When we were in sixth grade we had fifth period gym glass together. I was depressed and struggling to make friends. McKenna complimented my hair and invited me to hang out with her and her friends during the class everyday. She was always so kind to everyone.

I never knew McKenna but as a mother I wish for family that they could be celebrating this season with her.
You touched the hearts of so many near and wide and intensified the conversation over bullying.
God Bless your family and friends.

Why? Why are the innocent made to sacrifice their lives? Why all the suffering? Why all the pain?
There are no such things in life as promises. Nothing is certain- except that some get called,some get saved.This girl... will never have to know the grief of those left behind. We should commit her to heaven with a glad heart. For in every seed,there is a promise. That for every death, there is a life. A new beginning.
And when this girl arrives in heaven ,they will say you are complete,for you had the one thing. And that thing is love.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless with His peace, that passeth all understanding.
However Long
However long since the porch sat bare
Empty and silent without you there
Calling to the wind goes the sailing leaf
Crisp with the color of sadness and grief
Flushed with mourning is autumn's copper tint
But oft a memory of you in sunset´s glint
Shining and brilliant each page of your life
A flowing pen wetted with tears and strife
Alas the pen flows no more, but is silent and still
Sitting on the parchment, heedless of its will
And now the porch sits empty and bare
Ever so silent without you there
Oh, ever in springtime with the flowing brook
Illustrating the pages of a remarkable book
Swept away in gaiety without a single care
Oh, happy and free, when you were there
A flood of memories so poignant remains
That of distinction and honour proclaims
Oh, one such as this shall in memory keep
While in dour procession we freely weep
Soon comes winter's cold and bitter chill
As autumn settles under the snow-covered hill
And ever for spring, we longing forbear
Staring at the porch, empty and bare
However long the memories will remain
Filled with the sunshine of springtime´s refrain
Oh, when autumn´s leaves have fallen to the ground
In springtime, they return and anew are found

Beyond sorry for your loss. Keep bringing awareness to this tragic reality of our next generation; perhaps McKenna´s story is similar to some other teenager´s story and a life can be saved. Prayers and condolences

Prayers to your family during this time. My daughter is pictured with your's and this made my heart just break. My daughter was going through a very difficult time & used hockey as an outlet for her emotions. It has gotten her through some very tough times...I pray this brings awareness to more that are struggling. We are thinking about your family

We had the pleasure of knowing McKenna from her time on the Lightning Girls JV squad. And while our time was brief she was always full of personality, making sure her teammates always got a laugh.
Our hearts break, but the people she touched will keep her memory living on forever.

Please know that this is not your fault and that she loved all of us very much. I still remember being apart of student council with her in middle school. She was always so sweet and always smiling. We will never forget her.

McKenna was my Son's friend. She came over for dinner, watched movies, they hung out at together her home, they exchanged birthday and Christmas gifts, they had a blossoming friendship. I loved the way she looked at my Son, she had his back. I knew she cared for him. She had amazing eyelashes that anyone would be envious of and was a genuine, funny, sweet & kind young lady. I've been so heartbroken hearing about her passing. We are truly saddened for her and all her family and friends. To the Brown Family, please accept our sincerest condolences during this difficult time. Life will never be the same without Mckenna, but hopefully her memory will provide you solace. With all of our love, the Hurst/Fernandez family.

I played with Kenna this past season for FL Alliance. Kenna was the brightest soul who always managed to make everyone laugh. She was one of the most selfless people I have ever known, and always looked out for her friends. She was always able to see the funny side of things, putting everyone at ease. She was the epitome of kindness and welcomed everyone with open arms. She will be deeply missed. I love you Kenna. Sending my love and prayers to her family.

My sister Avery and I met McKenna when we moved to Florida from Connecticut in 2017. We then played with her on the Lightning Girls Travel team with Coach Alyssa. McKenna always checked in on me while I was battling physical and mental health issues. She made sure she included everybody all the time. She was the most beautiful, purest, and kindest soul. I am heartbroken and shocked. Praying for the entire Brown family. I know God welcomed this sweet girl with open arms. Rest in heaven Kenna
