Although her life was cut short, Kenny made an extraordinary impact to those who were lucky enough to be in her presence.

Without saying a single word, Kendall had the power to encourage, bring joy and show so much strength. She was the girl who knew everyone’s secrets and would never tell a soul.

She was constantly reminding us to make rainbows in the rain, love more, smile more and thank God more.

Kendall was a remarkable daughter, phenomenal sister, courageous friend and an outstanding young woman.
