Dear Keiper Family,

We recently learned about the loss of your Mack. I’m beyond words… She was such a feisty, brilliant ray of sunshine! I regret that we haven’t stayed in touch with your precious family! We wish we could have provided comfort, prayers and housing while you were in Houston. We do know that God is Good ALL THE TIME! Congratulations on Maddie’s engagement. May God Bless you all!

With Love, The Wren Girls - Dena, Mackie & Morgan

We are so very saddened to hear of Mackenzie’s passing. Our hearts are aching for you.

Mackenzie lived a very full life in her short years on earth. You guys did her well!! She was such a cute little spark -never a dull or idle moment when she was around!

She is now on another amazing journey. May Gods presence and peace help to fill your empty void.

Paul, Kim, and Maddie, I am deeply saddened to hear of Mack's passing at such a young age. It is satisfying to read of the rich life she led, her adventures, and caring for others. A life lived well, but too short. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I ran XC, swam, and was in band with Mackenzie at Hellgate, and I still remember how spirited and lively she was. She radiated energy and determination, and it sounds as though that never faded. It breaks my heart to hear that she’s left us, but it might be some comfort to know she is missed even by relative strangers. Love to Maddie and all of Mack’s family.

Mackenzie was looked up to by all. She was a born leader and and inspiration with her selfless nature and brilliant mind. We swam and ran XC together and there are many memories sitting around campfires listening to Anders scary stories. Makenzie was a mother to us all and was always keeping us boys in line. Her smile could make your day and one look could send you running. We all always had a good time together. I'm deeply saddened to hear of her passing, but she is in heaven now and hope we all get to see her again some day. We must celebrate her brilliant life. My heart and prayers go out to you Paul, Kim, and Maddie.

We are so sorry for your loss of Mackenzie. We have such wonderful memories of our times together in Tampa. From tumbling and dance classes, to carpooling to TCS, and many playdates in between. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in the loving arms of Jesus. Much love to each of you.

To the Keiper family:

While Mackenzie and I were not close in high school, we played on the soccer team and were in many classes together (as well as MUN, honors society). She was a fiercely dedicated person in whatever she did. I remember her as hardworking and kind. I was so very sad to come across this news, and admire that Mack pursued her full potential even near the end of her life. How inspiring for us all.

Peace be with you during this time.

I am so filled with awe reading the extraordinary accomplishments and the generosity of spirit she shared with those she touched. I know she leaves heavy hearts! I also know she was so blessed with family and the loving arms that held up these last months. I’m grateful she’s in God’s arms now! Prayers for peace and healing to you all!

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was so young. My wife and I came across the obituary and it broke our heart. Our hearts go out to the Keiper Family. Loosing a loved one in death is never easy and when a life is cut short it makes it more difficult to deal with death. Death is an enemy to us all, taking away our most beloved ones. In John 11:11 death is compared to a peaceful sleep and just like we all awaken from sleeping, Jehovah God will wake Mackenzie up from death. Acts 24:15 Jehovah God offers us the hope of the resurrection. May this hope help you endure until you see Mackenzie again.
