GERALDINE LOYA Obituary

"GABBI" Geraldine Loya Born March 26, 1963 to MaryAnn and Gerald Schmidt. Gabbi was given her wings on August 9, 2010 to join her Fallen Angel Paisan and continue their ride into the wide open skies. Her greatest treasures in life were her 13 unique and amazing grandchildren. "Oma, you are now truly our Guardian Angel and will forever be in our hearts." Accompanied in life by her loving man, Greg "Apex" Simmons, children, Sabrina and Feliciano Aguilar, Jontue and Richard Chavez, Anjela Harris and Tony Carlson, Bobbie and Hugo Olaguiver, Robert Harris and Elena Clark and sister, Karol Nieser. All of the children would like to make a special thanks to Apex "The Rock" in our mom's life for all you have done and who you are. We will be forever grateful you have and always will be in our lives. We miss you today, tomorrow and forever!

To the Loya family,
It doesn't seem that long ago that I planned the funeral for Greg. Gabbi would call me every once in a while just to check in and see how things were going. I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss. I am very happy that she will be united with paisan. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Love Debbie and Gene Evans

Where do you begin to say and express comfort to those who have had such a sudden lose in their young lives. Jontue and Angela you have always been amazing strong woman, continue to live and love as your Mom taught you, always talk to your children about the wonderful woman who was and still is a part of who they are. May God hold you and comfort you in the days ahead. Time does lesson the pain.
