Sharlene Alyssa Ayala

Our mother Patricia Romero was born on March 18, 1957 in Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua. She lived there until she moved to Los Angeles, California in 1976 and later moved to Riverside, California in 1990. She is survived by her 6 children Nora, Elsa, Christina, Mayra, Steve and Bryan. As well as 21 grandchildren and 2 great grand-daughters who all love her dearly.

Our niece/daughter Sharlene Alyssa Ayala was born on December 11, 2000 in Riverside, California where she resided her entire life. She is survived by her mother Mayra Alejandra Ayala, her siblings Valerie, Emily, Jason Jr and Jacob. As well as her four aunts, two uncles and many cousins who all love her dearly.

Our mother loved to dance, sing and crack jokes, and her laughter was inevitably contagious. Sharlene had the biggest smile that would brighten up the room and had a tender heart. She was a wonderful big sister. Our mother and niece/daughter were together from the day Sharlene was born and were inseparable. They lived together, went everywhere and did everything together. Our father in heaven knew they could not live without one another so he took them both together. They will forever be missed and carried in our hearts. We believe they are now both watching over us together, hand in hand.
