I taught Lupita when she was in first grade. She was sassy, silly, and joyful. We used to work on letter names and sounds, and her favorite thing to do was to talk about the letter “T”. Every time we got to “T”, she would shout, “T for Tobi!” and would call for my dog.  She loved school and talking with her teachers and friends. She will be so sorely missed. 

Le enseñé a Lupita cuando estaba en primer grado y era atrevida, tonta y alegre. Solíamos trabajar en los nombres y sonidos de las letras, y lo que más le gustaba hacer era hablar sobre la letra "T". Cada vez que llegábamos a la "T", gritaba "¡T de Tobi!". y llamaría a mi perro. Le encantaba la escuela y hablar con sus maestros y amigos. Ella será muy extrañada.

Lupita was my lunchtime fist-bumping buddy at Carlin Springs Elementary (2019-20) and brought life, love, and joy wherever she went!

She was meant to be in my Summer School class this past summer, and I was looking forward to spending that time with her.  She is a beautiful child, created in God’s image, and full of love and joy. 

I am terribly sorry for loss of your beautiful daughter. She will be your daughter forever. I believe that you will see her again. She is in much better place now. I will keep you in my prayers and will out your name in the Washington DC Temple pray roll. Heavenly Father knows your family and your daughter very well. He is watching over you. Please know lots of people praying for you. May God be with you and you will find a peace and comfort.
