In our family, Kendara and I were closest in age so we could easily relate to each other. We never ran out of things to talk about. One time, we were talking before bed about random things like our favourite colours. The next thing we knew it was 7 a.m. and we were in a deep conversation about what we wanted out of life.

“Kendara was small at only five-feet tall, but she was mighty. Her laugh was usually always funnier than the joke, she gave the absolute best hugs, she had the kindest heart, and she was incredibly giving even when she didn’t have anything monetary to give,” said Gloria Ballantyne-Packo, Ballantyne’s sister.

“She was always there to lend a listening ear and give support to her friends if they were having a hard time. She just brought so much joy into so many people’s lives. When she was around you, you knew that she genuinely cared about you, loved you and wanted the best for you.”

Ballantyne had last been seen in the afternoon of July 18 last year, walking down Cathedral Avenue in The Pas. The Pas RCMP and Major Crime Services have yet to determine the cause of Ballantyne’s death.''
