Prayers lifted for the family of Kwesiya. I was her 5th grade teacher at West Forest Intermediate School. I remember her bright smile even when she was being redirected on misbehavior. She was one of those students that you never forgot. May God bless this family as you cherish each memory that you have of your beautiful loved one.
