TekDiveGirl / Kimber Hawkens Thurman

I had the privilege of meeting Kimber out in California, then hosting her for a week when she flew out to Florida for a visit. Despite the challenges she faced, she was not one to be overcome by them. She did not allow her disability to define her, she met life head on and conquered each obstacle she faced.

I live in awe of all she has accomplished. And know that our angel in pink wings lived more each day then I can ever hope to achieve.

I'm sorry for your loss. I never met Kimber personally but have followed her on threads since rec.scuba days. Her determination at overcoming the odds was truly inspirational

It is amazing how one person can bring so many different people together.

One of her professors is working towards Kimber graduating with her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology next month on the 17th
He said that Kimber has already earned her Degree and that ... " the Dean has told me that we are getting a care team together to talk with students and faculty."
And the professor said that Kimber was a member for the last two years of the Faculty Mentoring Program and will already be graduating from that program next month on the 3rd.

It's just like her to be mentoring others
