A parade of pink balloons adorned several mailboxes, dancing freely in the sky – a testament to five-year-old Savannah, as mum Bryana Kemp said on the GoFundMe page, “She never walked anywhere, she danced or skipped”.

Savannah’s funeral was held on Friday, November 3, with those attending asked to come dressed in pink, and children asked to bring their fairy wings, tiara or favourite princess dress.

The Greater Shepparton community has paid tribute to the young angel with an outpouring of condolences on social media from friends of the family and those who knew Savannah through daycare, kindergarten, dance class and school.

“She was confident, capable of anything and a social butterfly who loved everything sparkly and pretty,” Kialla Children’s Centre co-ordinator Nicole Short said.

Online, a GoFundMe and Meal Train has been set up by friends of the Kemp family shortly after the fatal three-vehicle crash in Shepparton East on October 20.

The GoFundMe page has raised more than $48,000 as of 4pm Friday, November 3.
