With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Gloria Joanna Salas, who left us far too soon at the age of four.
Gloria was a bright and beautiful light in the lives of everyone she encountered. Her laugh left a lasting mark on all who heard it, and her smile could light up any room. She had a special gift—she loved to be happy and would freely share her joy with everyone, even strangers, offering smiles that made the world feel warmer and kinder.
Gloria loved playing with makeup, dressing up in princess dresses, and enjoying her favorite candies. She brought magic into everyday moments—twirling like a princess, sparkling with color and creativity, and filling hearts with happiness wherever she went.
She was full of love and loved her family deeply. Gloria also held a special faith in God and found comfort in prayer, showing a gentle spirit beyond her years.
She showed incredible strength as she bravely fought leukemia, touching so many lives with her courage and spirit. Though her time here was far too short, she made an impact that will never fade.
Gloria is deeply loved and forever cherished by her parents, Jerry Salas and Ana Carvajal; her siblings, Jerry Salas, Olivia Salas, and Joziah Salas; and her grandparents, Gloria and Mateo. She will always remain in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her.
We will carry her love with us always. She will never be forgotten.
