There is so much I could say about McKenzee & the amazing way she lived her life to the fullest! Like everyone else who knows her, I truly love her beautiful smile... there never was a time that McKenzee wasn't beaming with a passion for life. She always had a very positive attitude which has greatly influenced my outlook on all things. I love McKenzee & will forever miss, in this life, her fun, happy, determined personality.

My heart goes out to the Davis family. I have known McKenzee since elementary and I don't think that such a sweet, innocent, kind and caring girl exists in the world. She always had a smile on her face and her kindness seemed to spread everywhere she went. What an example of toughness and determination she left for all of us. She has another purpose in another life, but will be with us forever.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Strong

You most likely do not know me, and I did not know your daughter very well . . . but I was truly touched by her daily.

I can honestly say that I loved Mckenzee with all of my heart, I looked up to her, I wanted to be as Christ like as she was.

I pray that your family will be comforted and blessed in your loss, I know that you will see her again.

Jeal, Dennis, Courtnee, and Natalee,

I, like anyone who has known McKenzee, has been touched by an angle. McKenzee had such a light about her. Her smile and laughter would light up a room. I cherish the memories I have with her- Lake Mead and visiting you all in Utah. McKenzee's legacy will live forever. I shared her story with my 7th grade class a couple of months ago because I was so amazed by her courage, strength, and determination. I am so proud of McKenzee and feel at peace with the fact that she was at home with her family when she passed. God bless you all.

Jeal, Dennis, Cortnee, and Natalee:

We would like to extend our sincere sympathy and heartful prayers to each of you at this sacred time. Although I haven't seen each of you for awhile, I remember each of you as extraordinary souls. Dennis is still regarded as a special friend in the Ryder extended family. His special musical talents have pleased many, and we pray that a song of gladness will bless you as you anticipate a future reunion with McKenzee. May God comfort you. --Norman Herem & Family

I send you & your family my deepest sympathy. My only wish is that she went peacefully and was able to enjoy her favorite things over the past year. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Dear Jeal, Dennis, Cortnee & Natalee,

Mckenzee, was our Great Great Niece and only one of many nieces and nephews. But she, like each and every one, had a unique beauty of her very own.

When they came to California, just two months ago, to visit her Uncle, Aunt's and family, we had special time to visit. She especially loved to spend time by the Ocean. The visit was far too brief, but she wanted to come down again.

Even in that brief time, I saw this special child of fifteen, show such courage and strength, that it would challange the strongest of us.

She has not left us to grieve, because she leaves all the wonderful memories of her, locked forever in our heart's.

"We'll see you in the morning, McKenzee"



With all our love,

Aunt Barbara, Aunt June, Uncle Art

and Family

McKenzee is a very special girl and one that will not be forgotten. Her talent for soccer, her willingness to be friends with anyone, her sweet smile and friendly hello. And lets not forget her courage.

Our neighborhood has lost one sweet and amazing friend and yes she will be greatly missed by all ages.
