Randy Fleming says
MacKenzie Rae was taken from us and placed in heaven so that she would not feel any pain. I believe that she was taken for a reason that only God will ever know. Possibly to save us and MacKenzie from pain later in life…however painful this will be for us…it was for a reason…Myself, Karlee, Taylor,Felicia, and all the family that got to spend the short time that she was here have a lifetime of memories. EVERYONE of us love you and will miss you. Remember that you brought great happiness every second you was with us from the day you was conceived out of love thru the day you were taken from us. My Guardian Angel please watch over all of us until we meet again…spread your wings and fly…fly…fly…I love you…
