I miss you so much. Life will never be the same without you
I miss you. So much. You were there in a time where I didn’t know I needed you. You were the ray of shine everyone needed. I’ll never understand why you. Why now. But I know you will always make sure we are ok. Thank you for everything you have done for me then and now. I will miss you so so much.


Tia Ila was truly the life of the party. I will never forget Christmas Eve’s at her house - because of her, it is my favorite holiday! I will always treasure the memories from those parties! She was the selfie queen and always found a reason to say “let’s party!” When I told her I was pregnant, it was only fitting we took shots. LOL! I will miss you forever, Tia Ila. Little Reia will know how amazing her Tia was and how she’s watching us in heaven with Tia Maria & Granpda Joey. We love you forever.
There are no words to describe the void Tia Ila leaves behind. Her presence can light up a stadium! Her smile and positive energy bounced off the walls. How lucky we all are to have had her soul in our lifetime and share the unforgettable memories we had with her. She was the life of the party. We will meet her again in heaven and when we get there she will have the party to celebrate our welcoming. Tia I love you and I will live life in the present how you've always taught us.
