  9. Kim,
    Words cannot express the level of sadness I feel when I think about not hearing your voice again. From the moment we met I knew you were a feisty one and together we were going to conquer the world or at least SSA, one component at a time. You truly were the kind of friend most people could only wish for. 

    To the Variano family, 
    Thank you for sharing Kim with the rest of the world. She was so caring and genuine, honest to her core. I knew we would be life long friends, I only wish we had more time. She truly was a blessing. 

    Until we meet again,
    Xoxo (as Kim would sign)

  10. We all lose family and friends as we journey through life. Sometimes the loss hit harder than others. This one hit me far below the belt. In your mind you know it is coming but it does not prepare the heart for the hurt. Kim you were my sister. We didn't talk much but you could not tell whenever we did. Remembering your sense of humor, laugh, piercing eyes, and smile will warm my heart and bring happy tears. The joke you made about the TTY machine keeps a smile on my face after all these years. David, Devon, and Dav Jr, I pray for strength and comfort as you continue forward with an angel on your shoulder. She was a GREAT wife, mother, sister, and friend. Be blessed and be safe!

  11. Kim was more than a co worker , she was my friend. She was such a dedicated worker and I always admired her for that. She was a great mom and wife. She was blessed with a loving family and I will miss my friend. DAVID DEVON and DAVID JR I am praying for you all and the rest of the family.
    Rest in love girl…😇❤️

  15. I am so very sorry to hear of Kim’s passing.  I grew up across the street from her in Hampton, VA.  I knew all the family.  What a sad situation.  Condolences and prayers for the family during this very difficult time.

  16. I am going to miss you so much! We had so much fun together laughing, crying, cussing and then wiping it all away to take care of business because that’s what we do!  Kim, you were the warmest, most caring and loving friend/coworker I had the pleasure of working with.  You will be greatly missed my friend. 
    You will forever be in my thoughts. Please visit me in my dreams so we can have that drink on the beach.
    To the Variano family, my condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you!  Thank you for sharing Kim with me. 🙏🏽❤️

  17. I am so sorry for the whole Variano family.  Even after all the years, news like this still saddens me deeply.  I hope you find support and solace in close family and friends.  Please know that this old friend is thinking about you and sending you strength:

  18. My condolences to Kim's family.  I had the privilege of working with Kim @ SSA for over 10 years.  She was the highlight of many days, and the only friend who understood my dry/warped sense of humor.  She was compassionate, smart, beautiful and full of life.  She loved her family, her dogs, her job, Bingo, and pizza hot pockets!  I was truly blessed to have our lives cross.  Rest in peace Kim.  
    Sending healing prayers — Debbie Mamott 

  19. Sorry to hear of Kim's passing…will lift up the family in prayers 🙏 for strength and perseverance.

  20. Kim – It's hard to believe that you're not with us anymore. I will always cherish our time together and remember all the stuff we used to laughed and cried about. I will always remember our conversations about North Carolina and every time I visit NC, I will always think of you. You were a wonderful person, a coworker, and a friend.

    I will miss you dearly. To Kim's family – I am so sorry for your loss. She spoke of you guys often and I know she loved you all very much.

  22. My deepest sympathy to the Variano Family, David,  Devon and David Jr. Kim was a joy to work with and full of energy on the baseball field. We had many good moments with our children. Rest in peace my friend. 😇 🙏🏽 🕯️ ❤️ 

  23. She did a great job in raising her family and treated them only with love and kindness. 
    She’s watching over us from above.  

  24. My mother did her absolute best in being a loving wife to my father, and being an amazing caretaker for my sister and I. Words cannot describe how much I miss her, but I carry her strength and will with me everyday. Her determination to fight everyday before her passing has only inspired me. A true fighter, I only admire the one last lesson she departed onto all of us – strength, determination, and willingness to never give up will overcome all. I love you mom, may you rest in peace
