## Resource

Makenzi Kern, just 26, died unexpectedly on a bachelorette trip in St. Barts from health complications — no foul play suspected. Loved by friends and teammates like Tyrese Haliburton, she lit up every room she entered. Her friend Jones, who hosted the trip, called her a once-in-a-lifetime light, and Haliburton honored her with a simple, powerful “I love you.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
