Kendra was a loving mother, and an outstanding wife. All who knew her experienced her kindness and compassion, and were shown her undying support, understanding, and love. Kendra was very creative, in photography, gaming, and truly anything she set her mind to. Kendra lived in many places, worked several jobs, and went through many hardships. However, through it all she pursued her passions making many friends along the way. She was funny, smart, creative, and so much more. 

Many things can be said of Kendra; her life, cut way too short, was full of unconditional love for her family and friends.
