The body of El Paso shooting victim Elsa Mendoza de la Mora was returned to Mexico in a hearse that crossed the Puente Libre Bridge in Ciudad Juarez.

Mendoza was one of eight Mexican victims killed in Saturday's shooting at Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The shooting left 22 people dead and dozens others injured.

She was a teacher and director of an elementary school, CNN affiliate KTSM reported.

"Thank you very much to all the people who have been attentive to my family and me. I know my mother will get all that love that we share," her son Antonio posted to his Facebook page.

"Beautiful and beloved Mexico,
If I die far away from you,
may they say that I'm asleep,
and may they bring me here."
