I got to know Malina better, through serving as youth group sponsor at the Temple. Malina was always pleasant, friendly and mature. I really enjoyed talking with Malina. Her parents are role models to my husband and our young family. Both Scott and Tammy have done a lot to help my family when we went through a difficult time.

I have fond memories of Malina in seventh grade history class, and I am terribly saddened to hear of their passing. My heart-felt sympathy to Malina’s parents.
A great person/neice that was taken way too early. Malina was so talented in everything she did. She was always kind and caring. Just sharing some of the moments about Malina. Tam, Scott and Janna: you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
My heart breaks at the loss of a very talented artist and dear, sweet soul. I could always count on Malina to weave a piece of magic with pencils and charcoal and never miss an opportunity to reach for the edge. I was challenged as an artist and a teacher, and I will miss the future that Malina could have had.
Kae was a beautiful individual. They spread joy and love through their kindness, positive attitude, and artistic talent. She will be greatly missed but will be remembered with fondness and love. Lynnette Jacobsen
