My favorite Halloween was spent with you and Garth. I think it was 5th grade. Your mom made cocktail weiners before we headed out and I thought they were the best thing in the world. I loved Joe, Betty, Garth, but not as much as I loved you. You were an awesome friend.

Kendra Koneski was loving and caring person. As her coach, I saw a young women who was tough, competitive, and a person who could overcome anything. She was a captain and still the All Time Rebounding leader in Adelphi University history. She was always kind and respectful, and had the heart of a champion. My heart is heavy to learn of this sad event. Kendra made our world a better place and we are all less because she is no longer here. May she be in peace and no more pain. Rest in peace
