Mackenzie Coy Reffalt

MacKenzie Coy Reffalt was born on July 16, 1998 to Kacy & Billy Reffalt. She joined the Lord on
October 21, 2008. Leaving behind many broken hearts; her Mother Kacy Laingen of Shepherd, Montana;
Father Bill Reffalt and Step-mother Jennifer Reffalt of Ft. Laramie, Wyoming; three sisters, Billie
Joe Stoneking and husband Charles of Jackson, Florida, Aubrey Kudlock and fiance, Matt Scott of
Newcastle, Wyoming, and Devon Baldwin and husband, AJ of Livingston, Montana; Parernal Grandmother
JoAnne Reffalt of Guernsey, Wyoming; Maternal Grandmother Claudia Burris of Buffalo, Wyoming; two
neices, three nephews; and numerous Aunts, Uncles and extended family and friends.

She was a very Special girl! When she smiled at you, you couldn't help falling in love with her.
"Kenzie" loved animals, who also fell to her charm. She would try to catch and tame the wild
kittens. When she would go stay with her Dad for the summer, half of the farm would go with her.
The night after she got her hamster Oreo, she had to wake up her Poppa at four in the morning
because he was stuck in a tube of the cage. She was very worried about him not many in the house
slept till he was safe in his ball! Riding John Deere tractors was a funfilled hobby of hers. She
loved them so much she thought she bleed green! Barrel racing on her horse Rebel was quickly
becoming another passion for her. Kenzie was a very high spirted girl who loved life. Even at the
age of 10 the boys could see her beauty inside and out.

MacKenzie was laid to rest at the Prairie Rest Cemetery in Guernsey, Wyoming on November 8, 2008 at
the tender age of 10 years old. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing
her! Rest in Peace our Sweet Farm Angel!

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind;
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way,
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand, And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.


I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'

'It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.

I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'

God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'

So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go and....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me
