Jalene Salinas Obituary

October 25, 2010 - March 15, 2015
Born October 25th, 2010, Jalene Estella Salinas came in to this world ready to make her mark. What her family didn't know, was just how big that impact would be. Her smile was infectious. You couldn't help but smile back when you saw it. She was a happy child who loved to dance, dress up like a princess and spend time with her family. She always thought of her brother and sister, even before herself, and often told her Mom that she loved everybody the same, because she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. After a brave battle with brain cancer, Jalene earned her angel wings at the age of 4, on Sunday evening, March 15th, 2015. She was surrounded by loved ones at her home, in San Antonio, Texas, when she went to be with the Lord. She is preceded in death by her Grandparents Frank & Stella Salinas, Oscar Regino Sr.; her Aunt Julie Salinas; and her cousins Tania Regino, Christopher Lesa, and Brian Salinas.

She is survived by her Mother, Jen Salinas; her Father, Tony Luna; her older Brother BJ Arriaga; older Sister Zoe Arriaga; her younger Brother Joshua Luna; her Grandparents Roy & Beatrice Salinas; her Great Grandmother Manuela Regino; aunt: Veronica Portillo; uncles: Adrian and Fabian Salinas; many loving great aunts, uncles and cousins; and her close friends Lilli, Mason, Walker and Rowan. In Jalene's four short years here on Earth, she affected more people than most of us will in a lifetime. Her story of bravery and courage, all while donning a smile, reached people all over the world, especially in her quest to fulfill her Bucket List, and "Shake it Off" with Taylor Swift. With the help of the community who fell in love with her, she accomplished this feat, as well as attending her Disney Make-A-Wish Trip, meeting the Spurs and the Spurs Silver Dancers, seeing snow, building a snowman, visiting her cousins in California, seeing sand, having a Spa Day, receiving electric Power Wheels vehicles and dozens of charms from all over the country for her charm bracelets. The entire community of San Antonio, and beyond, rallied around her and her family in the final months of her battle. She was even made an Honorary Member of the San Antonio Fire Department and became a Bexar County Junior Deputy, both tributes that made her smile even brighter. When she was first diagnosed, Jalene told her family, "God only wants me to be sick for a little while." She knew her time here was limited. Perhaps, that is why she made such a big impact, on the hearts of so many, as quickly as she could. The message that her family would like to share is this: Love everyone the same. Smile at everybody, always, and people will smile back at you. Shake off the bad stuff. That is how Jalene lived, it is how she fought, and it is how they would like her memory to live on through others.

Jalene's Funeral Service will be open to the public on March 20, 2015, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Live the Life Southills SA, 5595 E. Hwy 87, San Antonio, Texas 78222. There is limited seating, so when they reach capacity, it will become a walk through viewing.

The family thanks the community for their outpouring of love and support, but asks for privacy as they lay Jalene to rest at her final resting place on Saturday.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I remember the first time I saw Jalenes page on Facebook I immediately liked her page every morning I woke up immediately went on to her page just to see how Jalene was doing that day Jalene gave me hope she gave me strength she gave me a reason to smile each and every day I've never met Jalene in person but Jalene stole my heart many miles away up here in Iowa from day one of seeing her Facebook page she was just a remarkable beautiful precious little girl when she passed I woke up that morning I sat down with my cup of coffee opened up Facebook to go to her page and immediately I saw the sadness of her passing within a minute out of nowheres my front window was open and the wind just Blew as hard as it could my curtains just flew in the air as the wind was blowing it only lasts for a minute or two and the wind died down for some reason I felt like that was Jalen telling me im okay jalene will always be a part of my heart because she was the little girl that gave me a reason to wake up and count the blessings of life

Prayers for the family and may God Bless Jalene!

She has inspired many of us to be strong when fighting diseases and cancer we cannot control. She has given me the strength to not give up.
I will continue to pray for her and the family.

Once again...sorry for your loss but it was such a blessing to know her story and follow it daily as she touched so many hearts including mine.
May she rest in peace and she dance her beautiful soul out through the gates of heaven.

Words alone cannot express how Jalene touched my heart deeply just by following her journey.
She has left an imprint on my heart even though I didn't know her personally but just by seeing her radiant beautiful angel face, I knew that God made her special and with a heart full of love. He used her to reach many people in different ways and show her strength, faith and courage no matter what she was going through. She was an amazing little girl and she will be missed by so many lives she has inspired and touched. What a precious little girl she was.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Jalene was a a blessing from God above.

God bless,
Loretta Larsen

My daughters ( 6 and 4 ) and I have been following Jalene's journey for a couple of months. Every night we would look at her posts, watch her videos and pray for her. They loved to watch her videos. When we found out Jalene went to be with the Lord my 4 year old cried and was so sad. She cried herself to sleep. Jalene truly had a purpose with her joyous spirit and smile. Jalene and her mother are a true inspiration and an example of being joyful in the darkest moments. Jalenes smile and personality spread light all over the world. We are sending love, comfort and prayers from Colorado as you lay your sweet angel to rest.

Carmen Sanchez

Rest in peace beautiful angel! Jalene you are now smiling down from heaven, sitting on Jesus lap. I could just see you telling Jesus stories on your time here on earth. Jalene your courage, love, kindness, always thinking of others, fighting spirit and your love for everyone that always shined from you face touched my heart.
Jalene you are now your family's guardian angel, smiling, showering your family with kisses and love. You will be missed and you will always be in their hearts, to include those of us that followed your beautiful life. May God bless you and your family, go play, dance and sing in heaven little angel!

To the entire Salinas Family, our most heartfelt condolences. Even though, like many, I never physically met Jalene she became a member our family as we followed her journey!! Jalene touched so many and she will forever live in our hearts!! May everyone celebrate her life and let us all continue to live by her example: Love each other!! God called this little angel home and she will forever be smiling down on us all. May God bless you and give your family the strength you will need in the following days. !!! I saw this poem and wanted to share it with your family:
To my dearest family
There are some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I have arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life of earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, I welcome you!
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, as you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me list of things, that he wished for me do;
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, with the days chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to youin the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relive pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you really wouldn't understand.
There is one thing for certain, although my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now, that I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by just taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too
That as you give unto the world, the world will give back to you.
If you can ever help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
Then you can say to God at nightMy day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile;
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when its time for you to go from that body to be free,
Remember that you're not going You're coming here to me.

Virginia Gonzales
