Memories of Kimberly Bowers

Friend: 'Beautiful person, inside and out'

I haven't forgotten about you. We worked together at HRH Construction, 2 Broadway before she moved on to Cantor Fitzgerald. I was new to the business, and she helped me with whatever she could.

Whenever I was having a breakdown due to my old boss, she would console me and calm me down when I was crying -- which was daily. She always knew when I was in the bathroom crying because I was in there a long time.

A lot of times we'd escape for lunch and a drink at the Irish pub downstairs. She always made me laugh. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. She encouraged me to do better and move on. She also encouraged me to get a job at Cantor, I had an interview but never made it.

This makes me so sad to write, and I hope you are in heaven in a much better place. I am so sorry that you had to go that way. It still sickens me. Love you Kim and you will never be forgotten … not ever!
