In memory of our beloved Daphane S. Salas, we gather here today to celebrate a life that left an indelible mark on all those fortunate enough to know her. Daphane, born on November 12th, 1986, peacefully passed away on August 8, 2023, at the age of 37. Though her time with us was tragically brief, the impact she made will resonate for generations to come.

Daphane was a vibrant soul whose light shone brightly wherever she went. Her infectious laughter and warm smile could brighten even the darkest of days. She possessed an unwavering spirit that inspired those around her to embrace life's joys and face its challenges head-on. Daphane's immense capacity for love and compassion filled the lives of all who were lucky enough to have her in theirs.

As a devoted mother, Daphane poured every ounce of her being into raising her three adoring boys - Gabrieal Patrick Trujillo, Michael Aris Trujillo, and Addicus Augustin Trujillo. The love and dedication she showered upon them knew no bounds, creating a bond that will endure beyond the boundaries of time. Her nurturing spirit will forever be etched into their hearts as they carry her legacy forward.

Daphane also treasured her family with immense intensity. She deeply cherished her mother, Erma Gonzales, and drew strength from the love they shared. Furthermore, she had a special place in her heart for her father Ronnie Salas and stepmother Sandi Salas. Daphane's extended family brought immense joy to her life - five brothers Jeremy, Fabian Garcia, Dustin, Dominic and Derek Hughes - along with stepfather David Hughes. She held them all close to her heart throughout her journey.

Friends flocked to Daphane like moths to a flame; such was the magnetic pull of her radiant personality. Her loyal and devoted friendships were a testament to the impact she had on those she encountered. To know Daphane was to experience a rare and profound connection, one that transcended superficial boundaries and ignited the soul.

Daphane's love for life was matched only by her courage in the face of adversity. She faced every obstacle with unwavering determination, never allowing setbacks to define her. Her resilience was an inspiration to all who witnessed her journey. Even in the most challenging times, Daphane stood tall, reminding us all of the strength that lies within us.

As we bid our final farewell to our beautiful angel, may we find solace in knowing that she has found peace in a place where pain and suffering cease to exist. Daphane's spirit will forever reside within our hearts, guiding us through life's trials and encouraging us to embrace each day with gratitude.

In remembrance of Daphane S. Salas, let us celebrate a life filled with love, kindness, and genuine connections. May her memory serve as a reminder of the importance of cherishing every moment we have with those we hold dear. Rest peacefully now, dear Daphane, knowing that your legacy lives on in the hearts and souls of all you touched.

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
