Kendra was united in marriage to Kevin McCall on September 1, 1990, at the United Methodist Church in Nashua. To this union two sons, Zachary and Zade, were born whom she loved with all her heart. She was there to support them in their events and was very proud of their accomplishments. Not only did Kendra have a special bond with her sons, but she also had a special touch with all children. She was a very caring individual who was there to lend a hand to those in need. One way she showed her support was by volunteering with the Chickasaw Ambulance Service, which she was active in for over ten years. She and her husband, Kevin, were also both members of the Nashua Jaycees. Kendra was employed for over 15 years by Pfizer in Charles City as a lab technician. During this time many new friends were made. During the past few months, her family and friends saw what a courageous person she was. Kendra will always be remembered for her enduring strength and inspiration.

Dear Kevin, Zach, Zade, Linda, Shannon, Terry, and all of you family and friends- I have sooo many fond memories of Kendra growing up. She was one of my first friends when we moved to Nashua in 3rd grade and she made it so much easier for me through her friendliness and kindness. From the times we roughed it up at the farm, to High School Tribulations and Triumphs, to being honored enough to being asked to be in your wedding, Kendra was a dear friend of mine. Miles and different pphases of our lives have distanced us, but I will NEVER forget our childhood and young adulthood! We all grew up together making each and every one of us who we are today! It is obvious she was a treasured daughter, sister, wife, mother, and luckily for me, Friend! God Bless All of You as you tread through the next few days, weeks, and years. May those tears of sadness turn into tears of happy memories. Thinking of you! Connie

May God give you the strength to get through this difficult time, so that one day, you will remember her not with tears but with smiles. Beautiful Kendra, may you rest in peace sweet angel.
I do love the manner in which you have framed this particular problem plus it does supply us some fodder for thought. However, through just what I have personally seen, I simply trust when the actual feedback pack on that people continue to be on point and in no way start on a soap box associated with the news of the day. All the same, thank you for this fantastic point and while I can not really concur with the idea in totality, I regard your viewpoint.
