I have fond memories of the stories that my uncle Kenzie McCormick would share with my siblings and me when he came to visit us in Indianapolis, IN when I was a teenager.
He would often talk about the adventures that he had as he traveled the country.
The most memorable stories were about the people that he met, worked with, and befriended in California, especially in Los Angeles and Hollywood. He shared how he had met several notable celebrities and even worked for them in some capacity from time-to-time.
I admire how my Uncle Kenzie moved out West to follow his dreams. Too often in life, we hold back from doing the things that we really want because of fear. In some manner, my uncle put his fear(s) aside to live the life that he imagined for himself. For me, my uncle was a true embodiment of a "free spirit." In one way, I followed in his footsteps and in 2020 earned my Ph.D. in Education, and I hope to actualize more of my dreams because of this accomplishment.
I look forward to the day when we reunite in Heaven.
Love Always,
Larissa "Resa" McCormick, Your Oldest Niece
