Multimedia Heaven
Welcome to Heaven!
Multimedia Heaven was an idea my mother, Carol Ann Killion, and I came up with many years ago when we were getting into downloading media online, saving thousands of midis to listen to, and exploring a site she found called 'broadcast.com,' all of which have inspired me to create my own media business and internet radio station 26 years ago. Then, recently, I decided to get the domain we had back for the purposes of creating an honorary site for my parents, my father, Dr. Grant Killion, and my sweet mother who passed this year. I envisioned it as a relaxing, lovely place to download media. It was one of the very first sites I created years ago, and I even had celebrities come on my site and download my clips to use in films or just for their own personal enjoyment.
Mom taught at a community college (BRTC) in Arkansas for 33 years and loved every minute of it. She started out teaching "secretarial training," which was a combination of Typing, Shorthand, and accounting, and then evolved into teaching Windows, CIS, and Keyboarding, as the personal computer became ubiquitous in business and moved into our homes.
My mother was a true angel, and Dad even called her that shortly before his death, and we said at his funeral that he had said, "I walked with an angel." So this served as further inspiration for me to resurrect this site.
Mother taught me a lot about computers and technology, and I taught her things, too, such as designing a page from scratch because I had carried her HTML textbook around all of the time until I learned the entire language.
I officially became "a nerd" in the year 2000, as I recall, when I would stay at the school where I taught Middle School until the janitors would sweep around my feet as I tried to finish "just one more webpage" before they closed.
Mom was the first teacher in the Business Ed department at BRTC to introduce online classes to the public and opened the door to innovation and change at her school.
She retired a few years ago and had many good years with my father, Dr. Grant Killion, who passed away in 2025. We went on trips together until they were no longer able to do so. Dad was a wonderful man and also a preacher and school administrator. I even had the privilege of working with him in the same school district for several years before his retirement.
I moved in and took care of them about 8 years ago, and I now live in the house where they lived. It's a really big house without them in it, and I miss them terribly. But the things they both taught me live on, and I know they'd be happy to know I am getting back into my innovative technology and media work and rejuvenating the domain multimediaheaven.com, mostly in honor of the fun times Mom and I had with technology when I was in my learning curve.
Mom and Dad were married for 62 years and were together until almost the end. But I was thankful that Dad didn't have to see Mom go, and she had dementia later in life and did not know when he went, either. God works in mysterious ways and often does things to protect us, even when we can't see it at the time.
I will try to keep these pages updated as often as I can, and I plan to make this a place where "all good files go when they die," so to speak. In other words, you will soon be able to find all sorts of file types and content, such as music loops I or others have created, original poetry and music, MIDI files, PDFs, PPTs, and educational tools for parents and teachers.
We will eventually feature some free media that you can download for free and enjoy and some other creative tracks, videos, loops, and other media that we created ourselves for a small download fee. You may use any of our media in your own productions as long as you do not resell them anywhere, and you create an original work using the media and not just place it online by itself. These are called "orphan files" and no one wants to be an orphan. We maintain full copyright on all of our media, but we are granting users the freedom to use them in the production of their own creations so that we give back a little to the creative community and continue the creative process even after we are gone.
God bless my parents. We'll be together again someday, Mom and Dad. Thank you for being the best parents in the world, and I know you are happy with our Lord in Paradise, awaiting the Final Day.
Love you,
Deborah
