Memories and Condolences
for Leyda Jimenez

Not sure what to say?

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.
