Karter Fayth Salazar was born on January 27, 2016, to Anson and Ashley (Hatch) Salazar in Lubbock. She was born weighting 1 lb. 5 oz. and fought valiantly every day of her 10 months on this earth. On Monday her battle ended and Karter is now free of machines and pain. Our God is a God of comfort and love, and we know that she is sitting in the Lord’s lap.
Those left to cherish the memory of Karter’s miraculous life include her parents, Anson and Ashley; maternal grandparents, Vaneta and Mike Smith of NY; paternal grandparents, Anita and Mike Chavez of Lubbock; maternal great-grandmother, Evodia Collis of Lubbock; paternal great-grandparents, Antonia and Joe Gamboa of Plainview; and Connie and Noel Bowley of Ruidoso, NM; four aunts and uncles; and numerous cousins.
