    Posted: Today at 4:41pm
Hello ladies.  My name is Matt, and I am the Pink Warrior's loving hubby.  I am so terribly sorry to have to announce that my dearest Kimberly lost her fight this morning.  God called her home around 11:30 today.  She fought a very noble and valiant fight.  And she fought it all the way to the end.  I don't have the time to go into any details because I have to go get our precious daughter from day care and let her know the bad news.

I know you all are a very tight and supporting community.  I thank you for all your prayers in the past, in the future.  And I pray that each of you all that are effected by this devastating disease are able to find a course of treatment that works for you.  God Bless you all!

Dear Matt,

Thank you for taking the time to post. I am without words....they seem so inadequate. Your wife was a truly lovely woman. I hate to ask you to do this but could you be so kind, at some point, to go into the forum called Remembering Nancy Block Zenna-TNBC tributes and try to post some more biographical information there. I think we would all appreciate knowing more about your lovely bride.

She was not just a warrior for herself; she was for many here as well. She simply graced us with her presence. Even as she fought she reached out to help all of us. Truly remarkable.

It was an honor for me to get to know her a bit. 

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

warmly,

Steve

Matt, knowing Kim's courage I am not surprised that she found a warrior soul mate in you. Your love gave her such strength and lasting courage and now I want you to know that though you are facing another journey to keep yourself and your young daughter and family upright in a world that must feel like it is spinning out of control, please please return here to visit as you are a part of our forever family and whatever we can do to give you support, we will stand by.
 
For you and your family, one of my favorites
 
                                   The Little Ship
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea.
The setting sun tinted her white sails with a golden light and as she disappeared from sight
   a voice at my side whispered. "She is gone"
But the sea was a narrow one.
On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy
   expection.
Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion
   had whispered "She is gone"
   A glad shout went up in joyous welcome. "Here she comes!"

I got to know Kim from this forum and we both had recurrences about the same time and shared so much going through treatment together.  I consider Kim my good friend.  I had the privilege and honor to meet Kim, Matt and their family.  Matt and Kim truly were a team and supported each other unconditionally.  Kim told me she found someone special in Matt and she was blessed.  I have to agree.  But I also believe Matt was equally blessed in finding a partner in Kim.  The first time we had lunch together Kim had made me this beautiful bracelet and also crafted the box it came in.  Kim was so talented and creative.

The last time I saw Kim was on December 9th when her and Matt joined us for lunch after one of Kim's treatments in St. Louis.  At that time, Kim was doing so well and responding to treatment.  I prayed that it would continue.  My heart has been so heavy today with Kim's passing.  I can't believe this beautiful person is gone from us.  I wish all of you could have met Kim.  She fought this with all she had to give.  She loved her husband and children so much.

Matt, you will always be part of our family.  Let us help you and your family if you need anything.  Bless you Matt for being a wonderful husband and father.

Donna

Matt:
 
I am literally sick to my stomach at reading this post.  Even when I clicked on it, I thought it was Kim telling us of another sister's passing - not that it was Kim that has left us.  Please know that we all are sincerely mourning the loss of your beloved, brave, compassionate and loving wife.  While I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, and getting to know her personally, as Donna was fortunate to do, I feel as though I did know her personally. 
 
Please know that my prayers and my condolences are being sent to you and the children, and all the many others that loved Kim too, both through this post and in spirit.  We all have been blessed having had Kim leave her footprints on our hearts.  God bless you.

Matt, I am just crushed.  Kim became a dear friend , first through this community and later through FB and phone calls.    I am crying here at my desk.  I am so very very sorry you lost your darling wife.  She tried so hard to stay on earth for you and the lovely daughter you created together.    What a completely hideous disease - I hate it so much. 

I can only imagine what you are going through as you prepare to break the news to your sweet little girl.    She is very lucky to have you for a father.  I know you will continue to raise her with great love and help her remember Kim.  

Our arms are around both of you, and Kim's spirit as well.

Love,
Denise

My heart breaks for Kim's family. So hard, so wrong. What a brave young man she has for a son. A very sad day. Tears and questions of why her, why now. She will be missed. Praying for her family. 

Thanks, Donna, for keeping us informed. I'm so glad you got to meet Kim.

Kim was a kind and generous person. Not all of us would show our wounds and imperfections to try and help someone else. Kim did. She wanted affirmation of what she had and at the same time to show all of us what to watch for. (remember the skin mets pictures she shared?)

Matt you are a special husband and J is a special son. All of the children are special. Also know from me what a Special Person Kim was. All my Love and Prayers.

God Bless,

Matt and children,

From Kim's posts on the TNBC forum, we got to know her strength, fighting spirit as well as
her caring and sharing with all the TNBC members, families and friends.

Kim, know your goodness and strength will live on in those you loved and cared for.

May Kim's strength and love continue to encircle her own family and friends ( and her TNBC
family and friends ) now and always.

And, as Kim said in some of her posts to others, we now say to Kim.........
        Kim........Rest in Eternal Peace.

With caring thoughts,

Grateful for today.............Judy

I just went back to find the one post that Kim wrote in October that made me chuckle and will have those images in my mind of her for a long time! Happy driving Kim! xox

What a difference a day can make. Hold onto that!!
I got up this mid day (haha) around 11:45 and came upstairs. I took my shower, got dressed, ate lunch and played around on Facebook a while. I bounced my baby girl on my lap, snuggled and hugged her, laughed with her, rubbed noses with her. Josh had the day off from school for teacher conferences so he watched Beth for me while I LEFT THE HOUSE ALONE. I drove my little blue Mustang all over town with my stereo blaring in my ears.

I remember when Matt surprised Kim with the new blue Mustang.  She was so excited and happy to see it in her driveway.  She loved that car and the feeling while driving it with the music turned up!

Matt posted the sweetest video on his FB page.  It was a clip of their beautiful 5 year old daughter sitting at the computer watching a slide show of pictures of Kim.  Beth was talking to her mother and even sang happy birthday to her.  My tears were falling as I watched.

Matt,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I enjoyed meeting you and Kim at lunch with Donna S. in December. Kim was such a strong, confident and caring person with such strong faith. I'm so glad that she had you by her side for support and that you will be there for your children. I hope that in time you will have peace.
