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 |

Matt & Children:
I am so sorry to hear about Kim's passing. She was a trooper and I am sure has left her indelible heart upon all of yours. Please know that Kim will be with you always in your heart and in the memories you have made together. I pray that our Lord be with you always as you journey on to another "new normal" life, less one...
Take care and please know that we are your family here and post whenever you feel the need. We will help you through this as best we can..
Hugs and many prayers for you all, Helen in Nova Scotia ------------- Diag@57TNBC04/092.5cm Lquad 05/09 TCx4Radsx30CT03/01/10 FU03/31/10ClearBRCA- 01/2011 RTNBC BMX 06/14/2011~2013 clear |

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
Stage IV - Lung Mets Posted: Oct 31 2011 at 5:27pm 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. ------------- Diag@57TNBC04/092.5cm Lquad 05/09 TCx4Radsx30CT03/01/10 FU03/31/10ClearBRCA- 01/2011 RTNBC BMX 06/14/2011~2013 clear |

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. ------------- DX IDC TNBC 6/09 age 49, Stage 1,Grade 3, 1.5cm,0/5Nodes,KI-67 48%,BRCA-,6/09bi-mx, recon, T/C X4(9/09) 11/10 Recur IM node, Gem,Carb,Iniparib 12/10,MRI NED 2/11,IMRT Radsx40,CT NED11/13,MRI NED3/15 |

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.

So, so sad to read of Kim "Pink Warrior" passing. Others have more eloquently said all that I could say.
May Matt and the children find Healing, Comfort and Strength in His Grace, even as Kim finds Peace in Eternal Rest. God Bless all of you!

To Kim's Family, I was fortunate to get to know Kim starting last August on the TNBC Forum. We found that we went to the same surgeon at the Siteman Cancer Center in St. Loius. She helped me find ways to stay calm when I first learned I had another recurrence and had progressed to Stage IIIc. She was so brave and clearly fought hard to have as much time as possible with her precious family. I only wish I could have known her longer. I hope you are comforted with the thought that she is whole and perfect again in heaven, and is no longer suffering. In loving memory of your precious mother, wife, sister, friend, Beth ------------- 2008 Stg1 TNBC, LX, FEC+T, rads 2010 2.5cm tumor BRCA-, BMX,CMF 2011 LN mets, Gem/Carbo, surgery, rads 2012 lung mets, PI3Ki/taxo 2013 anti-PD-1 2014/15 Xeloda, IMMU-132, eribulin Aug 2015 Keytruda |

Hi all,
I don't usually post but I felt compelled to do so tonight. I have been actively following Kimberly Clark, as I do all of you, and was just sickened to hear of her passing. I just wanted everyone to know, that on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, we are doing all that we can day in and day out to find a cure for this horrific disease. We are more committed than ever to our investment in research, education, and patient support services. Personally, I am truly motivated to use my talent and resources on behalf of all of you. To Kimberly's family, I offer you my deepest condolences and promise to continue her fight.
With warm blessings and the wish that you will stay lifted,
Malaak.
