I can’t begin to say how sorry I am for your loss of such a beautiful daughter/sister/fiance/friend. I couldn’t have loved her more and was looking forward to she and my nephew, Brandon’s wedding in July. God had different plans. Like I was told once, “God takes the good ones because the other ones need more time to straighten up before they can get into his kingdom!” Godspeed to the Hagen and Atherton family.
My deepest sympathy to the family and sorry for your loss of such a beautiful daughter, God Bless

Reading all the kind words written about her, she seemed so full of life and love. 24 years is way too short to live here on this earth but eternity in heaven.

My Beloved Kenzie Rose.
You are the sweetest flower and nourishing to my soul.
You taught me humility and wisdom beyond understanding.

You danced like graceful ocean waves and sang in a healing delight.
You are Joy from your being and light in your core.
I Love you forever my darling, and like you always. <3
