hey Mr. Stocker
i hope someday i will spread love like she did
My names Tara and i knew mackenzie from alice and wonderland I was an unbirthday Revaler(if thats how it spelled) well the year of alice and wonderland i lost pretty much all of my friends that year. well the day of the last class before studio rehersals my three friends at the dance studio were very mean to me and ditched me which left me on a couch crying and Mackenzie sat right down next to me with a big smile on her face and just started talking. It was the first time all year i felt like someone cared and i stayed friends with her she was my role model and still is. Thank you so much for bringher into this world and raising her like that
I want to thank you because through your writings and Mrs. Stocker’s I was able to learn who Makenzie was. I have been dancing for RAFA for a year, and I always see her picture in the lobby with her pointe shoes. I was too scared to ask what happened to her, until several of my dancemates told me. I am so sorry to what happened to her, yet as a young Christian dancer I know she is dancing with Jesus. Today we honored her at the beginning and during intermission at our dress rehearsal. I just want to let you know that although I didn’t have the blessing to met Makenzie, her love and spirit was with all of us. Take care and God bless.
