It has never been the same without you for all these 16 years!
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Kimberly Sue ( Olson)Wondrash, born on September 8, and passed away on November 3, 2007. We will remember her forever.
Kim you are never out of my thoughts, always in my heart. I still wait for you to walk thru the door and head for the refrigerator as you always did . You were so full of life, loved everybody & would do anything for anybody.
I loved stopping at your house in the summer & watching you work in the yard . That yard was your passion in landscaping. You would be so tan from working out there & yes those freckles would come out even more but I always told you they were love spots from God.
After sitting in the car with me for awhile , you would give me a big hug & tell me how you loved me. Then with that great smile ,you would go happily back to your yard work.
You were my rock, Kim. Without you nothing has been the same.. I love you!!!!!
So miss you...
Always,
Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THIS SEPTEMBER 8 th 2023. ❤️
I am just miserable.
It’s May 20th 2023. I didn’t wish you a Happy Mothers Day. I’m sorry I missed that.
Things get a little hectic for me on days. Most days actually. I don’t see anyone very much. Hardly at all. It gets to me in this Senior apartment. I don’t like it at all & I have struggled through 12 years of living here.
I really don’t know I have made it here that long but I just kept getting older & now I am too old & not feeling well so I can’t go anywhere else. . Don’t have the energy to do so.
I miss you every day. I don’t think anyone realizes how I struggle without you.
It isn’t a family anymore.
Your granddaughters are awfully cute.
Parker is 3 now. Blake will be 5 in August.
I don’t see Randi or the girls much anymore.
I babysit now & then!!
I didn’t see Heather when she was here in February this year. I was sick. I guess she will be back in September.
Another winter is going to be hard on me. I don’t think I will get through this one.
The last 2 winters have been too hard on me. .it’s another weekend & I never do anything.
I sit here not wanting to go anywhere & yet I hate it here.
I love you. I miss you. I wish you were here.
I know things would be better.
I keep you in my heart always & some days I just cry without you. Many days !
I dream of you so much.
Know I love & miss you so much!!.
Always until I see you again. Perhaps soon by all I go thru!
Love always
Mom
I love you so much. Sending all my love to you!!
Always
Mom.
I miss you & love you so much.
Always your Mom!!
I think of you every day. I dream of you.
I can still picture you on the day you went on your road trip. I wish I could’ve gone with you.
I love you Kim.
Always,
Mom
Christmas 2021 is almost here. 3 more days. There won’t be Christmas again as hasn’t been for years. I miss those times & I miss you.
With the Covid virus last year 2020 it was a bad year with being scary of getting that Virus..Now again. this year another has popped up. I got my booster shot today. I had the first two vaccines in March & April. but still wore masks. Holidays aren’t like they use to be. It’s sad.
I always stay home & wish you were here. I don’t see anyone much at all . I get lonely here in this apartment. Just my cat Boo & me. Thea was Boos mama. You were such an animal lover.
I don’t see the kids much. Your grandchildren Blake & Parker are getting so big... Cute little girls.
I sure love them.
Kerry & Gina are going to be grandparents again..
Melissa is having another one..
I have been in touch with Kevin & happy about that.... Kevin & Kristine are going to be great grandparents. I never thought I would be here to be a great great grandparent..
I understand your dad is doing fine now at 82. In February he will be 83 & I am heading for 80. Can’t believe it. Time has really flown.
I wish you a Heavenly Christmas Kim. I love & miss you so much. It still isn’t easy without you here. You are my Angel.
Love Mom ❤️
It was a hard day again for me with another year gone without you. 14 years but it always seems like yesterday. I find it hard to believe how the years have passed. I miss you every day & you are always on my mind. You meant everything to me.
I was so happy when you were born. I still look at your baby pictures & growing up so fast.
I look at Randi & I see you. She looks like you.
Randi is such a good mother to your two granddaughters Blake & Parker. She thinks of you so much wishing you could be here for the little girls. They are such sweet little ones. Blake is 3 now & Parker is one. Randi & Kenny with the girls are a great family.
Heather & Oscar have been married 6 years now.
They live in California & very very happy. Oscar is from Mexico where Heather met him on a vacation to Puerta Vallarta in 2013. They married there & moved to California in 2015. Oscar is such a nice guy. Today he became a U. S Citizen.
I am so happy about that.
I love you Kim. I miss you so much.
Mom
I had a dream about you. About your laugh. In the dream I was excited that you were still with us. But than you said no Nita "I am with you in your dream only". Oh how I cried in the dream. I will always love you my best friend forever. ❤️
You have a great family with Randi & her family. Your little granddaughters are the love of my life. They make me so happy. I wish I had more time to watch them grow up. Blake is 3 now and Parker is one. So adorable. You would want to be by them all the time. You would be a wonderful grandmother to them.
Heather is in California with her husband Oscar. They are very happy. Heather was here in July this year. Blake and Parker loved their Auntie Heather.
I miss you so much Kim. I wish we could turn back the clock & that fateful night would never have happened.
Happy Birthday sweetie. I hope you see us down here & know how much you are loved and missed. I have you close in my heart.
Always Mom
I believe I am getting closer to being with you as tomorrow is my birthday & I haven’t been well for quite sometime. The years have passed so quickly.
You always told me you never wanted to live to be old. It hasn’t been much of a life for me with getting old & without you it has been painful.
Tomorrow I turn 79 years old & I really don’t know how I have made it this far.
I don’t know how much longer I will hang on. I have been doing it for the kids.
Your granddaughters Blake & Parker are so adorable. I love them with all my heart.
Parker was one year old on May 11th & Blake will be three years old on August 11th of this year.
I miss you so much Kim.
I love you.
Always in my heart.
Mom
It’s going to be Spring soon... That will be so nice after a hard winter..
I have had dreams of you. They were so real. It was like you were right here talking to me. It was a really nice dream.
I think of you always. I love & miss you so much.
Randi & Heather are doing well.
The babies , your grandchildren Blake & Parker are so adorable. Getting so big. Blake will be 3 in August . Parker will be 10 months tomorrow March 11 th ,2021. You would love them so much.
I love being with them. They make me happy.
They will know you are their grandmother in time.
I love you Kim. ❤️
I AM GOING TO BE HOME ALL DAY .
I BOUGHT A DVD PLAYER WITH THE SCREEN SO I CAN PLAY YOUR DVD & WATCH IT AGAIN LIKE I ALWAYS DO. MY OTHER ONE WOULDNT CHARGE ANYMORE.
THIS NEW ONE IS SO DIFFERENT SO I HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT. ALL THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS BEYOND ME. I AM NOT ANY-GOOD AT HOW THINGS ARE NOW.
I KNOW YOU WOULD FIGURE IT OUT THO.
I SAW RANDI & FAMILY CHRISTMAS EVE DAY.
THE LITTLE GIRLS , YOUR GRANDDAUGHTERS, BLAKE & PARKER ARE SO CUTE.. I SURE LOVE THEM.
ITS STILL SO HARD WITHOUT YOU KIM.
I SEND ALL MY LOVE TO YOU ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY. I MISS YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY.

MOM
I am going by Randi’s Christmas Eve. I hope Blake & Parker will enjoy my presents I have for them.
Both the little girls are getting so big. Time is really going fast. Blake is a little over 2 & Parker is 7 months old now.
I will have you on my mind this Christmas as I always do & every day.
Heavenly Christmas Kim.
I miss you so very much.
I love you
Always Mom.
Today is December 8, 2020 and thinking a lot about you. Christmas is coming and I know how you loved Christmas. I miss our Christmas we all had at the house. It hasn’t been the same anymore. I live in this apartment for 9 & 1/2 years already. It was a big change for me.
Your granddaughters Blake & Parker are getting so big . They are so cute. Blake is 2 now & Parker is 6 months. I love them so much.
You would be so happy .
I miss you all the time Kim. .
You are always on my mind. I dream about you.
I have felt lost without you everyday since you passed away.I feel if I had been with you on your road trip I could have seen that semi & helped stop it from the accident.
I love you with all my heart.
Always ,
Mom

My life has never been the same.

Randi & Kenny have been married 2 & 1/2 years.
You have the most beautiful grandchildren. Blake is 2 years old now & Parker is 5 months. They are so precious. I know how much you would love them.
I know you would want to be around them all the time.
They are such a joy to me. I am so happy being around them . Both of the girls are such happy little ones.
I show Blake your picture & tell her you are her grandma.
On this election day for president I had you on my mind as I voted .
I miss you so much Kim.
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
Heather & Randi are doing really good. You would be proud.
I love you Kim.
Always , Mom
I sure wish you were here to see your precious 2 granddaughters.. Randi has Blake who just turned 2 on August 11 th. She is so adorable. Baby Parker was 3 months old also on August 11th. She is such a happy baby & beautiful.

I am so lucky to have a greatgranddaughter like this little munchkin.
I love her so much.
In May you will be grandma again. Blake will have a little sister or brother.
Randi & Kenny are such great parents. I am proud of what a great mother Randi is.
You would be too & with Heather out in California with her husband Oscar. They are so happy & doing so good in California.
They have been here for Christmas & Heather came for a week when Blake was born . She was born August 11. 2019. Heather came that September.
Now the new baby is due in May of 2020.
Maybe it will be a boy this time.
By the way Melissa was married July 5th, 2019. She has a really nice husband in Michael. It was a lovely wedding.
I love you Kim.
Always,
Mom
I have just seen a message from Anita which was your good friend from so many years ago. She has a phone number for me to call her so I will do that.
She had been thinking of you for so long & then I found her she said & told her about what happened.
She has missed you.
I miss you so very much. I wish life was like when you were here. It isn't very easy. The family sort of all went their own way. I don't see them hardly at all.
Soon it will be 12 years since you were taken from us. It just doesnt seem possible. It still.seems like yesterday Kim.
I think of you always.
I dream of you.
I love you. I don't know if there is a heaven or not but I hope I will see you in not too long. Your mom here is getting up there babe. I know you always said you didn't want to grow old.
I have made it a long ways which I never thought I would but I hope I will see you again in not too long.
All my love,
Mom
I am going to say goodnight now. I had to write to you again.
Loving and missing you always. It gets hard a lot of times.
I am ok I guess. Just never been the same without you .
Goodnight Kim.
Love Always,
Mom
Love to you, Kim.
Always Mom...
Always with me,
Love Mom............
Love Mom
Always, Mom
It's joyce Kim's friend from over 35 years ago! She was my best friend was always nice to me i had such a lousy family as far as up bringing. And you and her always made me feel special. I rememember going with her to the movies to see sergeant peppers Lonley hearts club band. We hid in the theater to wAtch it again. We were both in love with Peter Frampton. And we had white overhaul jeans to prove it. I was kind of a goof but she always made me feel special. We spent lots of nights in your basement watching Kevin play mick jagger Rolling Stones. My fondest memories. Are with Kim Kerry Kevin and her family. (Oh yes and ann borchard) Cracking her knuckles.
The oddest thing is I was just thinking about her today and googled her. I could not believe what I saw. 7 years today. So young !! We were born the same year I was hoping to make contact with her I would love to talk to you. PleaSe call me. You will never know what an impact Kim and your family made in my life at such a young age.

Thank you Kim for being such a good friend when I needed you the most no one else was there. Luv you !!
You and your baby, Sonny , together always... You were loved by so many people whether they knew you personally or not. It was your caring & giving personality. You were my angel then & you are now. I know you are watching over all of us. I love you, Kim....

Merry Christmas Kim 12/25/2023
Thinking of you 12/2/2023
I haven’t written since your birthday . I was sick for quite sometime. I didn’t think I would ever get better. It was over two months and I still don’t have my voice back yet from all the terrible coughing I did. It was so awful. I was at Urgent care twice , then I went to the hospital per ambulance on October 6 th . Your brothers birthday. I didn’t want to go in the ambulance but I had no choice. I was able to come back home after some hours of breathing treatments & meds.
I didn’t have a ride home so the hospital paid for my ride home with the Lift driver. I didn’t have Thanksgiving this year. I just was home. It’s not a good feeling to be alone on holidays. Very lonely.
Heather was at Randi’s around Halloween but I didn’t see her.
Your granddaughters Blake and Parker are really getting big. Blake is in kindergarten now and likes school. Parker will go to preschool this coming new year. She was here with me on Wednesday while Randi went on a field trip with Blake for school. It was a field trip to the zoo.
Parker said she wants to go to school too.
We had fun here . I enjoyed her here. I fixed her eggs & she ate two of them. The girls are really cute. I know you would want to be by them all the time. I don’t see them like I use to. I miss them.
I don’t hear from Kerry & Gina or the rest . Kevin I did but he is off & on. The rest I haven’t seen for a long time. I guess that’s the way they want it so I just leave it alone. I don’t think they realize I am
still around. They have become strangers to me anyway.
i see Juanita on Fb now & then. That’s really nice.
I think of you all the time Kim. I still can’t believe you aren’t coming home. Randi looks just like you. If you were here I know everything would be so much better. I am not doing well at all. I am in kidney failure and my legs and back are so painful. It hurts to walk. I guess my whole body is in my pain now. Gets worse every day.
kerry is also in kidney failure. I feel really bad about him being in kidney failure. I know it bothers him as it does me. . Always wondering when it will go higher and totally fail.
It’s been 16 years you’ve been gone Kim but to me it seems like yesterday. I can’t believe it’s been 16 years. My life was destroyed when you weren’t coming home. I wish I could’ve seen you like the rest went up to EauClaire to see you at the funeral home but they never told me they were going.. I found out they were up there some time later. I was very hurt that they didn’t tell me & I couldn’t see you. I don’t know why they did that to me.
I went to the store today & got a few things. It was cold out.
I sure miss you Kim. I love you & you are always with me. I wish I could take a magic wand & bring you back home. My life was forever changed when you were taken. It’s never been the same without you!! I find pennies all the time & I look up and tell you thank you and I love you!!
They appear a lot where I get out of my car & walk towards the store or go back to my car!
I love you Kim.
Always my daughter and I am always your Mom!
Kimberly
It doesn’t seem possible that Blake is in Kindergarten already. She loved preschool but is having a little hard time adjusting to going in another class. She will be ok though.
The girls are so darn cute. Very smart too. I love them coming here which doesn’t happen very often. Heather was coming on Wednesday but she hurt her back again so she will be here in October. Her & Oscar love living in California.
Heather loves her job in Huntington Beach. They moved to Huntington Beach which is close to her work.
I don’t do much of anything except doctors & lab.
I have a hard time with my back and legs but I still go to the stores when I feel like it.
So many people off for vacations this summer .
Not me. I don’t go anywhere. I would love to but I have no place to go.
Kerry & Gina are doing ok I guess. Melissa & her husband built a new home & are living in it now.
They have two children. Thela is one years old & Brecken is 2 or 3. I don’t remember as I don’t see them.
kevin and Kristine are still living in Illinois. Kevin is quite the garden grower. Everything he shows looks so nice. I don’t see any of their kids.
I don’t even know where Melissa & her husband live nor have I ever known where Kelly & her husband live. I don’t see any of my great grandchildren. Haven’t for years!!
I know how much you would love Blake and Parker. They are such sweet little girls.
I’ve been in this apartment for over 12 years now & I don’t like it. It’s lonely here.
If you were here everything would be so different. It would be a much closer family .
I miss you Kim so much. The years have passed but it’s hard for me! It still seems like yesterday to me.
I love you Kim!
Always with me
Mom
