Alithia Ramirez, who had her life taken away at just 10-years-old by the Uvalde school shooter, helped a Grand Prairie couple get through the loss of their son who was her best friend.
Alithia and Nico were the best of buddies, eight-year-olds who shared a love of soccer and a talent for drawing sketches.
Sedeno also had to break the news to Alithia last year that her best friend was struck and killed by a car in Grand Prairie. It was devastating, but little Alithia became a surprising source of strength and comfort for Nico's family. "Even though she was so young, so still had the heart and mentally to reach out and think of others."
"I imagined yelling, screaming, panic. It's horrible what she probably went though her last minutes," said Jesus Escalante, one of Alithia's friends."The irony is Nico could have been in that classroom... We lost Nico tragically, but if we would have stayed there, he would have been one of the victims.
