I STILL QUESTION WHY, WHY, AND WHY YOU GOT TO GO THIS YOUNG. YOU GOT SO MUCH POTENTIALS AND I MUST SAY YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND I NEVER HAD. YOU VE BEEN REAL,I REMEMBER THE DAY WE WENT TO THE MOVIES, IT WAS DEFINETELY ONE OF A KIND. I WANNA SAY THANKS FOR CONTRIBUTING TO MY LIFE BECAUSE WITHOUT IT I WILL NEVER HAVE THIS WONDERFUL LIFE WITH UR SIS. YOU VE BEEN REALLY GOOD TO ME AND I APRECIATE UR SIS AND IAM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED.ITS BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE AND I REALLY WISH NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND WE ARE ALL BROKEN INTO PIECES BUT I GUESS ITS ALL PART OF GOD LITTLE EXPERIMENTS. AS MUCH AS IAM HURTING AND CRYING INSIDE NO TEAR WILL COME OUT. I WANNA SAY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING AND BEEN THERE AND YOU VE BEEN REAL TO THE WORLD. I MUST ASK WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE, DOES GOD REALLY EXIST, BUT I MUST SAY IT WAS A GREAT HONOR BEEN MY FRIEND. DONT FORGET TO PRAY FOR EVERYONE YOU LEFT BEHIND. REST IN PEACE MAKAYLA AND I PRAY TO THE LORD TO KEEP YOUR SOUL.

I never knew this young woman, but I worked with her Mother and Her Grandfather Tom Foy in High Point, NC. I am so sorry that she was taken away from all of you so young. I know God must have a plan for her that we, here, can not understand. I hope you will find peace somehow and remember her obviously bright personality.

I remember the first time I met you, I classified you as another freshman when you enterd the Upward Bound Program. You were the one that stuck out the most and thats what I liked about you. We enjoyed so many fun times together(The beach over the summer). You were a dear friend to me and you were so loyal. You were always there for me when I needed a laught or just cheering up. You were amazing.
Rest in peace Makayla
You will never be forgotten and you we be forever loved. you made a spot in all of our heart's for you and that spot can never be filled.

In 4th grade, you smacked Angela and Brittney when they were teasing me because of my old clothes. I was very tiny then and have not seen you in years but that moment I knew I had a friend in you who always stood up for the underdog, RIP dear Makayla. Heaven has a special angel now.

(((Makayla’s Loving Family))),
I am so very sorry to read of Makayla’s tragic death. She is such a beautiful and happy young woman. I do not know young Makayla or her family personally, but I do completely understand what it is to loose a beautiful daughter in the prime of her young life. My 11 year old daughter, Danielle Marie was killed in a terrible auto accident on RT. 49 in Sturbridge in Feb of 2006. I was informed of her death at Harrington Memorial Hospital in Southbridge. Life as I once knew it has forever changed and my family, as yours will never be the same. Nothing makes any sense and the physical, emotional and mental pain of grief has no mercy or time-frame.
Please take one breath at a time, find comfort and solace in those who love and care about you and your precious Makayla. May God provide you strength and comfort as you travel upon this terrible journey of Grief.
You are all in my deepest thoughts and prayers.
