Condolences & Memories (17 entries)

• I’m so saddened to hear the news about Kimberly's passing. I’ve done Kim’s hair for years and I have listened to all her amazing stories/accomplishments re both children Kendra and Mitchell who she absolutely adored, their dog Stella who was bratty at times and Dean, she always had something nice to say about him. Her stories always made me laugh as she was a great story teller. She was a strong person, tackled things head on and wasn’t afraid to show her vulnerable side. Condolences to her family Dean, Danny, Kendra, Mitchell and all the people she touched along her journey. - Posted by: Karen (Hairstylist) on: Jul 28, 2021

• Kendra and Mitchell I am so sorry to hear to about your mom’s passing. Sending you love and hugs. Your mom and I were room mates during our training for Wardair back in 1988- we spent many hours studying and laughing together. Take care and know just how much your mom was loved by so many people. - Posted by: Jacinta Crowe (Friend and Colleague) on: Jul 27, 2021

• Kim was my sister’s best friend in high school. She was also our roommate in our first place when we all moved away from home. We lived in a little dinky basement suite where Kim talked us into renting her the furnace room for $90 a month. And that was Kim, always talking us into doing stuff we just normally wouldn’t do. She just exuded life. I was so lucky to reconnect with her when she stayed on Bowen a few summers back. I had not seen her in at least 30 years but she so easy to reconnect with. She was so kind to my mom who talked about Kim’s visit for weeks afterwards. Kim talked so much about her kids and it was clear they were her everything. Kim you are gone much much too soon but I hope you are sitting on a porch by a lake somewhere just chatting with your dad.❤️❤️Kendra and Mitch if you ever come back to visit Bowen know you have a bed! - Posted by: Gitte Jorgensen (Friend) on: Jul 27, 2021

• Sweet Kimberly, What a treasure you were… smart, funny, kind and beautiful! I will miss you. Kendra and Mitchell… so much of our conversations were of you; how grateful she was to have you and how much she loved you. Dean, thank you for all you did for “Kimmy”. Remember the good times! I will always have her in my heart! - Posted by: Pennie Styan (Friend) on: Jul 25, 2021

• Such a tragic loss for everyone who knew Kim, but especially for her kids, who I know she loved more than anything on Earth. Kim and I worked together at TC in Winnipeg. She had such a great sense of humour. Knowing how jealous my wife can be, Kim would often stop by my cubicle, pull a long blond hair from her head and place it on my collar before continuing on her merry way! She always made me laugh and I consider myself very lucky to have met her. She will be missed so, so much, Godspeed Kim. - Posted by: Spike Kavalench (Friend) on: Jul 24, 2021

• I was very saddened to hear the news about a friend. I remember Kim being such a positive person in high school. My sincere condolences to the family and friends. I offer prayers and hugs to you all. RIP Kim - Posted by: Jo-Ann Swelander (High school friend ) on: Jul 24, 2021

• Kim was my closest cousin along with sisters Sherry & Cindy. When we were kids, our family used to travel up to 100 mile house where they resided and ride motorcycles together in the countryside. Fond memories forever etched into my soul. I loved her dad (my Uncle Ken) as he was always laughing and lived on the edge! My cousins took after him which probably made Auntie Vivian go grey too quickly! (Kidding). I’m so grateful to have kept in touch with Kim all this time and saddened by her passing. Far too soon like my mom and her dad. I’m sure they are all hanging out together now in the stars laughing at us all engaged in the rat-race, paying taxes and battling the chaos on Earth. See you on the other side Couz! Xoxo - Posted by: Jayson Dirks (Cousin) on: Jul 24, 2021

• We enjoyed many years with Kim and the hockey scene. She was always smiling, cheering and taking photos. She loved the camera and sharing her great action shots which were much appreciated. She was a great supporter of the kids’ sports. We luckily got to enjoy several parties and many cooked appetizers at Kim’s house which were always a delight. She was energetic and a fun spirit. Her love for her children radiated from her when she talked about their accomplishments. She wanted to best for them and cared deeply. We pray Kendra and Mitch will remember and feel her love for years to come. She was taken from them way too young. 💔💔💔 RIP Kimberley. You will be missed. Sincere condolences to Kendra, Mitch, Dan and Dean. Hugs to you all during this difficult time. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ - Posted by: Vicki, Harry and Ben Blackwood (Friends ) on: Jul 24, 2021

• Kim was such a loving mom and amazing cook. She would welcome anyone to her home and did so for many hockey team Christmas parties. She was the biggest fan to her children and took literally thousands of beautiful photos of them on any occasion she could. She would do anything for anyone but just could not find a way to do the same for herself. We love you and will never forget your kindness Kim. Kendra and Mitch are two remarkable young adults, a tribute to you, but they needed you here. We are so sorry to say goodbye to you. - Posted by: Cynthia Carr (Friend ) on: Jul 24, 2021
