMS for several years and she always had words of encouragement for me and her students. She was truly one of a kind. Kim, go rest high on that Mountain, you deserve it!

Megan and Aaron - your mom loved you both and was so proud of you. You will always have a part of her living within yourselves.

To Kim's family, there are no words to express my sympathy for the loss you are enduring. I pray for God to wrap His arms of love and peace around you! I pray He will send the right words through the right people at the right time to bring you comfort. Kim was loved by so many and obviously changed the lives of so many people by the way that she loved them! May she forever be remembered for the positive impact she had and will continue to have on so many lives!
Much love and heartfelt condolences,
Amanda (Madewell) Fenstermaker

Just know without a doubt that your Mom was loved by so many people and she will remain in our hearts forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kim's children as they grieve the loss of their mother. Losing a mother is never easy, but her light will never fade because she lives in the heart of her children and in the heart of every child she taught. This is Kim's legacy and it is one that keeps her memory alive and will keep her light burning bright for years to come. In closing, please know that no matter how dark this time may appear that God takes care of His own. He is caring for Kim now and will continue to care for those who grieve her passing.

Kim Croft is the most beautiful soul inside and out. She and I worked together at Walgreens and I could always count on receiving the best hug and warmest smile from her. I am so happy I had the privilege of watching her son Aaron and (his now wife)Kandace meet and fall in love. We all watched out for each other and I even called her my second momma. My heart aches for everyone who knew and loved Kim, she was truly and light in all the darkness. You will always be loved and cherished Momma Kim.

This past school year was my first year at HMS. My room was right beside Kim's. She was such a sweet sweet lady and great teacher. She and I both would need to step out of our rooms to do something at times. She was always happy to cover me during those times and I can't tell you how many times I borrowed something from her classroom. She was always so helpful to me. She will be missed by anyone that knew her.

To her family,
know you are in my prayers and will continue to be.

with deepest sympathy,

Charley Torbett

Dear Kim Croft Family,

Please know that at your time of loss, I am praying in English and German. I never had Mrs.Croft as a teacher but knew who she was. I was in 6A and she was in 6B. I went to LMS from 95 till 99. At least she's at Peace now and with her colleagues that I miss. Mrs.Corbitt, Mrs.Haddock and Mrs.Terrell. Rest In Peace Mrs.Croft

I am so saddened to hear about a teacher whose brilliant life was cut short. I did not know Ms.Croft but the student tributes are so moving. Although I am retired from teaching, I still pray for all teachers who remain in the field. Prayers for the families, students and coworkers .
