Makayla is such a talented girl. I loved getting to know her and her mom. Here are some of the things her family and friends said about her.
"I never want to lose the relationship between us! We have moments when we but heads and I have to be the parent, but I consider her a best friend. I'm so lucky to have her in my life. She teaches me how to be loyal, kind, and spend quiet moments reflecting on life. I forget to slow down. Never stop being ambitious!" — Mom
"Makayla is genuinely kind and a friend to everyone. She is also a bit shy but she will stand up for others and will volunteer to help when she recognizes a need. In my classroom, she took a new student who had been homeschooled under her wing and helped her navigate all of the new experiences of a public elementary school. At the same time she made other friends and what stands out to me is that she balanced those friendships to ensure she included everyone." — Tania Falcon, sixth grade teacher
"I feel she has part of me in her, I know that I have made an impact on how she looks and enjoys every day, and finds the good in others, and makes lemons into lemonade. — Grandma Hamilton
"Makayla is so creative. Her beautiful and creative artwork always amazes me. Makayla loves to dance. She is passionate about her dancing and holds herself to the highest standards. I love watching her dance. One of my favorite things about my daughter is her kindness. She has the kindest heart. I love seeing her kindness in action with children and animals." — Mom
"I love that Makayla told her school counselor that she wants to be an anesthesiologist when she grows up. He was really shocked because most 8th graders most likely say they have no clue! (No disrespect to others intended.) Even if she doesn't grow up to be an anesthesiologist, I'm proud of her hard work at school and forethought about the future." — Mom
"Makayla has always been so kind to others. She is very quiet, but it makes her more fun when you get to know her. She keeps us laughing." —Grandpa Bob Hamilton
"Makayla is very talented in art. She has a creative spirit which balances her academic side. She is very bright. Her sarcastic side helps her stay balanced also." — Grandpa Pitas
"Makayla is one of the kindest people I know. She has an old soul. I love watching how she has grown up. She is so talented." — Grandma Dickson
"Makayla is such a wonderful big sister. An example of her kindness. One of my favorite things is when she tells her seven year old brother that he hadn't hugged her today. He gets a big grin and comes and hugs her. I don't think she realizes how much she impacts his day. He really looks up to her." — Mom
"Makayla always laughs at my silly jokes. I don't just have a daughter, I have a best friend. I appreciate it when she asks me to do things with her. I love when she asks to go for a neighborhood ride to see holiday decor or flower blooms. She knows it will make me happy. We call it "wreath" hunting as an inside joke." — Mom
"Makayla is always the person I go to and talk about stuff when I need someone. She is a good listener. She cares a lot about her friends and family." — Nadalynn, sister
