I was so very sorry to hear this sad news. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Please take comfort in all of the wonderful memories you have together.

Charles & family,
Jack & I offer our heartfelt sympathy to you in the loss of a beloved daughter.

Dear friends,

While I’ve been in close contact with the Lausch’s throughout Kim’s long fight, Fortners, Scarboroughs and Rineharts – I wanted to send my condolences to you as well as to the Lausch family. Matt’s suffering throughout this struggle has been very upsetting and his ability to always put Kim before himself was evident all throughout their beautiful relationship, marriage, life together, and this battle. I have not seen your suffering through the same close-up lens, but no doubt this has been a very hard time for all of you as well.

Kim touched all of our lives and she made my best friend the happiest man on earth. I send my best wishes to you all through this very personal and sad time. I will be there to help and support Matthew with anything he needs going forwards, and I offer my support and love to you all as well.

יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא

Kim lead a beautiful life and meant so much to Matthew. May she have peace now after a long and tiresome battle, and may we remember all the beautiful memories when we were blessed with her humour, her presence, and her love for life.

Mike

Matt, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Kim was fun, outgoing, and always had a great smile for everyone. May her great smile always be on your heart and in your mind.

You have my heart felt condolence may you find strength and courage in these difficult times.

My heartfelt sympathies to Matt and family, and to Lynn and all of Kim’s family, for your loss. Kim was a delight to work with, and will never be forgotten.

I am deeply saddened by this news. I had the pleasure of going to high school with Kim and playing sports with both her and her sister, Michelle. The Fortner Girls were great teammates and they had the biggest hearts. They were always so positive and so funny. I will forever remember Kim for her big smile and her one of a kind laugh. She was a real individual that had such a strong and selfless energy about her; and after getting to know the rest of the Fortner crew at hockey it was really no wonder… because they were all like that. Such a wonderful family; Lynn, Charlie, Michelle, Allan, Meri, and Matt, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Erin.

Lynn and family, my heart goes out to you all at this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lynn, when you’re ready to come back your work family will be here for you.

Dear Lynn,
My heart breaks thinking about what you and your family are going through at this difficult time. We are so very sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

My sincerest condolences to Matt and Kim’s entire family. I had the pleasure of working with Kim at CIBC in Commerce Court. As a “newbie” she was quick to offer help at every instance (and boy did I need a lot of Kim’s help!), exceptionally honest, and she always had a funny story to share when I was having a bad day. I truly believe she touched everyone’s life that she met! Some of my fondest memories of Kim are from the days leading up to her wedding….she was positively glowing and giddy with excitement to marry her Matt.
Kimmy will be greatly missed.

We’d like to offer our sincere condolences to Matthew, and the Lausch and Fortner families. We’ll be thinking of you; very sorry for your loss.
Nicole and Justin

A vibrant young lady, full of promise, determination & a little piss & vinigar, found her perfect life partner, established herself in her career, blazed a trail for us to follow, all while speading joy, love & laughter everywhere she went. She never faultered. She was true to herself and all those that loved her. She left her little footprints on so many hearts. She was and will always be remebered as a pillar of strength, a bundle of engery, and over flowing with love & laughter.
We will miss you Kimmy.

Amanda Gordon-Southern

Matt and Kim’s Family,

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that they are happy.
Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Thinking of you at this time of loss.
May it make your sorrow
Easier to bear
Knowing there are others
Who understand and care

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel. Kimmy will be missed and remembered .

With heartfelt sympathy
Glen Gomes

One year has passed, and the shock has not left, nor has the amount that she is always missed

2 years later … my dear friend kimmy is still missed alot.

Still thinking about you…. 3 years later. Can’t forget you laugh, your smile.

To the families that have lost such a special young woman… I think of Kimmy all the time and I miss her all the time. The thought of her passing never ceases to bring tears to my eyes. She was such a wonderful co-worker and stunning bride…! She made me laugh a million times and never ceased to amaze me with her awesome attitude and warm heart. We will always love you Kimmy!
