A note from Kim's Mom, Pat Daum on 2/24/08:

"Kim loved Bellbrook and being involved in the band. Her ashes are buried in Bellbrook Cemetery and we know that her spirit rejoices when the band is practicing and playing during half time. The band boosters received more than $3,000 from donations made in Kim's honor. Chris Long told me the band was establishing a music library and an award in her honor."
