CHICAGO, IL --
Family and classmates share grief and sorrow after a 9-year-old Desire Jackson, a student at the Morton School of Excellence in Humboldt Park, died of meningitis Wednesday.
Teachers at the school had a special name for Desire.
"Chicago sassy is how we described her. A kid who had the sass, but was super friendly, nice, entertaining," said Ryan Trauger, gym teacher and soccer coach.
As Desire spent the last several days in the hospital fighting meningitis Jennifer Strattman, her teacher for three years, sat by her bedside.
