Thank you coach Serna for what you taught me at camp. I will play for OSU and know you will be standing beside me the whole time. My heart goes out to your family. You made such an impact on my life. I will miss that time at camp when it's time to take pictures and get autographs and i always run up to you first. I always think about you when I look at the whistle you gave to me and let me lead the defense drill. I will keep it forever and think of you every time I see it. Love you coach Serna.

Dear Serna Family, I didn't know Miranda personally, but knew of her by watching womens' college basketball. I was very surprised and most proud to learn of her beginnings...Mora/Guadalupita, NM! I am from northern NM and my in-laws live in Guadalupita and am so very proud to know that Miranda had a dream and fullfilled that dream coming from a very small town - you don't have to come from a big or famous city to become a successful person, mentor, coach, you just have to be determined and full of life! And that is exactly what your daughter was. May God bless you and give you strength through this very sad time in your lives. You and your family are in my prayers and know your daughter has inspired many young girls! With Sympathy and Love.

Miranda, I can't believe you are gone, you were a true native New Mexican through and through, you worked hard and deserved everything you got. I still have the e-mail you wrote to me when I got the job here at UNM, and I am glad we hugged and talked when we saw each other on the road this summer. God has taken you too soon but he has a plan for all of us, and I hope I can be the person you were and we can meet up again one day. God Bless You Miranda!

Isaiah 41:10 says "Don't be afraid for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand." Miranda was a great role model to everyone she met and had such a warm smile that could energize a room.
