    Funerals614 - Say Their Name: S4 Ep1: Makenzi Ridley

    This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Makenzi, whose life continues to inspire hope, community, and love five years later. Five years ago today, 17-year-old Makenzi was taken from her family just weeks after graduating from high school. Today, we are not focusing on how she passed. We are focusing on how she lived. In this deeply moving episode of Funerals614: Say Their Name, Lori Diaz, “The Funeral Chic,” sits down with Makenzi‘a mother, Seneca Ridley to remember a remarkable young woman whose life continues to impact family, friends, and the Columbus community. Together, they discuss: • Who Makenzi was beyond the headlines • A mother’s love five years later  • Living with an unsolved case  • Faith through unimaginable grief  • Parenting while grieving  • Raising siblings after loss  • The power of friendship and community • Orange Heart for Makenzi and continuing her dreams  • What people should understand about grieving parents This conversation isn’t about tragedy. It’s about love. It’s about resilience. It’s about remembering a life that still matters. Because as long as we continue to say their name, their story continues. If this conversation touched your heart, please subscribe, share this episode, and leave a comment honoring someone you’ll never stop remembering. #SayTheirName #Funerals614 #TheFuneralChic #Grief #Healing #OrangeHeartsForMakenzi #RememberingMakenzi #ColumbusOhio #LoveStillLives
