My heartfelt condolences to the Cunningham/Hood family. Kim possessed the unique combination of being smart and cool at the same time. While most of us struggled with math at OSU, Kim, with focus and a strong work ethic, made it seem effortless. She was someone you knew would be successful with flair.

My dear classmate Kim, we sat together in our Math/Science class. We had so much fun yet we studied hard. I will always remember your determined spirit and your boldness to stand your grounds. Thank you for the beautiful big smile and the chance to being classmates and friend. Although, time had passed whenever our paths crossed it was like old times..I'm in shock and ask God why...but I have to remind myself that he knows best and he has made room for another Angel.. My sincere condolences to your family and your Austin who exemplifies all that you are...what a fine young man he is indeed. God bless with Love and Grace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Kim, my sister-friend since 1974. What a journey we had together in the village of Glenmont Avenue. Thank you for sharing your family. I will continue to look to the sky on 12/24 to salute you on your birthday. Praying for Ms. C, Austin and all of your family members. The dash between your beginning and your final curtain call was a job well done. Rest well my sister, Until, Gerri

To the Cunningham and Hood family, I knew Kim since the 5th grade when I moved to E. Cleveland and went to Superior Elementary School, we went all the way through Shaw High together. Although we didn’t keep in touch I often think about the folks I’ve known since those times and Kim was one of the people I thought about. I’m so sorry to hear of her transition. I don’t know what her relationship with God was, but if she had one I want to reassure your family that she is in a great place now. Remember all the great times you all shared together. ☺️☺️☺️ With Love, Michelle (See) Robinson Take care of each other!!!

Kim was one of the kindest women I have ever met. She exemplified true commitment in the work that she did on the Rainbow Babies and Children's Foundation Board, while maintaining a stellar corporate career and attending to her family. I will miss her brilliant smile and her kind embrace. My condolences to her family and to her friends. She will be missed.

I was heartbroken to learn that Kim, our beloved Soror and Sister Link passed away. Soror Kim was devoted to her immediate and extended family members, her profession and communities that she tirelessly served. She was a wonderful mother and a good friend. Her intelligence, wit and strength will be greatly missed. While she is no longer with us on earth, her presence will always live on in our hearts I will continue to pray for the family, close friends, and Sorors in the difficult days and weeks ahead. I believe God will comfort our hearts during this difficult part of life’s journey. With heartfelt condolences, Soror/Link Michelle
