Truly was a blessing to have in my classroom last year. I so enjoyed her big smile and courage. I have commented to others what a wonderful student she was and how hard she worked even as she was not well. I will always remember her sweet spirit and beautiful eyes and pray comfort for you and your family at this time. I also loved getting to know your family when I first came to LMS and taught Dexter. May you feel God’s comfort and peace and strength now and in the future.
Amanda Rose (Camp Independence) says
I met Truly at Camp independence her first year. She drew me a picture and I will forever cherish it. I was looking so forward to seeing Truly at camp in 2020 until covid happened. We talked on the phone several times after camp and had tried to make plans to meet up so she could make me one of her shaved ice. My heart is broken. Rest in Heaven sweet girl. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I will always remember Truly as a 6th grader – from Open House on her vibrant spirit lit up the classroom. I always loved her creative drawings and hearing her thoughts in class. She was an absolute delight to have in my classroom. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this difficult time.

I was friends with Truly starting in 5th grade and she came to all my parties and she was so sweet and nice and brave and I miss her. I just found what happened, I wish I found out earlier so that I could have attended the service. I will miss her and how goofy she was, I will be donating, I send hope and love to her family. I have pictures of her I’d like to share with them of Truly at parties with me. I’m sorry for your loss. -Cayla Crunkelton.

Truly was a wonderful friend. The best I could ask for. It pains me that I wasn’t able to do more with her. She deserved the best. I hope that’s what she is getting up there in heaven. I love you Truly Worthy. May your afterlife be amazing. I hope you never have to suffer again.

Erika Garcia Santibanez says
I didn’t know truly for a long time, however the one time I did hang out with her. It was one of the best times ever, the escape room 🙂
I really loved that even only if it was for a few hours, I wouldn’t have chose in over anything else. Truly was such a bright person to everyone around her and so kind. I know she’s resting now and that makes me peaceful. I love you truly, and miss you. Even if it was only one day <3.
Amy Brown says
I will always remember Truly’s kind spirit and great easy-going sense of humor. I was a substitute teacher during her elementary school years.
We would say hello to each other in the hallways and I will never forget her beaming smile and how she looked like she was going to bust out laughing because she was so purely joyful.
She lives on in the hearts of so many of us who were lucky enough to be a small part of her life.
