Amerie Jo Garza was a kind, caring, blunt, loving, sweet, sassy and of course funny little diva who “hated dresses” but nonetheless; she truly had a heart of gold. She loved to eat at Chick-Fil-A and vanilla bean frape from Starbucks. Her favorite hobbies were swimming, drawing, and most of all spending time with family. Amerie biggest dream was to become an Art teacher due to her ambitions for creativity. A protector of her brother and as we now know her classmates. This world will never have another Amerie. She will truly be missed.
