I have never known a funnier person than Kim. I work with her at RBC but she made me feel like I was a part of her family. Never will there be another Kim. It breaks my heart that I couldn't be there for the serve. I love you girl. Can't wait to have another talk with you.

My deepest sympathy to Chris, Adam, Howard, and the Paland family; as well as all those who knew and loved Kim. Kim's loving and gentle spirit will live on through her sons Christopher and Adam. I have been blessed to have known Kim since she was 17 years of age...though we hadn't spent enough time together in recent years, I have always loved and respected her. She has always been a phenomenal mother, daughter, sister and friend.
God has called her ~ for this we rejoice.
May the wonderful memories comfort your hearts and dry your tears.
Until then ~ Rest Sweet Angel ~
