Jaelyn Rose Glaz
June 18, 2009 β June 12, 2018
Jaelyn Rose Glaz, 8, was born on June 18, 2009 in Long Beach, California to Joshua and Jackie Glaz, and gained her Angel's wings on June 12, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.
Jaelyn inspired others to try harder. By seeing her work hard to overcome her own challenges, it reminded others to work harder as well. She helped teach us about our own strengths and gifts in this way. She also taught us how to be happy because she took joy in simple things β joy in seeing her family, joy in wearing her boots, joy in dancing, joy in spending time with her friends. We could look to her for an example of perseverance and inner strength, as she continued to fight battles in health and limitations that would crush many of us. She showed us what it is to be strong, because strength is not just found in being the biggest, the toughest or the fastest. Strength is found in one who keeps on going, keeps trying, day after day, long after others give up. In this way, she was our hero β just like Joshua, Jackie, Jonah, and Jordan who also kept on going, day after day, through the best times and through the hardest times. Jaelyn gave us the gift of perspective. She reminded us that most of our problems are not really problems, and to be grateful for what we have. We must savor the sweet, beautiful moments we have every day, because ultimately life is fragile and someday all too soon, we must say goodbye. Jaelyn taught us how to love without words, without limits, without reasons. Jaelyn was our rainbow. Through the tough times, through the adversity and the challenges and the pain, she shone through with a special light. Itβs not fair that she shone brightly for only a short time and then left us. Yet we can be assured that like the rainbow, she was a blessing from above. We can both mourn the loss of her life and we can celebrate the life she led and the lessons she gave us. For the best gift she gave us, was her very life. She was a gift. For all the ways she taught us about life and love, for all the ways she inspired us to be better, and for all the love she gave while she was here with us, she was a gift to each of us. May we never forget this beautiful gift. May we honor her memory every time we look up to the sky, look past the clouds and see the rainbow.
Jaelyn leaves behind her loving family: Father, Joshua Glaz, Mother, Jackie Glaz, Brother, Jonah Glaz, Brother, Jordan "Squishy" Glaz, Grandparents, Ellen and Ira Glaz and Maria and Luis Estevez, as well as several other family and friends who loved Jaelyn and will miss her dearly.
For Jaelyn's celebration of life, please wear bright colors in her honor, as she lived life full of rainbows, smiles and love.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to a very special organization called UCLA Child Life as they were a HUGE part of Jaelyn's journey.
