Mireya Yarel Salas, 23 months, of Lubbock, Texas went home to heaven on Saturday, May 26, 2018, in Omaha, Nebraska.
Mireya was often referred to as our “Sweet Lil Punkin Pie.” She was a ray of sunshine in our family with a sassy pants attitude. Mireya brought our family closer to God with daily intentional prayers for her. She gave us hope and blessed us with her precious infectious smile! We all love her very much and she will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
Mireya was born on June 9, 2016, to parents Ryan Salas and Victoria Samarripa.
Mireya’s loving family includes her paternal grandparents, Manuel and Margaret Gonzales; and aunt, Serena Salas. Maternal grandparents, George and Diana Rangel and maternal grandfather, Steven Samarripa; aunt and uncle, Kassandra and Dominic Mendez; aunts, Mia and Ava Rangel; uncle, Andrew Rangel; and cousins, Dominic Jr. and Darren Mendez.
Mireya was preceded in death by her uncle, D’Angelo Salas; and aunts, April and Mireya Salas.
We want to thank the many WONDERFUL caregivers that cared for our angel baby Mireya through her journey here on earth! We were extremely blessed by so many health care providers who deeply touched our lives and gave us the will and strength to endure throughout Mireya’s illnesses. We also want to thank all of our family and friends who walked along side us with their thoughts and prayers.
