What a heartfelt and beautiful service for Kim - my apologies for not being able to attend personally- To Terry and the family my most sincere sympathy to you all I like many others from New Plymouth knew Kim through the sport of soccer and the Old Boys club I do fondly remember those Saturday night disco social events with the Bee Gees music playing and Kim and I and many others all dancing in step with each other on the dance floor We all know how much she loved those BeeGees and dancing I feel so sad that Kim has left her friends and her family so soon Kim had a wonderful warm and friendly nature and she so enjoyed socialising with her friends May you rest in peace now Kim John Burmester

You were such a huge part of our upbringing, Kim. Always bringing so much love and laughs to our lives. Whether you were singing Rod Stewart at the top of your lungs or letting a fart loose at the bottom of your lungs, you always kept us laughing. Whenever we'd leave our holiday at the Edwards' you'd always rally the kids together and gather in front of your house at 9 Ronald Street, waving as our car left your vision. This is the energy and effort you always brought to all of your family and friends and we couldn't wait to come back and see you and the family again. You're such a bright shining light in all of our lives still to this day. No matter whether you're on this planet or further on, you're light is too bright to ever dim. You'll be forever missed Kim. We love you so much <3 We know you're still waving from the bottom of the street. El Bel. x

Beautiful Kim, you will be remembered for your fun-loving personality, your loyalty and love for Terry, your family and that memorable football playing ‘skill’ from way back in the 70s! Being the opposition/rivals was daunting when Kim was playing but the ‘after-match’ function with Kim coming over with a huge smile and a glass of Marque Vue in her hand - priceless.
