LEONARD, Kimberley Peacefully and with dignity, surrounded by loving family, on Monday, December 4, 2006, Kim left us at the young age of 46. She is survived by her parents, Audrey Rishaur (Ottawa) and Clifford Leonard (Lise) (Thurso, QC). Beloved mother of Terri Lavallee and Audrey Koran both of Ottawa. Partner of Paul Koran (Ottawa). Survived by sister Donna Leonard (Ottawa), brother Cliff Leonard (Mariane) (Berwick, ON), and half-brother Jesse Leonard of Thurso, QC. She will be dearly missed by her nieces and nephews, Amanda D'Aoust, Zachary Robitaille, Robin, Allie and Cole Leonard. Friends may call at the Westboro Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 403 Richmond Rd. (at Roosevelt), on Thursday, December 7th, 7 to 9 p.m. and on Friday, December 8th, 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Service will be held in the Chapel on Saturday, December 9th at 1 p.m. Family respectfully request that no flowers be sent. An expression of sympathy may be made in the form of donation to a charity of your choice or to the Civic Hospital.

I used to live below Kim on Morissette in Ottawa, we became very close friends, I remember her smile and sense of humor. She lived for Terri, and she had just found out she was expecting Audrey when I moved out of town. I just found out about her passing, my condolences to her kids and Donna and Amanda. I have fond memories only.

It has taken me along time to sign this book. The shock and complete loss I feel is so overwhelming. Kim has been my pillar for many many years, and having to accept this reality is so very hard.

Terri and Audrey, my arms wrap around you so tightly as I let your tears flow. Your mom told so very many times how much she loved you both. A mother gets angry sometimes but that love never dies. You both know that your mother will always look down on you and will always protect you, because that's what a mother does. I will always be here for you, if only for an ear to hear your words. I too love you both very very much.

Audrey and Terri, I just wanted to let you know that I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was one of a kind. I will always remember her by "Yes Honey" and how she always made an effort to be extra nice to my three boys (Jacob, Justin & Samuel) while I ordered my Coffee with 2 cream and two timbits each for the boys. She always made time for small talk. I went to my son's hockey game this morning and one of the fathers on the kids hockey team mentioned how he was shock & sad about Kimberly to another father. We were all mentionning how she would be missed. Alot of people will definitely miss her. She will always be thought of when I'm ordering my coffee at Tim Hortons. She ROCKS!!!! You both take care of yourselves and make her proud because I'm sure she watching and smiling.
