A Mother's Farewell: Olivia and Deziree

With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Deziree Balderas the beautiful daughter of Olivia Salazar, who sadly passed on December 23, 2024.

Olivia's daughters passing has left an unimaginable void in her heart and is trying desperately to see, hug, hold and kiss her only daughter before she is truly gone. A loss no parent should ever have to go through. So we as her family are reaching out to all family and friends to help alleviate the financial burden to make arrangments so Olivia can go see her daughter in Florida and return home with her.

Deziree

She's gone. My 1st born, my only girl. My beautiful daughter. This isn't real but oh how real it is.

They say it's wrong to lose a child before your demise, and oh, how wrong it is.

You may lose so many that you love, but nothing can prepare or compare to this horrible news.

So many emotions all at once. The emptiness you can't describe. A hurt that can rip out your soul, and all you can do is pray and beg God to hold you up with his love and strength because without him, you can't do it.

Her beautiful smile that lit up a room. So many that loved her and missed her so much. She also loved you all in return.

Her best friend was her brother, who loved her so.

Her nephew and niece, whom she never got to know.

No second chances, and now it's too late

The life that she led has brought her this fate

Never to hold her when she was afraid.

Or see her happy when things went her way.

Keeping the same number so that maybe one day

She might call me and tell me that she's on her way

But her destiny and mine were never to be.

Now my baby's gone, but her soul is now free.

So many memories just keep flooding my mind.

From the moment of birth till the day that she died.

I want to scream, yell, and cry

It's a lie. It's not true.

So you sit there in shock. What else can I do?

My baby girl is gone and will never come home.

I wasn't there, and she died all alone.

I'm so sorry, my daughter, that I was so far away.

The hardest part will be missing you every minute, hour, day.

My beautiful daughter, ILOVE YOU.
