12 | 12 | | aunts, uncles, and cousins; and |
---|
13 | 13 | | WHEREAS, Makenna radiated love and kindness toward |
---|

---|
16 | 16 | | sunny smile that brightened the world around her; her affinity |

---|
19 | 19 | | going to school, and spending time with her family; she never |
---|
20 | 20 | | hesitated to help out when asked, and she had a habit of writing |
---|
21 | 21 | | notes and leaving them in hidden places for her family members to |
---|
22 | 22 | | find; and |
---|
23 | 23 | | WHEREAS, While her journey on this earth ended far too |
---|
24 | 24 | | soon, Makenna touched the lives of many people during the time |
---|
25 | 25 | | she shared with them, and those who were fortunate enough to know |
---|
26 | 26 | | her will forever keep her memory alive in their hearts; now, |
---|
27 | 27 | | therefore, be it |
---|
