There are a million things I could say about Kenzie Droubay. I am blessed to know her and am so thankful to have her as my cousin. I know we will be best friends forever, and that we're always here for each other. Linder & Winder

Kenzie gives up anything she wants at the moment for herself, and puts others first. She doesn't worry about how something will effect her, she instead worries about always being there for someone. She cares about Austin, Connor, Jared, and her parents as well as her friends. Even if she has an argument with her mom, I know she respects and loves her always. She also has this amazing caring relationship with her dad. He cares about her, and she cares so much for him. She's always worried about him, and caring about him. Most of all, she cares about me. Even though I have bitten her, been rude, ignored, and thought of her below me in the past, she still loves me. She has overcome anytime in our past where we weren't close and forgiven me. She always texts me, writes me letters, shares her stories with me and accompanies me to the temple. She is one of the most caring people I know, and i love her.

I'm proud of you kenz, you have dealt with relationships much more complicated than a simple romantic interest. You care for people who genuinely need you, and you want to help them. You're an amazing person, so don't settle for less. You don't need Ryan. You're perfect on your own.

It's the little things too. Her temple attendance and dedication is admirable. I love going to the temple with her. She has a very strong testimony of the gospel despite her dad not often going, or a "forced" church attendance like I have grown up with. She takes the time to appreciate and pass on meaningful and helpful quotes. She knows what she wants, and tries her very hardest to achieve it. Basketball is lucky to have a player like you.

"Linds, i love your cousin, she's the cutest, nicest girl." - Alyse Morgan

Don't waste your time with people who don't realize how amazing you are. Keep up what you're doing. You have been strong for so long, it's who you are. Never stop running even when you're about to pass out running up that hill. Just make it to the top, and everything will be okay. 

In your honor.
