We are so sorry for your loss. My son went to Wilcox with Dasha and he came home from school on many occasions with funny stories to tell, he considered her a good friend. We are saddened and shocked to hear of her passing.

I will always remember Dasha's beautiful smile and sunny personality. She was a student of mine last year, and I was sorry not to have her in my sophomore classes. But, Dasha never failed to come by to see me when she was able to attend school. She never complained nor felt sorry for herself --- she was just her usual lovely self. I know I can't say much to comfort you in this time of great sorrow, but please know that this little girl touched many lives and made a lasting impression during her too short life.
