Rest in Peace Kim,

Wally and I respect your families privacy.

You will be at rest and peace as you step over to meet all the loved ones that have since passed, sending light and love to your daughters and grandchildren, family and friends so they can always hold you in their hearts.

I went to school with Kim she was always smiling and happy I would run into her sometimes always talked like nothing changed ,So sorry to hear of her passing may Kim RIP ♥️

Kim I loved you so much I will treasure every moment we had You were my best friend and a wonderful sister so kind caring and always helping everyone. You never had a mean word to say and always the peace keeper keeping everyone together I miss you so much but I take comfort knowing you are with mom dad grandma and Wayne. I could never express what you meant to me and my kids you will always be lovingly remembered for all you have done for us. My heart is broken til Im with you again. Love you always

I am so heartbroken over the loss of you auntie Kim. You have been in my mind each day. Your kindness and nuturing nature was so present in any interaction I ever had with you. You were just a beautiful person inside and out. You were a second mom to my husband and your nephew Kevin. He has shared so many Kimmy stories with me over the years and I always loved hearing them. You really were an amazing woman with a heart of gold. I wish we all had more time with you, but I know we will all carry you in our hearts always. The world would be a better place if it had more people like you. You were always there for everyone else and never asked for anything in return. You truly were a rare gem and things won't be the same with you gone. I will miss stopping by for a visit where you always offered us sneaky snacks and Kimmy juice when Kev and I would go for walks by your place. You would always tell us to call you earlier or the day before so you could have bought some BBQ peanuts for Kev. Just seeing you was always enough. I'll miss your Christmas Eve parties. I'll miss your smile and laugh most of all. I am honoured I got to consider you as an aunt and to have been able to get to know you. I remember when Kevin and I first started dating and he talked about going to visit you and said "just wait till you meet auntie Kim! You will love her! Everybody loves her!"

love you Kimmy ❤️

I will always remember the sleepovers we had at kim's when we were kids!

Always with popcorn & juice & movies

or playing sonic on the sega, & as we got older it was always, find somewhere to go or come to kims! ❤️

& yes of coarse the Christmas parties! my fav! love you always auntie kim! 😢

I will always remember the times when we would come over on the weekends and we would watch untold stories of the ER, or you would have have little snacks waiting for us and we would play and sit in the back room. There was a time where me and my sister were staying with you when we were young and we didn't have any toys at your house , but you had your cat princesses cat toys and me and my sister would play with them and you would just giggle. I remember you telling me how you got into our families family tree and how I was so excited that one day me and you could go through it together when I was old enough. I will always remember how your home felt like my home and the safeness it gave off. You were a light and everyone knew that. Anytime I hear Elvis Presley I always think of you, and now I will be singing just a little bit harde. I love you so much auntie kimmy❤️ may you rest in peace

I wrote this for my Aunt and had my mother read it to her before she was gone. I think anyone who knew her knew what I was expressing so I'd like to share that.

Aunty Kim,

I want you to know that you were like a second mom to me. Most kids don’t even get one mom but I got to have 3. Some of my best memories with you we’re you telling me stories with your statues, the birthday parties you effortlessly made amazing, sneaky snacks that nobody made like you did, your kimmy juice, and the way you made gift baskets. My favorite gift was my graduation present you made me of picnic items. You took care of me, and made me feel like nobody else did. You always told me I didn’t need anybody else to complete me - not a man - not anybody. I know now that’s because you were able to do that for yourself. i will remember that forever any time a person steps into my life who isn’t worth my time ill know i am complete because i have you filling that gap. I will continue to make your bbq potatoes for people so they can see how amazing your food was. And I will bring the same amount of wonder and excitement to children like you did for me. I love you so much. I’m so grateful for everything you did. Christmas will never be the same. I will have to learn how to make your matrimonial cake. The magic you put into holidays and anything was beautiful and childlike. You were a parent for so many kids and took care of everyone’s kids. You will always be my inspiration as a woman. And I hope to carry myself as you did. I love you.

this post was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't agree more. The Only reason I could see for her being gone is because she was done her work here. I have had trouble with mourning my aunt but I think people should know, Kim was extremely private. She didn't want anybody to worry for her. She was always embarrassed if the attention was on her and she spent her time trying to care for others. often times being there she would ask repeatedly to get me her famous tea, soda, water, treats. Anything. Nobody made snacks like her growing up. Nobody did parties like her. She had the best Christmas tree and wrapping paper. Her love of Elvis was unmatched. She didn't like to see anybody upset or fighting and often would be solace in others grief or pain. She was truly an angel on earth. I know she was so proud of Melissa and Mandy. And looking through old photos I now see Melissa in old photos of Kim - they have the same humor and resilience. And Mandy became the exact mom Kimmy was. A mom to everyone, neighbors, friends and family.

love you ♥️

Love u sis always
