Kiira was my second grade teacher from 2015-2016. I was bullied a lot then. But Kiira was always there for me. She would sit beside me when I cried and comfort me. She helped me process my emotions in ways that still help me today. She knew how to make everyone laugh. She was the only teacher I felt  truly loved by. She was safe. She was wise.  I still cry today for her. Kiira if you are somehow seeing this: I want to make you proud. You saved me and I don’t want it to be for nothing. 
Thank you for being the angel that the world needed.

Dear Adam, Benji, and all of Kiira's friends and family,

A year later, I am still stunned at the loss of Kiira. I can still clearly hear her laugh, picture the excitement of her kids every day in her classroom, and remember our serious conversations at the end of the school day about our students or silly personal things like whether there were gymnastics on television that Kiira had to watch when she got home! I thought of her every time I watched gymnastics during the Summer Olympics.

Sending my thoughts out to all that loved Kiira!

Love you, Kiira!
Maria





Sending your family my sincere condolences and prayers. I met Kiira at an event for Asian American teachers in DMV area. I really admired her for her knowledge and bravery for standing up and to educate others about DEI issues especially around APIDA groups. She will be missed. 

Dear Kiira’s family,
My name is Maria Ho. My daughter Melissa Ho was Kiira’s  good friend at Horace Mann. Melissa, her sister Emily, myself, and our family were devastated to hear of Kiira’s sudden and unexpected passing.  I wanted to express our condolences to Kiira’s family. I just can’t imagine a world where something so tragic and so sad  like this can happen,  but it has. I fondly remember driving Melissa to Kiira’s house and meeting her lovely parents. It was a long time ago but it also seems like just yesterday when they were all in high school. I have many fond memories of Melissa and her friends during that time. I’ve enclosed a photo that Melissa sent to me of Kiira, Melissa and some of their HM friends. This is how I will always remember Kiira, as a happy, warm, kind, wonderful, and always smiling friend of Melissa’s. Honestly, I cannot imagine the grief your family must be going through. I hope the wonderful and happy memories of Kiira will help to ease your pain and sadness. 
My deepest condolences, 
Maria Ho

For Robin -
Sending you my sympathy and a virtual hug.

Such heartbreaking news, no words can express my grief. We have fond memories of our family reunion cruise last summer.  Kiira will be loved,  remembered and cherished in our hearts forever. Sending you all much positive energy,  love and hugs.
