With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved Valerie Cecilia Saldana on May 12, 2026. Valerie was deeply loved by so many, an incredible daughter, sister, aunt, and loyal friend who brought warmth and joy wherever she went. She had a beautiful spirit that lit up every room, and those who knew her were truly blessed by her genuine kindness, laughter, and love. Valerie gave her family and friends 31 unforgettable years filled with smiles, friendship, and cherished memories.

On May 12, Valerie passed peacefully due to lung complications, surrounded by her immediate family and wrapped in love and grace. Valerie was born with Down syndrome, and her resilience and positivity inspired everyone around her. During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for support to help the family with funeral and medical expenses. Any donation, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden and allow the family to focus on honoring Valerie’s life and memory.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. Valerie will forever live on in our hearts.
