Maria

When we lost Jerimy,

We never knew

That throughout the year

We'd lose another two.



Surely after three,

There'd not be four.

Maria Rojo passed away

And tears were shed once more.



Maria was special

And active in school.

She did her work.

She followed the rules.



She didn't speak much english,

But tried her best.

She did her homework

And passed her tests.



The students of Sonora High

Loved her very much.

We will never forget

The lives that she touched.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Maria was the fourth of four students of the class of 2001 who was killed.
