Although we did not get to meet McKenah more than the one time in the elevator, she has held a special spot in our hearts. We cannot find words that will magically make the pain go away, but can offer you our hand and hearts to help when you cannot hold yourself up. She was a special girl and we want to Thank You for showing human kind that there is nothing more important than helping one another and giving all the love you can to family, friends, and strangers. Hugs to all of you and hope to see you soon. With Love, The Wells Family
