The Baca family will always hold on to their memories of Aisha being bright, helpful, lifting those around her and being a quiet leader. Things in the Baca house were more fun when Aisha was around. They adored how funny, adventurous, and inquisitive her outlook on life was. She would try anything new and loved to experience our world. Aisha excelled in everything she tried. Whether it was sewing, skateboarding, drawing, cooking, or even hoop dancing it was easy for Aisha to master. Aisha’s mind was brilliant. She understood things at a very young age. She could read 600+ words a minute and type 200 words a minute. Her emotional intelligence was unmatched. She could understand what someone was going through and offer love and support. She hated to see anyone hurt in any way and would often stick up for anyone that was being treated harshly. Aisha was a very forgiving person. She had no time for holding grudges nor did she want to carry that burden around. She was kind and gentle and just wanted to live in peace. She was also resilient, strong, brave, determined, and fiercely independent. She could have survived crashing on a deserted island. She would have been perfectly content making friends with all the creepy crawly things on the island. She loved all animals and was overjoyed to finally have her own puppy, Mazy. Aisha is one of a kind, is loved by many, and her loss is felt deeply by all who knew her. We love you, Aisha.
