Brenda Carina Soto was full of life, vibrant, intelligent, and beautiful inside and out. She was a healthy 16 years old who dreamed of being a cop one day, her love for people was admirable. Born on February 1st, 2ooo she was Monica’s only child and pride and joy. She was loved tremendously by her parents, family and all who knew her.
On Wednesday, April 20th, 2016 their life was turned upside as Brenda’s life was cut short when she was found unresponsive in a bathroom floor at Lake Braddock Secondary School by a student and teachers around 5:45pm after staying after school for chemistry. She was taken to INOVA where she was pronounced dead. She was surrounded by her mother and loved ones.
As a mother of a teenager I can only imagine the inconsolable pain Monica and Juan Carlos are going through from the loss of their child. This comes as shock to her family and friends. She was suffering from depression and was seeking help from professionals and was making progress, and with the unconditional love and support of her family.
There is nothing that will take the pain away... but any donations will help alleviate the stress of paying for the funeral and medical expenses. Due to unfortunate events she had no health insurance and her family desperately needs all contributions and support.
A vigil will be conducted at Lake Braddock SS details soon come, and I will keep everyone posted on all funeral arrangements and anything else that the family wants share. She will be greatly missed by many who loved her, her spirit and her unforgettable smile. The Soto-Loza Family would like to thank you for all of the kind words and contributions.
