Ms. Canez was a loved friend, teacher, co-worker and community member.  She started her career with Miami Unified School District over 26 years ago as a general education teacher and then moved into special education.  Ms. Canez had a kind heart and gave her all to her family and students.  Her ability to encourage her students to be better than they thought possible and the friendship she provided, leaves a legacy to all of us.  Her sense of humor, dedication, and ability to teach will be greatly missed.  We are a family here at Miami Unified School District and Ms. Canez will be missed by all.  Our prayers go out to her family, friends, and students during this difficult time.
