I have many memories of our years together at 3M and afterwards even though there was many miles between us the memories prevail. Love you Kim. Will always remember the fun times. Lillian
To my dear Godmother, Aunt and friend.... May your soul now rest in peace and comfort.... I close my eyes as I wipe a tear. I just keep wishing you were still here. I will hold all the memories deep in my heart. Through these memories we'll never part. I close my eyes as I wipe a tear. I just keep wishing this pain would disappear. I didn’t get the chance to say my last good-bye. I just didn’t think you could ever die. I close my eyes as I wipe a tear. All of your love I will always hold near. In my heart and my mind I will never be alone. When my time comes...... I will meet you in heaven! I LOVE AND MISS YOU! Love you Aunt Kim... My deepest sympathies to you Uncle Steve and the rest of your family xoxoxo Cyndi and Rob, Brittany Madison and Sawyer
We were two sisters who shared the same birth day and I will miss her dearly. Rest in peace, Kim. Love Phyllis.
My condolences to Steve, Mari-Lynn, Scott, Michelle, my sis Sue and all of your families. I'm sad for my sister and two nieces Alicia and Madison. My heart goes out to all of you. I feel like through Sue, I picked up several "Kimisms". Specifically her art of folding laundry. I may not have seen Kim in a few years, but Sue's family is like family to me and she will truly be missed. One of my favorite memories of Kim took place on Sue's wedding day. Sue, Michelle, Mari-Lynn, Kim and I were at the house getting ready before the wedding and all parties mentioned, bride included, were cool and collected. I was a nervous, antsy mess and kept pacing, going outside, coming back in, et cetera, et cetera. On my fourth or fifth inside/outside pacing session, there was Kim, shot in hand. She gave me the shot and said "Take this. Relax and sit down already". This memory still and will always make me laugh. My thoughts go out to all of you. Love, Claudine
Aunt Kim was one classy lady. After so many years of health problems, we hope she has finally found peace. We can see her up there going to all those garage sales that she love to do. She will be missed by many. Love Deb, Lee & Graham Males.
Dear Uncle Steve, Scott, Michelle, Mari-Lynn, Susan and all of your families. At this very difficult time may you have some peace knowing Aunt Kim is no longer in pain. Hold onto your memories and let them guide you during this time of sadness. My favourite memory of Aunt Kim, is how she and her sisters made such an effort to keep family ties together through the years by organizing Clipperton Family Reunions...... Aunt Kim rest in peace!!!!! Love Karen and Gord Terry and Tasha and Braeden Mitchell and Laura

I will always remember visiting your home (which always seemed so beautiful and perfect to me!) and your white Christmas tree! Funny the things you remember from childhood. I'll miss being with you at the cottage, and your 'air kisses'. Love you Aunt Kim, although we live so far away, you've always remained in my heart. It was nice to speak with you when David was born.
