Words fail us in times like these. But, God does not! We were surprised by MacKenzie's tragic Home-going, but God was not. He was right there to welcome her Home. Oh, what a moment!
We pray you'll feel His love and strength as you awake every morning and walk through each day.. And, when you lie down at night may you rest in knowing the God who is holding MacKenzie, is holding you guys too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dearest Carswell family and friends,
Our hearts are hurting for you. May your period of grieving go well and that our Lord wraps all of you in his arms. One day we will all be joined together again.
As a tennis coach I enjoyed the opportunity to work with both girls in the past. They were easy to work with because of their personalities and strong work ethic.

Dear Michelle and family, Words cannot express the pain that I know all of you are going through. Mackenzie was a beautiful young lady, much like you at that age. We do know that she is in Heaven singing along with all the other angels. I pray that God will be with all of you during this day and in the days ahead as I know you are probably still numb from all that has taken place. Know you and your family are in mine and John's prayers and prayers will be continued to be sent to your family Love, John and Kathy Franklin Hofman

I am so sorry for your great loss of your beautiful daughter and sister. May you have a special grace from God to comfort you during your temporary separation. "There is a Hello after Goodbye" is a song that reminds us of this by Legacy Five. When I was 12 my 21 year old sister also had a weather related accident that instantly took her from us. Praying for you many times.

She was so proud & adored them. I am so sorry for this tragedy you are all suffering thru. I pray you find God's peace & healing.

To the Carswell family,
I did not have the honor of knowing your daughter/sister/grandchild. I'm sure she was a special young lady. Please know I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God needed another angel on His softball team and chose your beloved daughter/sister/grandchild. May you find peace and comfort from knowing she touched the lives of those around.
My deepest sympathies,

Words cannot express our sympathy for the loss of your sweet daughter. I will never forget teaching your girls in missionettes and primary at church and how much fun I had with them. I will always remember her sweet face when we did puppet shows together. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Only few can understand the grief you are experiencing. I do not know what it is like to loose my child but I do know what it's like to loose a sibling unexpectedly. If I can help Meleah in any way I am here to talk anytime. Praying for you all!

My deepest condolences to her family and friends. I too have lost a child so I understand what you all will be going through. The what ifs, the why, the grief and sadness. Just take one day, sometimes one moment at a time. Keep faith in the Lord that he has a plan for you all that may or may not be revealed to you. I will be praying for your family.

Michelle, I happened to be doing my skills at hospice on Friday morning. I witnessed your family that extends far beyond your immediate family. That includes all of your Burke Hospice coworkers who cried along with you that morning. There were tears and more tears and beautiful stories of your even more beautiful family. You have a circle of support that I promise is so much larger than you imagine. That circle will hold your family up in the upcoming seconds, moments, weeks, months and years until you can stand again on your own. My family is so sorry for your loss. Megan Sacchetti
