Dear Morales family, I was so saddened to hear of Xenia's passing. I was her teacher at FHS back in 1994 when she first arrived in Fredericton from El Salvador. She was in a small ESL class that became one of my most memorable experiences as a teacher. Xenia was one of 3 girls from El Salvador, all of whom had escaped the war that was going on at the time. I'm sure it was very frightening to live through that, but also to leave and come to a strange, cold country that spoke a foreign language. Xenia was a petite and beautiful young woman. She was cheerful, hardworking, mature, respectful, and kind. She became proficient in English very quickly. We had great times in that class...picnic at the experimental farm, class dinners, a class party at my house. Xenia was quiet but not shy...just a sweetheart. I ran into her a couple of times over the years, the last being a couple of years ago at Devon School. She was still the beautiful Xenia in every way. It was so nice to see her! My profound sympathy to you all on the loss of such a wonderful human being! Sincerely, Cheryl Robertson
