I went to school with Kim for at John Carroll and had many classes with her. She was incredibly kind, and sweet with a great sense of humor. Kim had a fantastic attitude and wonderful spirit that showed through to anyone who knew her. Just a wonderful person that I will always remember fondly. God Bless Kim and the entire Boniface family.

Words seem inadequate to express my sadness . Kim was like a sister to me growing up. She was a talented equestrian with a strong will and gentle spirit. She was one of the toughest yet kindest people I have ever met. Someone as special as Kim will never be forgotten. She will always be in my heart .
Sending my love and prayers to the entire Boniface family.
Love,
Holly

My sincere condolences to Kim’s family and all of her friends. My heart is broken for Kim. I met Kim in Florida for the racing season, when she lived and boarded Fieldcat on my property and we became friends thereafter. Kim was devoted to the horses, but made the time to have fun, she had a great sense of humor, and one of the most generous persons I have ever met. Kim would go out of her way for anyone in need. Kim had a beautiful soul, and I will miss her dearly. Sending my love and prayers to the Boniface family. Love Patrice Manley

To say that Kim was one of a kind is truly an understatement. She was one of the kindest and most fun people I have ever known. She was the hardest worker and an unbelievable horsewoman. She was also an amazing friend. Even though we didn't see/talk much, it didn't matter because when we did we always picked right up where we left off, just like the good old days.
My heart is full of sadness for the entire Boniface family. Kim, may you be in a beautiful place filled with all the things you love. I will forever miss you. Shannon Watkins
