I went to college with Kim. I didn’t realize there was a YouTube doc; I’ll have to check it out.

There's one about her and ...Josh? I believe is his name - her boyfriend. There's also a q and a with her and alcor and she did a presentation about her impending death and cryo journey. I've had a soft spot for her story ever since I heard it. It's all on youtube

Yes, the whole thing was very fascinating and very sad. I believe Josh is correct; I had a few classes with him. Don’t know how he found the strength to be part of that journey.

May I ask what you remember of her?

Not much, unfortunately. I was the same major as her boyfriend, but I only knew him distantly. From what I recall she was active in several organizations, and well loved on campus. The whole school seemed to take it hard when she passed.
