Makayla Ann Rush

Its been over a year and three months. I miss her so much, its been a really hard time without her. I miss our little stupid fights over me just walking into the family room or fighting who got to ride in the front seat on what day. Only if you were here now, I wish I got to see you become an 8th grader, I wish to have seen you become a 9th grader and get the experience of becoming a high schooler, a lot has happened since you left our world to see a better place than what has been going on now. Yet even though I was able to leave Central Catholic and be able to attend Harrison, forever you remain a knight where as I was able to become a raider at Harrison. For those wondering who I am, and who I may be is I was her sister, I am Monica Rush. I was one of many siblings she had, either albeit half or full blood. I miss her a ton, and I will NEVER be able to get over what I had saw when I had walked out past the garage to the flag pole on the 17th of that month seeing her feet just dangling there from the tree. its now cut down, but forever I will NEVER be able to forget what happened. Forever more, Makayla's sister, Monicaq Rush

Happy all souls day, praying for Makayla and her family

I know its way to late to do this, but she was a close friend of mine, and will always be. She was one of the first people that said hi to me when i first moved to St.B. I will never forget that smile she gave me all the night. She loved anime, and she had this one hoodie that had a charter on it. She was so sweet, but she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself or her friends. I was also in basketball with her, she wanted to join it with me. We did a lot of things together, like hanging out at germanfest, sitting at mass together, joining clubs, projects, she was even the first friend to come over to my house. I always have the memory of that day, walking home with her, she was dancing, we were singing songs together, two of them i still listen to for her honor, and her telling me she hates mangos. She also loved my dogs, Toby, who passed away a long time ago, and hubert, my current dog. She also loved socks for some reason, she would always show me them. Her family was also really important to her. She was really thankful for them, she would always tell me how important they were to her. It's been almost 10 months without her, and i still can't accept that she's gone. Im still waiting for her to get to school sometimes. It still feels unreal, and i wish she wasn't gone. But she will never be gone, she will always be in my heart. I just wish i could get all those little memories back, Like us laughing together, talking, and just simply just being there for eachother. I miss her, a lot, and i know you all do too. We all do, and we always do. My heart goes out for you guys, and God bless.

Constantly praying for you and your family.

I am very sorry for your loss. I will always keep Makayla and your family in my prayers.

I too am a 7th grader at cc and was close friends with Makayla, I was a transfer student and she was the first person at central catholic to befriend me. I remember she always wore these crazy fun socks that some people made fun of but most adored . We had this joke in our 6th hour theology that instead of Jesus always being the answer it was David, David was always the answer. One other big thing that brought us together was in all school mass. We always raised our hands as far as they would go during the our father and at the end when our theology teacher came to pick up the mass sheets she would wait for him to leave and speak in her best baby voice and say " welp there goes the Jesus teacher" and we would laugh so hard every time because with Makayla no joke or saying ever got old.

Fred, Alice. Monica, Justin & Family, Our hearts, love and prayers are with you all.

Justine and Alice: My heart is breaking at the news of your daughter/granddaughter going to Heaven. I am truly sorry and pray that God will give you and your family the strength to deal with your grief and ease your pain. Linda Hainje-Braman
