Dearest Kimmy, I love you and hope you are flying with the angels ... you were an amazing part of my life in Sydney when you lived with my dear friend Chenoa... A wonderful friend to me and everyone you met... Jemima (my goddaughter) is so lucky to have had such a wonderful “second” mum in you during her very early years. Gosh we had some wonderful and memorable times, and a few parties, even Chenoas wedding to Fahim... That back yard at marrickville in Sydney held so much joy and love and human connections, despite its humble outlook. That to me is a tribute to Kim, she walked through her life with love. My heartfelt condolences to her immediate family, and Grace the drummer, if you are reading this, I’m a cello player of many years and if you would like to reach out to me, I would love that (I meditate and I swear your mum wants me to say this to you) .. I feel like she popped a few impulses my way to follow up from the other side. it’s a way I could give back what she gave me and that was so much ... Heather Stratfold/heather feather

You were such a loving, caring and beautiful person Kim, I will miss our chats and seeing you when our girls preformed in their band, you were so proud and excited to watch Grace. We became friends from the moment we meet, you were such a strong woman and fought so hard to be in this life for your babies. Sending so much love to your family, always in my heart ♥️
