Remembering Kim . . . Heading out to leave two rocks in memory of Kim Raines in Oamaru on Sunday are (from left) Lisa and Annabelle (3) Wilson, Anna Scarlett and Holly McCone.
She carries the rocks with her up mountains and leaves them at the summit for others to find.
“You are loved” reads one rock, hand-painted blue, with two daisies on it. The other side has a message of hope and the phone number for Lifeline.
When Kim Raines (nee Pryor) took her own life in August, Anna Scarlett started painting rocks with tributes to her friend, leaving them around as a means to work through her own grief, while also hoping she might lift others out of their moments of darkness.
