I didn't know you sweetie! Only connection I have to you is our "Elrod" last name. Just five little letters that have burned the memory of your picture in my mind, likely forever. I like to imagine all the beautiful butterflies in heaven make you very happy sweet girl! That you chase them around at the feet of Jesus daily. I pray your dear family has found some peace and comfort since you left and feel your love everytime they see a beautiful butterfly!

No one's adding any photos so I'll start it off :) I don't know the source or sources of the images used in the tribute slideshow, how if you know what is the source, feel free to email me at the address below. I didn't personally know her but amongst the innocent kids and teachers, she struck me the most. Every time I pass a farm or ranch on my way to a friend's house or school, or see farm animals, or the countryside, it reminds me of her. I have dreamed of her several times including one possible sign from her on my birthday, makes me feel that we have some special connection 🐎🐎💜💜🕊️

My heart goes for everyone who knew and loved her and hopefully her spirit is always with you all. Makenna did not have to grow beautiful purple angel wings so soon. I would have absolutely loved to meet Makenna, she seemed like such a fun, caring, and loving person to be around and hang out with. And I just know that she looking down at her family and friends, I’m sure she still loves huge and is dancing and singing in heaven with all of her angel friends, may God bless you all 💜

So heart breaking. Thinking of you and your family as the anniversary of your passing gets closer.. I don’t know you & im not a very religious person but I pray your family finds peace and comfort in this time. Such a beautiful soul taken way too soon. Thank you for the constant reminder to cherish every moment I have with my kiddos. Out of all the lives lost that day I keep getting drawn to you & I don’t know why. So hopefully this message reaches someone who needs to hear it.

I have been praying nightly since your tragic loss. I am a member of St. Anthony’s Shrine in Boston,MA. One of our Franciscan priests had a candle lit on the altar with a photograph of the victims. I selected McKennas to bring home to pray for. Please know she and your family have not been forgotten. Time may ease the pain, but it is never gone. I pray that 2023 brings comfort knowing she is remembered around the world.

To the family of Makenna,There isn’t a day that goes by that I think of all those precious souls who lost their lives in such a senseless manner. After watching the video of your beautiful precious daughter you sure could tell that she was indeed a lover of animals. The picture of Makenna holding that baby lamb brought more tears to my eyes. I wish I had the chance to meet her in person. Makenna had a beautiful smile and a loving personality that you could tell that she had many friends. I can’t imagine how your family is dealing with the loss of your daughter. I’m sure she is looking down and smiling knowing that one day you will be greeted by Makenna and it will be for eternity. Sending our sincere sympathy to your entire family. Thinking of you from John and Kathy Smith from Midland Michigan. God Bless!❤️
