I was another one of those friends of the children that the Jimenez’s so graciously took into their home after school, on weekends, during sleepovers…
It had been years since Zaida and I last saw each other, but spending so much time at their home as a child, I remember Leyda quite well. I still remember her gentle presence, a sweet innocence about her all of the time. Her good-naturedness was infectious and you couldn’t help but smile when she giggled over the favorite part of a beloved song.
My heart and my prayers go out to the family and everyone else that was touched by Leyda’s kind and gentle spirit.
My Deepest and Sincere Condolences.

I am Leyda's aunt. We still very devastated over this tragedy. Please remember and honor Leyda's memory as the loving person she was. I know she is now safe with our Creator. I'm repeating someone else's quote: Leyda is in Heaven because God needed her in Heaven.

I went to high school with Leyda and Cesar. I was shocked to hear of Leyda's passing. Every time I saw her there was always a smile on her face, and that is what I will remember. May the Lord give you all strength during this difficult time. God Bless.
