Leslie Casillas, was a beautiful lady.  Her funeral was Wednesday, but with AZ being a hot spot of Covid right now, I was too afraid to go St. Thomas' to attend the mass in her honor.  But I want to share these sentiments.

For her beautiful daughters, I always loved seeing you with your mom.  I know it's not easy to go on without your mother, especially when you are still only in college and in high school. My heart aches for you.  Even though you can't see her physical form, I truly believe that now she is with you every day in spirit. If you need her near, just remember her and you will feel the warmth of the love she has for you. It's said that you will see a dropped coin, a butterfly, a rainbow, or remember the scent of her perfume when she is closest to you.  

All five years at Collier, her class of 2nd graders was always one of my favorites to have in my art room. They held each other accountable for how they behaved. They encouraged each other and were kind to one another. They listened and got excited about what they were learning! She was an awesome teacher and a great mentor to the kids in her reading club and her future leaders/scholars in the National Honor Society. I'm sad for her students, but I know her life lessons of perseverance and scholarly endeavors will carry them far.

May the blessings she bestowed upon our lives follow us all our days. 💖

Ms. Casillas made a difference in so many lives.  She touched the young and growing minds of our future for 12 years at Collier.  I worked with her for the past three years as a teacher and had the amazing opportunity to have her youngest daughter, Ariana, in my 8th grade math class.  Ms. Casillas will forever be remembered as a Collier Coyote who encouraged all young people to do AND be their best.  I appreciate the time that I was able to call her my Coyote colleague- Thank you for everything you have ever done for young learners and all the inspiration you have instilled in them. 
Mrs. Lisa Nahrgang
