McKenna Renee Smith

McKenna, It’s hard to believe that three years has nearly gone by. 18 tomorrow. I thought I’d be helping you with homecoming, prom, a car, planning a graduation, spending time watching you enjoy your Senior year. Instead I am sitting here only dreaming & thinking of these things. I send this message to remind myself & all of us that you are deeply missed. Your laugh, your strength, your sense of humor, your beautiful smile. Every day, every day I think of you, I miss you, I watch your mother love you & miss you 24/7. Life is simply changed & never going to be the same for any of us. I just wanted you to know that I think of you, I see my cardinals every day, I miss you & I love you. Every day, always, I remember you, hold you in my heart & share my thoughts & memories of your life. Your life was deeply reaching to all of us & we will never be the same. I’ll carry you in my heart & mind for the rest of my life, always. Happy birthday dear sweet McKenna, love Jen

Today is moms birthday I know all she wants is to spend her birthday with you it’s what we all want but god had other plans for us I wish I could do more for her and make her happy but ever sense you left us it’s impossible to be happy When god brought you home I was worried emmitt would forget but I was worried for nothing when he sees your picture he knows exactly who you are The hole in my heart just gets bigger and bigger on special days like today I wish you were here To love to live and to laugh with us again it’s ok though I see you I see you in everything I do Please just let mom know your there with her today we love you more than life itself

My deepest and sincere condolences to.........Kim, Kayla, Mike, Kaitlyn and your family, on your loss. No matter how much time you had with her, she made you feel better about yourself and life. She truly was wonderful.

Sending love and prayers to the family… We had a lot of good times when you were over with Mike and Kaitlyn. We will cherish those precious memories. Until we meet again in Heaven Love Randy and Kim

Sending all my love and prayers out to Kenna’s family and closest friends. I cant imagine what you all are going through at this time. She was such a beautiful soul and knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face. I’ll always and forever cherish the memories we’ve all had with her. We lost a good one way too soon. Rest in peace McKenna, we love and miss you so much. Forever in our hearts.

I met Kenna in gym and she was the light of my day. She always made us laugh and she was so funny. She was one of the kindest girls I have ever met. I miss her dearly.

Sending my sincere condolences to the family. Mckenna was a very sweet girl. She was a great friend to my daughter Saniya. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I did not know Kenna long, but our memories will impact me forever. We became friends on the first day of school, when she realized we had multiple classes together. She came up to me and asked to be friends, and we were always together ever since. I will not forget her smile, voice, and laugh. Not a day will go by where I won’t think of her and her beautiful soul. She was taken way too soon, she had so much life ahead of her. I love you Kenna Girl.

Forever in our hearts. Rest in peace beautiful girl.

So very sorry for you and your families loss.

Our hearts go out to the entire family. We are very sorry for the loss of such a beautiful soul.

I am so sorry to learn of McKenna's passing. She had a beautiful soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Kim I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. My heart breaks for you. Condolences to your family

I’m so sorry for your loss. Although McKenna and I weren’t close for the past few years (due to a change in schools), I knew her personally my 8th grade year. I would talk to her every morning and she sat next to me during Art Class for a full semester. She was a bright girl with a great future. She would make lots of people smile and was always so fun to be around. I will forever remember our inside joke. I believe I still have some of the papers from it. Although I haven’t been able to know her very long, she was an amazing girl. My condolences go out to all family and friends. I know it’s hard. I promise she will be watching over each and every single one of you though. We, her friends are here for you all.

Kim, Kayla, Michael & Kaitlyn - I am so heartbroken for all of you. Getting to spend time with McKenna as a child was very special to all of us, and I'm sure she was growing up to be an amazing young lady. She was too young to pass, and it won't ever make any sense. My thoughts are with all of you at this time.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
