Josie Ayala

On the 10th anniversary of Josie's passing, I am remembering her kind heart and her passion for life. You will always be missed.

Coach A,
Words cannot express how honored I am to have met you. You were my coach for 4 years and you were nothing less than a great role model and mentor. I cannot describe the sadness I feel to know tha you are no longer here but know that we will never forget you. Thank you for all that you have done, for your unconditional love and care and most of all for always being yourself. You are greatly loved and missed. See you on the otherside Coach!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIA!!!!! WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY.

To Josie's Family and Loved Ones,
I am visiting from my home in Oregon, and I just heard the news today. I am deeply saddened that Josie's light has left us. Even though I hadn't seen or spoken with Josie in years, I always expected I would see her again on the softball field some day. I played ball with Josie long ago and counted her as a friend. I am not surprised to see all the wonderful tributes in this guestbook. My life was better for having known her, and I treasure many...

Coach Ayala was a wonderful coach, teacher, and mentor. I had the privilege of meeting her my freshman year, and kept in touch with her throughout my high school years. When I left sports I got very different comments from the different coaches, but her words were always very encouraging. She was very supportive, specially during my senior year, and she played a large role in allowing me to be where I am today. I was saddened to learn of her departure and even more because I would not be able...
