On December 2, 2025, our hearts were shattered when Ivana Balistreri and her beautiful baby girl, Lilliana, were tragically killed in the Highway 87 accident involving a Tesla. Losing them has destroyed our family in a way words can barely express. Two bright, innocent, loving souls were taken from us far too soon.

Ivana was truly one of the purest spirits we have ever known. She never judged, never gossiped, and loved everyone around her with her whole heart. She was gentle, kind, and full of life. To lose someone so young, so pure, and so unbelievably special feels unbearably unfair.

Baby Lilliana—our sweet Lilly Bean—brought so much joy in her short time here. Her smile, her sweetness, and her light will stay with us forever.

This is the deepest pain our family has ever experienced. As we navigate this impossible loss, we are asking for support to help cover funeral expenses, legal fees, and to give Ivana and Lilly the services they deserve.

If anyone has videos or information from the accident, please send them to help the family in the investigation.

Rest in peace, our beautiful Ivana and our precious Lilly Bean. We love you both endlessly. ❤️
