Help Support Gloria, Alma, and Fernando's Legacy
Donation protected
On 5/29/25, my aunt Gloria Tapia, cousin Alma Tapia Waite, and nephew Fernando Ramirez Sr. were taken from us. Our hearts were shattered by the devastating and senseless loss of our family members These three incredible souls were tragically taken from us in an act of violence that no family should ever have to endure. Also Juan Ramirez is left in critical condition fighting for his life.
Three generations were taken from us far too soon — a beloved grandmother, Gloria Tapia; her only daughter, Alma Tapia Waite; and her grandson, Fernando Ramirez.
They were more than victims— they were beloved family members, and friends. Gloria Tapia dedicated her life to her children, grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Whether it was her comforting words, her home-cooked meals, or her unwavering support, she gave selflessly and wholeheartedly. Her legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and deep love, Alma Waite was truly the life of the party. Her laugh was one of a kind. Her energy was infectious, her stories unforgettable, and her heart absolutely unmatched. She gave love freely, danced without shame, and reminded us all not to take life too seriously. Her presence was a gift, and their absence leaves a space that can never be filled, and Fernando Ramirez was a light in this world-someone who never hesitated to help a friend, a neighbor, or even a stranger.
He was a proud and devoted parent to four incredible sons, and two granddaughters who are now left to carry forward the legacy of kindness, strength, and compassion.
We are asking for donations to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, support the families left behind, and ensure these beautiful lives are honored with the dignity and love they deserve.
No donation is too small. If you can't contribute financially, we kindly ask that you share this campaign to help us reach as many people as possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, love, and prayers during this unthinkable time.
