The first emotional awakening for one of the 21 victims of the Texas school massacre took place on Monday.
Little Ameri Joe Garza – who called 911 for help when she was shot dead by crazy 18-year-old shooter Salvador Ramos – was remembered for waking up one day at the Hillcrest Memorial in Uwalde.
The fourth-grader turned 10 just two weeks before she was killed in a massacre last week at Rob Elementary School in Uwalde. She is due to be buried on Tuesday.
Ameri Garza Garza was 10 years old two weeks before the shooting in Uwalde.
Her stepfather, medical technician Angel Garza, was caring for another victim when he learned that the girl he raised as his own was among the dead, his mother told People magazine.
“He helped children,” Berlinda Areola said of her son.
She said he was told the tragic news of his stepdaughter when another student, covered in blood, told him it was Ameri’s blood on her.

Awakenings and burials of the victims will continue during the week.
A total of 19 fourth-graders and two adult teachers were killed in the massacre, one of the largest in U.S. history and the deadliest shooting in elementary school since the killing of 26 students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
