Kimberley RYAN

Dear Kim,

It is hard to believe that it has been one year since we lost you. You were more than a cousin - you were like a sister to me. It has been a difficult 9+ months for me and I know that if you were here, you would be at my side helping me get through the loss of Gerald.

Heaven definitely ganed some incredible people in 2012.

I miss you lots and think of you often.

Oh the laughs we had, the fun times whether it was having a few drinks, enjoying a sunny afternoon at Lac Ste Marie or come sugaring about our younger days together.

You were one caring and loving person and I just hope that you are safe in heaven!

Love you girl and miss you lots.

Love always Della,, Jasper, Maggie and Jacksin

Hello, Ryan Family ... I attended Willis Business College with Kim. I have lovely, happy memories of the laughs and the fun we had. She was a hoot!! My heart goes out to you all. Sharry Dozois

I did not know Kim but I was made aware of her passing through my friends,because we share the same exact name. I wish I had met her as she is obviously one very loved and highly thought of woman. May we all live life with such a positive attitude,joy,and love for others. Kim sounds like she was a true blessing to all that crossed her path. I myself was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer and Kim's life is an inspiration for me to carry on through this ordeal with a positive outlook. Reading Kim's condolences has made me realize what true courage,love and how to live each day with joy! My prayers go out to her family. She touched my life in a mighty way,just when I needed it the most. I will not forget this gift.

Ida told me of Kim's passing today. Please accept our sincere condolences. Kim will be greatly missed as she touched many people's lives.

My husband Paul has known your family for years as he grew up in Blossom Park. I knew Randy from school. We are neighbours of Ida's.

Kim had always been extremely helpful to me with DND security issues over the years.

Josie and family, please accept my most sincere sympathies at this difficult time.

Josie and family...our most sincere condolences at this time of great loss...may you be blessed by that lifetime of memories and God's loving grace..

I was saddened to hear of Kim's passing on my return home from my travels yesterday. My sincerest sympathies to the family and her large circle of friends. Kim is and was that one in a million person that you meet who truly touches your heart as she was an exceptional women!

Her infectious laugh will be missed, as will her great smile, many a times she made my days brighter with both. Working with and along side her for so many years and travelling together created a treasure chest of memories that I will cherish! A lot of laughter and a few tears thrown in for good measure as well. I know that she will be keeping a watchful eye over all of us, and smiling and laughing along with us. Our memories of our time with her will give us all strength.

I am sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Kim from curling at the Navy and we saw each other from time to time at a social held at Blessed Sacrament. I will keep Kim in my prayers.

Ida and family. I so very sorry for your great loss. I was unable to attend the wake and funeral. Please know my thoughts and prayers have been with all of you .

To the Ryan Family;

I've known Kim for over 20 years and even up until a month ago when I last saw her, she was still that bundle of happiness that she always exuded. A laugh and smile that will be remembered forever.

Anyone that had the opportunity to have her pass through their life became a better person because of it. My thoughts will be with you all as you celebrate the life of a wonderful person, friend and family member.

My heart is heavy in hearing about Kim's passing. She was a wonderful lady always with a smile. She always gave and will continue to give me strength. We will think of Kim often at RCN Navy Curling Club, Kim was one of the family

Dear Josie, Ida, Tyler, and all of the Ryan Family,

We will always remember the cheerful wave from across the street, late night shovelling, barefoot chats in pyjamas on the driveway, countless drives to wherever Vera needed to go at a moment's notice, and, of course, catching up on the neighbourhood news. Kim was one of the kindest, strongest, most considerate people we've ever known... Always putting the needs of others ahead of herself. We hope she knows how highly we will always think of her and how much we'll miss her...

Love,
Don, Vera, and Patti-Jane Stanley
