Yanitza Annais Benitez-Idelfonso

She was a courageous warrior princess who's love for all beings extended to even the largest and wildest of animals. Her dream of being a veterinarian and traveling the world to help any and all species was something she spoke about since we can remember. Not only did she love her family but school and reading were one of her favorite past times. She loved bright bold colors with her favorite being teal and rose gold. The love of those colors shined right through her big beautiful personality and smile...
