ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I was fortunate to perform poetry alongside Kym at Yeppoon with Bob in the caravan park what great memories, Kym in her gentle way has been a help to me with a bit of prodding to set me in the right direction, what a great lady to have as a friend.
Our heart felt sympathy to her family and to all of us.

Dave and Elaine.

We invite family and friends to Kym's funeral; to be held this Saturday the 1st of March, commencing at 10am at the East Chapel of the Rockhampton Crematorium.

Kym's wishes were for everyone to dress in happy colours; pink and purple were her favourite.

Treasurer,

My sincere sympathy goes out to all of Kym's family, her ABPA family and friends. Your memories and love for her will bring you comfort, especially over the coming weekend. Best wishes everyone.

So shocked and saddened to learn of the loss of such a beautiful spirit. Thank you for our brief online friendship Kymmie, for your fanastic poetry that will always live on, and for your inspirational courage and humour in the face of all you went through. Sincere condolences to all family and friends - she will be greatly missed.

The words I write of you, many say they are hollow
Like words written on the tidal sands alas they soon will disappear
But my feelings for you is only this, may you rest in peace KYMMIE

Some fine memories Kymmie of early years and your writings and your desire to always improve and that you did.

Enjoyed catching up at the Bundy Muster one year.
