She left behind a lot of loving friends that cared for her. Shayna also had another family she is survived by a father Gordo, a grandmother Milagros, her uncles Junior, Carlos, Chuck and Tito. She has a-lot of loving cousins. A step mom Chas who loved her.

Shay adored her siblings she leaves behind Gabriele, Brianna, Lexi and Nathaniel. Shayna was a very smart young lady that always had a smile on her face. She had the most beautiful smile. Her bright eyes were full of life. She was the type of person that would always willingly help others. She put others before herself. She was funny, fashionable, loving, friendly and genuinely kind to everyone. She loved her family and was very family oriented. She was quirky and silly. She looked forward to birthdays, holidays and celebrating anything. She was honest and humble. She was a great friend to everyone. She loved to laugh. She was a well-rounded young lady. She loved all different types of people, all different types of music (even Korean pop). She changed her hair color monthly (lol) She was bold and never shy about trying new things. She was by far a great granddaughter she loved her nana with her entire soul and looked after her all the time. She was a wonderful big cousin and checked in on them always. She was a great niece she loved her aunts and uncles so much. She was a normal down to earth awesome sister, they bickered, they protected each other, they ganged up on me, they defended each other, they loved each other. She was our baby.

We are proud of the woman she was, what she stood for and how outrageously smart she was especially with numbers and figuring things out, her mind was one of a kind, she had a gentle touch and a big heart. She never hesitated to tell us she loved us all the time and loved to give hugs. She will always be my sunshine. The memories of her will continue through our love, strength and all the family support we’ve got. May our angel rest in peace. We love you Shay.
