Makala was an amazing person. Everytime I saw her she had a smile on her face, no matter the circumstance. She was open minded, caring, and a great cousin. She was beautiful inside and out. I have only great, fun, amazing memories of her even when times were gloom. Very charismatic. She will be missed until we meet again. Know my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with Uncle Mark and the rest of your family. Love and miss you all.
