Kim was my onboarding partner at Calibrate. I'm just learning about this today and I am so heart broken for her and you, her family. May Grace carry you through this incredible grievance.
Charles there is nothing we can say to make sense out of this or even attempt to make it better. We are so so sorry. We didn’t know Kim but we do know you and over the years have come to feel that you are more than our advisor, but a special friend. Being that Kim was your wife, she must have been a wonderful person like you. Again we are so sorry for your loss and if we can do something for you, please let us know.
I can’t believe I am just learning this. You were literally my first best friend. My first friend. I am so heartbroken. Although we didn’t stay close I am grateful for the little window I had to look into your world and for our little exchanges of mom thoughts. I enjoyed watching you and your family grow. Sending so much love to Mom and Katie and your beautiful little family. Words can’t describe the loss the world has experienced. You were such an amazing soul.
Dear Sister, your love lives on in every smile, every hug, and every moment with your children. Mom and I will continue to pour all our hearts into Mary Rose & Louis Charles, just as you would have wanted. We will hold them close, share your stories, laugh, comfort, and guide them, keeping your spirit alive in everything we do. You will always be with us, in their laughter, their dreams, and in the love that surrounds them every day. We promise to be here for them, always, carrying your light forward in their lives. Love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart. Love, Sister
This quote reminds me so much of my daughter, Kimberley Rose. She truly lived these words. She brought joy through her laughter, strength through her kindness, and healing through her care. Whether it was rescuing a seagull, planting beauty in the earth with her garden, guiding others as a nutritional coach, or simply showing up with love—she made the world better just by being herself. She was a devoted and loving mother, always putting her children first and filling their lives with creativity, warmth, and wonder. She found beauty in the simple things and always managed to see the rainbow after the storm. Fittingly, after she passed, a rainbow appeared. I believe it was her way of letting us know she’s still with us. She was a loving wife, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend—someone who touched every life she encountered with grace and generosity. Her light hasn’t gone out—it lives on in her children, in the community she built, and in all of us who were lucky enough to know and love her. She truly succeeded, in every way that matters.
