I will never forget the years of my Dad rooting Mikenzie and the OC team on in hoops. Heard Mikenzie made varsity as a frosh!!! Not easy to do!! Then hearing those wonderful stories of her yesterday and her work ethic and love for kids blew me away because she did it ' till she couldnt' !! Her strength and perseverance was unmatched. Such an inspiration to me and I pray for all her family and will continue as I know how amazing and wonderful her family is and how proud they are of the work and lives Mikenzie touched and also was so impressed with the strength and courage of her wonderful kids who brought comfort to everyone with their outpouring of love. I can only imagine how many others feel hopeful from Mikenzies life even when it's hard!! God Bless
