God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

I became part of this family over twenty four years ago and I met Kim then. She has always been kind and friendly to me and I'll always remember that about her. Both myself and Laura have had some discussions over what happens next. How Kathy is going to take it? How the kids will adjust? And, how everyone else in the extended family will react and feel? We can only offer our condolences to her immediate family and hope that time will only bring memories of the good times. As for the kids, they will now be looked after by Richard and the remaining members of the clan. As for Brandy, one can never replace the loss of one's mother and we all feel her loss. We are always there should we be needed. Love to everyone and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Kim is my cousin, we had lots of good times as kids.
My favorite memory of her as a child was of Kim and Darrell playing together, they are the same age and were like twins. They were so cute, I remember a picture my mother had of them in a chair, both with devilish grins on their faces.
It is a sad thing to die so young especially for her children I feel so bad about that.
I will remember her with love. She will be missed by all of us.

I will always remember the camping trips I took with Kim and Brandy and Jimmy & Erica, we had a lot of fun in the White Mountains and the Lower Falls on the Kangamagis Highway, especially the Hike a Mile camping trail, where our food floated away and moose ran through the site in the middle of the night and we stayed anyway. I will always treasure those times. Love Ya, Andrea

Kim was my sister, and she loved to laugh and have fun, and i could make her laugh till she cried with a simple look. I will miss being with her and having fun. She was a strong, vibrant woman who was loved by many. When i think of my sisters, i think of us as a team. On Monday we lost our captain. She loved and protected us all and always had our back. I love her dearly and will miss her bright smile and hearty laugh. I am grateful and proud to call her my sister.

My mother was probably the most beautiful person I have ever met (inside and out). She loved to make people happy, and was always quick to show a smile or chuckle out a laugh. She touched so many people, and she continues to do so. I want to thank everyone for their posts and let you know that my mom is still very much alive both through me and in the hearts of all that she loved.
Anyone who would like to attend her service is this friday at 10am at the Saint Louis De France Church on West Sixth St. In Lowell. I would love to see you all there!
And to my mom... i miss you and i love you always... tell David I said Hi and i miss him too! I'm glad you are back together!

Kim was a beautiful and vibrant lady, quick to laugh or give a hug to a cousin in need of one. Our paths diverged, but I will always cherish the memories of the cousin I grew up with. She will be sadly missed. Love you, Kim.

To Kim's children and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
I met Kim years ago when she used to date my uncle Dave Renaud. Kim was such a great person and such a great mother. Though I hadn't seen Kim in along time I thought of her often. May you rest in peace Kim. You will be forever missed.

I have known Kim her entire life. You couldn't help but love her. She had a bright personality, and drew people to her like a moth to a flame. She will be missed.
