Nearly two years later and I still think of Sienna Monet, even though I only knew her for a brief time. I remember her eye for photography, her great taste in music, her sense of humor, and her supportive nature. Her impact is strong and vibrant, just like her.
Dear Potter Family, I am so sorry for your loss. One of my good friends was a dear friend to Sienna. Although I did not know her, I could feel the impact that she had and I had such strong feelings of grief when I found out that she had passed. It was not until today that I found out that she was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, as I have recently been baptized into. I want you to know that I feel her love for you, and that I know that she is doing great things with Christ. Although I had no chance to meet her and had no idea of her membership, I believe that the sisterly bond that ties us together as members was prevalent in my mind, and the Spirit testified to me of her love for her family and friends. I will be praying and thinking of your family at this time.
We love Sienna! Our family thinks the world of her, especially our daughters! They looked forward to every time she would babysit them because she would ALWAYS bring or do fun activities with them....like making slime, watching fun movies or bringing over cookie dough to make cookies! She even gave our girls some of her old dolls before she went to college, which they will always remember and cherish. Our hearts and prayers are with the Potter family at this time. We know she will be watching over you!
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Monroe, Harrison and Drake. Thank you for the opportunity to attend the service via zoom. It was such a beautiful service and to hear the words from Monroe, Mrs. Potter, Drake, and Mr. Potter. The song of her life - how beautiful. I am grateful to have had her as a student and to witness the light she shown at Alconbury. She was so talented in so many ways; in her kindness, singing, art, video and just a beautiful human being. She and I had a thing we joked around about as to why I should give her preference with anything and everything instead of her friends in art class - she was known as "The Chosen One." Sienna will be greatly missed.
Tricia and family, We extend our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to your family. Sienna’s life here on earth was short but her impact was grand. She came her to do great things and she succeeded. Her legacy is eternal, and she will live on in the hearts of many lives she touched. With our deepest sympathy. Lucy Thompson & Linda Flynn
I am beyond shocked and sadden by the loss of your beloved daughter. May the endless beautiful memories you made with Sienna over the years bring you and your family some comfort during this extraordinarily difficult time. I hope and pray that God bless and watch over you and yours!
Dear Potter Fanily, My dearest condolences and sympathy for you and your family. Your children were like siblings to me and Sienna was one of my best friends. I was heart broken to hear the news, but her and her memories will forever live in my heart. I know she is singing with the Lord and I cannot wait to one day be singing with her again. Love, Ainsley McIntyre

Sienna is such a fun, wonderful young woman who will be greatly missed. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to teach seminary to her. I'm sure you'll be keeping an eye on your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Xx
We are stunned and devastated. Sienna was the most beautiful girl. She helped my daughter Olivia in math and taught her to play the ukulele. We grieve with you and will forever be grateful for having experienced such a precious girl.
Much love to the Entire Rhoades family as well as the Potter family. We love the Rhoades and our hearts go out to them at this time. ❤️
Trisha, I can't imagine what you are going through. My heart aches for you as you deal with the loss of your baby girl. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Vince Anderson
My many many memories of Sienna will be forever cherished. I will always remember her for her endless talents, especially her beautiful alto voice, her strikingly beautiful skin and red hair, her ability to add an element of fun to any situation, and her out of control late night giggling. She was a gift to my children’s lives and her friendship to my girls meant the world to me. Sweet sweet Sienna, how can this be real? Your absence from this world isn’t fair. You were meant to do great things and have amazing life experiences. I’m thankful to have known you and loved you.
So sorry for your loss Tricia and family. Such a tragic thing to happen. If she is anything like her mom, she is amazing! I am thinking of you.. . I am grateful that our Lord has a plan. Steve Wood
