Juanita,

We are deeply saddened by the loss of someone who gave so much love to everyone-students and staff alike. Your kindness and unwavering support touched countless lives and left a lasting legacy within our community. Your rare gift for making every person feel seen, valued, and cared for, and their presence will be profoundly missed.

Dear Juanita,
I miss you already. Thank you for being such an amazing friend, woman, warrior, paraprofessional and Angel to our autism babies.
I love you always,
Katherine P. Agurto
