Happy Birthday friend, I miss you everyday!  

I miss you too much!!!!  I love you too much!!!  

Leah, from doing all nighters for school work to talks on your aunt’s porch in Monrovia, you gave me memories in what seems like a short time that will last for my whole lifetime. And I’ll always be thankful for you. 

Friend, your birthday is coming up very soon and all I can say is that I miss you every single day. I have your picture up in my little room that I get ready in, I talk to you all the time, do you hear me? You have not visited my dreams in a while, I can only imagine that you are busy in heaven, watching over all of us and laughing at the silliness that is going on here on earth.  I would give anything to hear your laugh but until that time, I take so much comfort in knowing that you are free of pain and that nothing can hold you back from having pure joy and peace. I love you, I miss you.   

I am  saddened to just learn of Leah's passing. Leah is a truly special person: kind, sensitive, always smiling and laughing, and so positive. I met her because she interned at a museum I worked at and I kept in touch because I saw many special things in her. I reached out to her a couple of years ago because out of the hundreds of qualified people I could think of, she stood out in my mind—I wanted her to lead a public art program at a museum not only because of her talent, but because of her genuine spirit, integrity, and work ethic. 

Leah never wanted to inconvenience anyone, so she didn't make her illness seem very serious. It sounded like she would be just fine. Her presence was always so strong, and still is, she has been on my mind and so I am saddened to find this page. My heartfelt condolences to Leah's friends and family.

My Dearest Leah,
Your passing is so surreal cousin, life seems bland now that your light is no longer here 2 brighten this dull world. U were such a peaceful & loving individual, I enjoyed the personal conversations we had & all the solid advice u gave me. Your death is both untimely & unjust, I mourn u on a profound level & wish things would have transpired differently. But I will attempt 2 remain positive, as u so graciously modeled. I love u as my cousin & I love u as my friend. U were my girl Lillith,  u will remain w/me always. And I will take care of Phil, no worries.
Much love, your prima Karla Roo

Leah,

I had the privilege of living with you for a year, what a fun year that was. I remember you always woke up like a happy little bear making your way to the kitchen to see what to eat. Remember when you broke my TV? Lol, you bought me a 19” to make up for it. You are hilarious for doing that. I don’t know how to make sense of you being sick or gone. It doesn’t fit with everything we lived through as friends. I am forever grateful for the art piece you made Lola. I love you forever and ever. May you be in a better place as beautiful as you. 

Love, 
Lizeth

Leah, 

Your passing came as a shock and I am still in disbelief.  We had not spoken for  a while but how could I ever forget a loving heart such as yours. I loved your personality- what a great sense of humor and what a beautiful soul you have. I will keep you and all of your family in my prayers. 
Until I see you again,

Fr. Alex Rodarte 

Leah, I’ve read the post your friends and loved ones have shared. I also will always remember your beautiful smile , laughter and the time you have spent with our family. You were a special friend to Matthew and you have left a void in his life. I pray for your family and loved ones and I’m thankful to have known you. May the loving arms of God surround your family. 

Leah Gloria,

I remember the day you asked me to move to LA with you. It didn't take me long to say yes.  With that look and smile you would give me. It was very convincing, but I'm glad that I made that choice. Those were the best times of my life. I had so much fun being around you, going thrift store shopping and  how little by little I started looking like your twin. I'm going to miss helping you on your crazy art project's, like that one time you had me pose with nothing on but my briefs and how you would burst out laughing when I would give you that look of mine. Thank you for being amazing, for all the great memories, and for being part of my life. I will always cherish these moments. You helped us bond a good group of friends that will love you forever. I'll miss you Leah Gloria! Can't wait for another bear hug!

Love always,

Leah... From the moment we first met as little girls to grown women, you have been and Always will be my Day One. Our Friendship had everything that most people can’t ever Experience and for that I am Forever Grateful and beyond Thankful for God Blessing me with a Best Friend like you. All the years and Memories we made will never be lost, for they will remain locked in My Heart till I’m reunited with you and get to see that Beautiful face and Smile of yours. I miss you, BabyGirl... I Loved You and will Always Love You. 

See you when I get there, Sunflower 



Leah only looked like a beautiful porcelain doll.  Creativity filled her mind and essence will always be love and compassion.

Two weeks before Leah died I had a dream that told me I had to reach out and visit. From the moment I walked into Leah’s room Jesus kept popping into my mind. His presence was so strong that I told Leah it was ok for her to be angry and it’s also ok for her to ask God why. That he would give her the answers. I then shared with Leah that I asked God why my mother and others suffer so much before their death and all that would come to my mind was that it was because of his grace.  Which I did not understand until I was given a glimpse of God’s Grace during Leah’s passing. 

That last visit I had with Leah she was suffered excruciating pain yet Leah had a beautiful smile and while I kept praying and praying over her asking God for complete healing, Leah always remained very patient and considerate. Most important though were Leah’s eyes, instead of  being filled with annoyance cause this crazy aunt who she hardly sees won’t let her be and rest. Her eyes were radiating with so much love. 

This was Leah and always will be her essence, love and compassion.

After some reflection I understood what God’s Grace meant. Leah could have been self centered, angry and mean. No one would have blamed her.  Leah instead chose to put her pain on the sidelines  and chose selflessly to be considerate, patient and loving to an aunt she hardly ever saw, that could have been a stranger. 

Just like Jesus, Leah chose at her most weakest point in life to give the greatest gift you can bestow another. True genuine love, a love that can only be given by God’s Grace.  

Leah was chosen to walk in Jesus’s footsteps. Leah carried her own cross of suffering and at her death all that loving essence that Leah is radiated in the heavens above as she walked into his glorious arms.

RIP Leah. May God give you eternal joy.

Love you always,
Veronica Navor

I didn’t have a close bond with Leah like some of my friends did, however, her being and her laugh has remained with me over the years. 

When I attend a concert where I know moshing will happen, I’ll always remember telling Leah that mosh pits are “violent but friendly” and I'll never forget her puzzled look on her face.

A group of us attended a Molotov concert at the Grove of Anaheim and moshing had become the topic of conversation while we all enjoyed our drinks near the bar. 

Fast forward to myself and I’m sure Ryan and Chiwi were in the same mosh pit as I was. Leah must have been on the outside looking in or maybe she participated in the festivities, I can’t recall.

After one of Molotov’s songs had finished, I took a break from the pit and found Leah in the crowd. 

“I get it!”, with the smile that we all have in our hearts.

Rest easy friend

Leah, I am forever grateful that I got a chance to know you and be your friend. There was a time in our lives where it felt like we were attached at the hip. I will never forget playing b-ball with you and being your land-mate. You were such a great influence in my life and I will always be grateful for that. I miss your big bear hugs and your beautiful laugh. There are so many memories that I will always keep close to my heart. I love you, my dude. Me and granny are sending our love to you and your family. 

Love forever, 
Bernal 

Leah, I remember meeting you at Valley College and being so impressed with your love and curiosity for life. I knew you were going to add so much beauty to this world. 
One 4th of July, we went to the park to watch the fireworks. From the moment we got into the car, it was all laughs and dumb jokes. Talking about nothing in particular but having the best time. That’s how it always was with you, no matter what was going on, your smile and personality lit up the room. You did everything with passion and just sucked everyone into your big hugs and bigger laugh. I love you Leah. I hope you are resting. 


Leah, you were always our rock.. As little as we were, you always made me feel accepted. I was different and that was ok with you. You had the softest heart but your exterior said different.. With your beautiful laugh and  silly hand gestures, you always made me feel at ease.. You didn’t just open up to anyone.. I felt honored to be your friend.. Remember our first ditch day at Golden Valley?! Lol.. After our moms  we promised  we’d never do it again.. I miss you Leah.  Te quiero mucho mi Gloria... 
                  See you soon Amiga! 

I still remember the first day I met you with that beautiful flower in your wild hair. You are a beautiful memory that I will cherish forever . Thank you for all the laughs, the dances and the random bathroom photos we used to take.  I love you Leah <3 

Leah Gloria,

You were such an amazing friend, love bug, a bear hugger, and an inspiring individual. I have many memories of our time spent together that will remain with me. From the aimless driving, singing silly songs, dancing to rock en español, and even those moments when we would sit in pure comfortable silence. One of my favorite moments was with you, Cha Cha, Chiwi and Nicole- we were ringing in the new year and we stuffed our mouths with grapes, “packed our suitcases” and chanted, “cash money”! We all knew this was silly but we had so much fun.

I love that we were all able to experience all the great things you offered. You were so cool! Your beautiful laugh, smile, your big brown eyes, and great sense of humor. I miss you and I will never forget you Leah! I love you!

Leah, you were an awesome dance partner and a shining bright light. I have many memories of you, but none of them compare to that laugh or your great big hugs. You will be missed greatly. 



I met Leah through my brother Andres, they lived together in Los Angeles while she was going to school for her Art, as you may know she was creative had the best smile and best hugs.

She invited a group of friends to a showing of her art for a project named The Hex, i remember her being really hard on herself about her art at first, i wanted to take a photo of her next to her work but she was not into it.  A little time pass and she finally was open to a photo, I had to take at least a dozen photos to get one good one because she kept laughing and covering her face. 
she will always be remembered for having the biggest smile and kindest heart by all of us. 

She will be miss.

The photo i'm sharing was from that night. 


I had a party at my house, and invited some friends of Leah’s. I had seen this Leah chick around, but I really didn’t know her. Late into the party I found her alone in my room. The moment I walked in she flashed a huge smile, and told me “I like you, let’s be friends.”  She  then took my phone and plugged in her number. That was it, let the adventure begin.  

A warrior one tough lady.  The strength you carried.  A bright light with your shades and hues of colors in your smile and art. Your humanity endless sharing your gift with special needs artists which you guided with your understanding  and compassion.  An adventurer enjoying nature especially on boat trips to Nev. and Utah with family and Uncle Dale where we got up close with Bucky Beaver.  An enjoyable roommate while attending Cal Poly with our talks bouncing off ideas, suggestions and plans. A hidden musician you could play a mean guitar. You will be in our hearts each and everyday.  Love you lots  Rest In Peace. Aunt Colleen, Aunt Janice  and Uncle Mike

I will always remember her as my wild and crazy cousin! She was always the life of anywhere she went. She was a very talented artist(jealous) wish I was as talented as her. She had a fire and passion for anything she set her mind to. I will miss you everyday and think about you often, but always know you will always be in my heart everywhere I go, and I will see you again one day and we can have our messy bun crew reunited!! Love you bunches XOXO

Sweet spirit and a sweet soul.  I was not around that much only on special family occasions living out of state made it a bit hard.  But what I do remember is her beautiful smile and her talent with art.  I will miss you Leah but I know this, you are in the best place ever.  Meeting Jesus face to face.  I will see you someday again.   


My sister is everything lovely and bright, she's the bird's song in the early morning and the peaceful still of twilight. She's the life of the party and the loudest laugh in the room. With a spirit as wild as her hair I should have known that God would not wait long before he would want her near him again. I don't know how to keep walking forward or to even keep breathing but I do know that I will avoid Lauren Hill at all costs and that I will be punched in the gut, bulled over, and shaken to my core the next time I hear Brown Eyed Girl. I can't live a life without her next to me so instead I will take her with me all the places I go my whole life long. Love you Babe, Nin 

My son Mario sent this picture of when he & Leah used to "hang out".

My sincere condolences to the entire Gloria family.

Heaven gained another angel.

Rest in Peace Leah.

Sharon Castillo

I still remember Leah as that little girl. That smile, those eyes, that laugh. I'm blessed to know her and her family and all the love that they have for each other and others. She is that bright shining star that burns forever in our hearts.

Love you Leah.

Cindy Martinez
