I'm sorry to hear of Kims passing...my thoughts and prayers go out to Bill and Marie, Kims family and all of her siblings. I have just learned of her passing from my sister Karen (Anderson) Forsythe. Would have made the trip for her service, very sorry I missed it. It's been 30+ years since I've seen most of the Parenteau "kids" from the 2nd Ave neighborehood. May God Bless you all.

Kim & I grew up together in NSP for several of our young years, she was sweet then and sounds like she became a wonderful woman. I am very sorry for your loss of such a vibrant warm lady so young.

May God bless and give you comfort at this time.

I'm one of Kim's cousins and have known her parents Bill and Marie all my life. My father Jerome and Bill were close friends. I remember Kim when she was a young girl. She was fun to be around.

We were so sorry to hear about Kim's passing. Kim and I worked together at North Shore Credit Union in Silver Bay in the late 90's. She was fun to work with and such a nice friend. She will surely be missed.

Kim and I worked together at the City of Oakdale in the Community Services Department. I had the priviledge to work with her for 7 years and I must say that she was a joy to be around and to work with. Kim had such an easy going demeanor, a wonderful sense of humor and an outgoing personality. I am so glad she was part of my life. My sympathies and prayers to her family.

I was so sorry to hear of Kim's passing. I grew up one block over from the Parenteau's. Kim was always a real sweetie. My sympathies to the Bloomstrom family and to the Parenteau's...

When I started at the City of Oakdale in 1981, I had the honor of meeting Kim. She was so easy-going and outgoing and we quickly became friends. I'll never forgot her wonderful sense of humor, smile, and that devilish laugh. When she left the city for another adventure, we lost touch, but the fact that she touched my life will stay with me forever. I'm so glad I got to know her. Love and prayers to her family.
