"God saw Kim getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although you were loved dearly, no one could make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. "

"How could I forget Gina's sister "Hockey Mom" as she was called when many, many, years ago when I did a Pampered Chef party for her. She was always very upbeat and kind! Remember comparing cancer notes with her since both of our cancers came back. Admired her strength and determination! Was so happy she was my boys Guidance secretary, especially this past year when Donald was out sick so much....Wonderful person! My prayers are with her family."

"My sincere condolences go out to the Mariotz and Lepore family! Kim and I reconnected over the years and I always felt so happy anytime we talked. Kim was such a strong person who gave 100 percent to everything she did and everyone she cared about. In my own personal opinion; she didn't lose the battle to cancer but she won an eternity when she said yes when Jesus called her home. R.I.P. sweet angel!"

She truly enjoyed it and she smiled at me and said thank you , it made her feel better if only for that moment. "

"I had the honor of working side by side with Kim at the high school. We shared many laughs, many stories and shed some tears. What I always admired most about Kim was that "everyday she ALWAYS had a smile on her face" and told her how proud I was of her. I will always treasure our friendship. My deepest condolences go out to John, their children and the entire family"

"To the Mariotz and Lepore familes, You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Our fondest memory of Kim was when she was a child and lived across the street from us and my Mother was washing the woodwork and Kim came running over and in the house and knocked the whole bucket of water all over and my mother told her to go home and never come back. Kim left and came back about an hour later to visit again. All was forgiven. She was about 4 at the time. She spent most of her childhood at my house."
