MACKENZIE: “I know I’ve been asking, but do you think I’ll be able to come to his house just for a little bit someday soon? Don’t even have to be there or see me because I understand that it’s hard for you. I just want to be there so bad. I feel like it will help me a little bit. I just want to grab some things. I will ask you if I can take them before I do.”

CHRISTINE: “I don’t think you understand just how incredibly hard this has been for me. I haven’t gone in there except to get clothes to bury him in.”

MACKENZIE: “I understand completely, I feel so bad, I wish I could just take your pain away. I’m hurting too, he was my soulmate. I was there with him every day, you guys are literally my second family.”

MACKENZIE: “I didn’t just lose Dom, I lost my whole other family, and that’s you guys.”

CHRISTINE: “My family will never be the same, lost a part of my heart.  I’m sorry that people aren’t receptive to you, but those boys died in your hands. You have to understand that. You think I want things this way? My life is hell. I am broken.”

MACKENZIE: “I did not do this on purpose. If I knew any of this would have happened, I would have made sure it was me that died. I would think that you would understand, but it’s good to know you think this is all my fault. I do understand that nothing is ever going to be the same. We’re in the same boat, we both lost extremely important people to us. And I see Angelo and somebody else in his studio. So I know that it has been more than you and Angelo in hell. Everybody’s life is hell, everybody is so broken over this. It’s not just you and Angelo. I wish I could take that pain away from you guys and just make it so it’s only for me. I tried to tell you guys I would never do this on purpose, and I thought you would know that.”
