Paying Tribute to Julianna Abballo

The unexpected death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one can prepare for. As many of you have heard, our friends, Christian and Jolene Abballo lost their 14 year old daughter, an 8th grader at Camino Elementary school, unexpectedly in a tragic hit and run accident last night. She has left behind 6 young siblings that are reeling from this tremendous and sudden loss. And, our small, yet tightknit community is devastated and truly heart broken for this young family.

 

Julianna had a shy yet very sweet personality and a laugh that could light up a room. The love and joy that Julianna brought to her family and everyone that loved her is such an unimaginable loss. She will never be forgotten.

 

No amount of words can express the pain Christian, Jolene, her brothers, sisters, and family are feeling. They are very grateful for everyone's condolences, love, and prayers, and are searching to find their strength during such a dark time.

 

Some of you have reached out and asked how you can help during this time. Know that your kindness is much appreciated as they navigate through this heart breaking time. Any donations collected will help offset the cost of Julianna's funeral arrangements, provide counseling services so desperately needed, and anything else the family needs to help them navigate

this tragedy.
