I’ve taken some time to post because it takes me a while to grieve the loss of people. I know by now everyone has heard that Mikayla took her own life. This hits home to me because not only was she a friend but I’ve had personal loss in my family of su***de as well as close friends. I feel for anyone who has been here emotionally and feels that’s the only way out. I don’t have the right words to say to express how affected this is for me and many others. I feel for her family, her husband and daughter and for the many people who cared for her. Mikayla and I met very early on into her rescue back in 2016 when she only had 4 foxes. We developed a friendship and I traveled up there many times to see them and help in whatever ways she needed. She would travel down here to drop off foxes and stay with me for a couple days. We had this type of friendship where we didn’t have to talk or socialize a lot because I knew it made her uncomfortable. I started my rescue which was always a dream of mine after seeing her start hers. Brian and I have been with Mikayla through some hard times. When Finn got out and we looked for him for days and when Farrah got killed we were there when it happened. I joked with her and said I would stop coming to see her because every time I did something bad would happen. Mikayla I’m glad I met you. Im glad you didn’t give up on your dreams even though they got hard. You have always been dedicated and hard working and relentless as Ethan calls it when it comes to your passion. I am forever grateful for the impact you have had on my life. I hope we all make you proud. I am a woman of faith and I know your in heaven with all the babies especially Casper and I ask that you please give him a hug for me. God will prevail and justice will be served to those who have done wrong and I know that you’re in peace now. I’m sorry that this happened and I hope you know how much you are loved.
