With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Erika, a devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Erika left this world far too soon, leaving behind the light of her life: her beautiful daughter, Gabriella.

Anyone who knew Erika knew just how deeply she loved Gabriella. Her every breath, every decision, every dream was centered around her little girl. Erika often said that Gabriella was her whole world, and anyone who saw them together felt the unbreakable bond they shared. She loved her more than life itself.

Erika was radiant, full of laughter, strength, and compassion. Her warmth touched everyone she met, and her absence leaves a silence that words cannot fill. While we mourn her passing, we also want to honor her legacy, the unwavering love she had for her daughter.

This GoFundMe has been created to support Gabriella in the wake of this devastating loss. All funds raised will go directly toward her care, education, and emotional support as she navigates life without her mother by her side.

We know Erika would want nothing more than to see her daughter thrive, surrounded by love and support. If you are able, we humbly ask you to consider donating, sharing, or sending your thoughts and prayers for Gabriella and all who loved Erika.

Thank you for keeping Erika’s memory alive through your kindness.

With love and gratitude,

Audrey Delgado, Jerry Risius, Isabella Risius, Eric Zelwian, Zulema Zelwian, and Joshua Zelwian
