MariaEsther Yañez Obituary, Death – Finding the right words to convey the most recent information that has become available about Maria Esther Yaez to you has proven to be a challenge. We found out very early this morning from the Yaez family that she had passed away, and we are relieved to know that she is no longer in any discomfort because of her passing. We have only begun the process of coming to terms with this information, as well as trying to offer consolation to our students and to one another.
This is a process that we are all just beginning. Whether you were a youngster or an adult, it wasn’t hard at all to get to know Miss Yaez on a personal level and develop a deep friendship with her. She has been a pillar of strength and conviction within our organization, serving as an example of both courage and faith at all times. This morning, during the awards ceremony that was held to celebrate the accomplishments of our students for the second quarter, we also made this announcement to some of the families of our children.
As a member of the family that makes up Sacred Heart Catholic School, I feel forced to convey to you the grief, sadness, and prayers of everyone associated with the school. During this time of testing, we are each other’s support, and we have faith that this is all a part of God’s plan for our lives. We are able to discover comfort even in the midst of adversity as a result of the faith that we have in God. Her contributions will forever be remembered in the annals of Sacred Heart Catholic School’s rich heritage.
