Gift
of Life
Kim's always gave of herself when she was alive.
She just loved to help people, even in death, she gave. Through the Gift
of Life, Kimberly was able to give apart of herself to others. Kim's bone marrow
was donated which will help about 50 people. Also, her beautiful eyes have
helped 2 people to see.
Gift of Life had a dedication ceremony for the
donors' families. A family could donate a patch quilt on their love ones
and write about that person. The Gift of Love Quilt has been completed and
will be on display at different functions across the United States.
Below is a picture of the quilt and the story of
Kim.

Kimberly
Ostien
We were blessed with a
beautiful daughter on December 26, 1984. Kim was a character. She loved to
make people laugh. In high school she was known to cheer people up when they
were feeling down. The colors of the quilt represent her high school colors,
garnet and gray. She loved attending Archbishop Prendergast High School. She
excelled very well in high school and made many friends. We’ve included a few
things Kim loved to do on the quilt. She was always on the
cell phone talking. Her favorite
TV shore and cartoon
character was SpongeBob
Squarepants. For Halloween she was
SpongeBob. She had a Spongebob blanket, pillow, calendar and slippers. On her
senior prom she rolled out of the limo with Spongebob slippers in her hand and
wearing sunglasses. She loved to go deep sea fishing
with her Dad when we went to Hilton Head Island, SC. Of course, she
loved kids and helping people and wanted to be a pediatric
nurse. That dream was short lived. The hearts
represent the love she had for people and life and it also represents our
everlasting love for her.
Kim was born into eternal life
on November 25, 2003. She was our angel on earth and she is now our angel in
heaven.
