Kym Killian Burial & Memorial Fund

Donation protected
My daughter Kym Killian, passed away suddenly at her home in Melbourne Australia on July 16, 2016.  Although Kym loved living in Australia, all of her family is in the US (except for her son Anthony), and we would like to bring her back to the US for her memorial.  However the costs are huge.  I still have only approximations from the American Consulate in Australia, but it looks like costs will be around $10,000 for cremation, funeral director fees,  transport costs and the cost of a memorial.

Kym was my firstborn child.  Kym was beautiful, tall,  incredibly fun, loved engaging with people, and had such a generous nature.   As a young child her favorite person in the world was her Grandma, and her favorite thing to do was 'Go'....anywhere, anytime, and with any friend.  She meant the world to me, and I will not be able to achieve closure until I can bury her. 

We wish to float her ashes down the White Salmon River near the property where she grew up.  It was where Kym rode her pony Star and would play with her dogs. Later she and her sister Amy rode horses together, creating mayhem as they went. ;-) ANY help towards our goal is greatly appreciated.  

P.S.  the Australians have used some other spellings of Kym's name, such as Kimberly and Killion.
