My aunt was more than just family—she was my mentor in my career. My aunt was like a second mother to me in every way. When I first came to this city, she welcomed me with open arms and opened her home to me—I lived with her for two years, and during that time, she became my greatest support. Her love, generosity, and guidance helped me find my footing in a new place. As a passionate teacher herself, she also became my mentor and inspiration as I began my own journey in education. She encouraged me, believed in me, and taught me by example what it truly means to be a caring and dedicated educator. I carry her lessons and her love in my heart every day, both in life and in the classroom. Her impact on me is lasting, and I’m forever grateful for the gift of her presence in my life. Te voy a extrañar mucho Tia !!!! Gracias por todo lo que me enseñaste! Siempre le hablare a Cami de ti , de la maravillosa persona que fuiste! Love you ❤️

I am a close lifelong friend of Tania and Adria, Lety's beautiful daughters. I met Lety (their Mom, I would have never dared to call her by her first name) at the age of 15 or so, when all of us attended Incarnate Word Academy. Most of my formative teenage years were spent with this beautiful family and Lety was the backbone. She welcomed me always. She never made me feel less than or inadequate, not even awkward. This was at a tender age when I most certainly was trying to find my footing. I will never ever forget that Lety was the first person to ever describe me as a free spirit. That gave me a sense of grounding and pride in who I am that lasts til this day. It helped to form my sense of self and boosted my self esteem. That was the strong quiet magic of Lety's presence. She always made everyone feel seen and appreciated no matter what the circumstances. She always saw the best in everyone. She expected the best from us. And so we tried to fulfill that. And we always will, in her honor. I hold many examples close to my heart but then message was always the same. Integrity. High standards for yourself and others. Especially if you are a woman selecting a man. Be kind and gracious always. Enjoy life always. Face challenges with grace. See the best in others and yourself. She is a true lady and a true Queen. I am heartbroken for Tania and Adria. Their loss is immeasurable. I have been crying since I heard that Lety made the crossover to the beyond. They say that people only speak of the virtues of those who have passed, but in this case there are truly only the very best memories, excellent character, true grace strength and beauty to behold. We will carry you in our hearts until we meet again. Have fun wherever you are and send strength to Tania and Adria. We love you.

So happy Lety came back to Maryland for a visit last summer. Made some special and cherished memories. A beautiful lady who always showed kindness and love to our family, and always beautifully styled in her appearance. So thankful we are family. We will deeply miss Lety.
With much love and comfort,
Sally & Jaye Hastings and family

Lety was a beautiful woman inside and out! I will always remember and appreciate her for making my husband and I feel welcome in Houston. She was our neighbor and friend. When we moved back to CT we remained friends and would visit each other. On one visit, Lety made me a Christmas decoration for our front door. She loved her glue gun! I will keep that decoration forever in memory of her.

I will never forget your beautiful smile and kind soul. After a long week of teaching, I always looked forward to girl's night out on Fridays with you, Wendy, and Pam for dinner and a movie. The love, laughter, and sometimes tears we shared will live in my heart forever. May you rest in eternal peace.

We’ve lost one of the greatest educators I’ve ever had the honor of learning from at Lewis Elementary, HISD. Mrs. Leticia Favela was more than just a teacher—she was a leader with a heart bigger than the classroom and a spirit that lifted everyone around her.

She was the teacher I strived to be. Her compassion, dedication, and unwavering belief in her students shaped so many lives—including mine. Mrs. Favela will truly be missed, but her legacy lives on in every one of us she inspired.
