McKenzy (Kenny) is one of the funniest people we know. We can always count on her to lift up the mood of others. She is anyone and everyones cheerleader and her charisma and heart will be greatly missed next year. We have watched McKenzy accomplish many great things and we have no doubt you will accomplish many more!
