So sorry for your loss. Thoughts, hugs and prayers to all of you.
McKenzie and I had such a competitive friendship growing up. We both loved to go 1 on 1 in basketball. She’s missed. I’m so sorry to the whole family for your loss. She was a good friend and I have so many good memories flashing back to me. R.I.P. Kenz. ❤
Carmen, Danielle, Shantielle and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet friend to Dillon. They have so many good memories. McKenzie will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
My thoughts and prayers to her friends and family. Always loved her fun loving personality. Watching her play sports in Jr High and her spending the night with my daughter and the girls when they were younger are great memories as she would have everyone laughing the whole night! Prayers.
I had a brief friendship with Kenzie but so happy I met her and I wish I could have done more but I lived in Sabetha and she lived in Topeka at the time I actually saw her by chance at a Topeka gas station because my sister lives in Topeka. So happy I recognized her and said hello! She was such a sweet and intelligent person that I only knew for a week and then randomly seeing her after a year from meeting her. I want to extend my sincerest condolences to family and friends that had a longer friendship with her, so sorry for your loss and I pray God comforts you all and may he had his upmost mercy on her soul. 🙏🏼❤️
