In lieu of flowers, it was Kimberly's wish that memorial donations be made to Becky Burgmeier at Burgie's Berry Farm. Becky (& Mike) Burgmeier supported Kimberly in hosting her in their Wisconsin home/wellness center and giving her countless ozone treatments at zero cost throughout her cancer journey. It was Kimberly's hope to pass on and perpetuate the blessing to others that also find themselves in need of treatment. Memorial donations may be made through the following means: burgiesberryfarm.com or VENMO @Rebecca-Burgmeier-1
