Recently Kenzie Hensley has wrote a beautiful song to the victims of the UCC shooting in Roseburg. I feel honored to share this today, as her mother has reached out to That Oregon Life. I promised her I would share it. Please share it with everyone you know.

 

Hensley went to high school with two of the students who died in the shooting. She is now living in Australia, and wanted to write a song giving her part in helping her hometown heal from this tragedy.

Tyler James was born in Oregon and founded That Oregon Life in 2013 after finding peace and a renewed sense of purpose in the state’s forests, mountains, and coastline. What started as a personal connection to the outdoors became a way to help others discover new places, support local businesses, and appreciate Oregon’s quirks. He writes about local history, outdoor adventures, good food, and the occasional bit of satire, or whatever catches his attention before the coffee wears off.
