This obituary was originally published in the Decatur Daily.
Kym and I were pledge sisters together at Bama. On a whim I decided to look up her name to get back in touch and I was shocked to learn of her passing. I helped at her wedding reception when I lived in Decatur. I am so sorry to here of her passing. Kym was one of the most outgoing individuals that I have ever met in my life. Age has a way of bring us on to the same level. Thoughts and prayers go out to both families.

Over all these years my thoughts and the memories of Kym’s and my rollercoaster-ride friendship have remained on my mind's surface, always leaving me with a big smile and often a giggle. Kym was an extraordinary gift in my life, befriending me with her gut-busting wit one...
