She teaches us to love unconditionally and to never take life for granted. The family would like to think the UMC PICU team as well as Cook Children's PICU for doing everything they could do for "Evie".

She is survived by her parents Casey Saiz and Mona-Lisa Rios; sister Ekko Grace Saiz; paternal grandparents John and Betty Saiz; maternal grandparents John and Peggy Rios; great-grandparents Jose Rodriguez and Maria Rodriguez and step grandparent Billy Johnson.
