Serena Rea

To my best friend, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your daughter. My heart aches for you and the boys.

I’m wishing you moments of peace and comfort, and that the love you shared and your beautiful memories help carry you through this incredibly difficult time. I’m always here for you.

To anyone who ever got the pleasure to get to know Serena knows that there was no better words to describe the way Serena lit up anyone’s lives she touched. I hope that she sees herself in the way the world saw her.. As a beautiful-beautiful soul with so much love to give. In the many years I knew Serena she never let me feel less than and she always reminded me of how amazing and beautiful she thought I was. I write this today because I wish for one more time I could tell her how beyond amazing and beautiful she is just to cuddle and jam out, get all dolled up, and to just talk about life with her even once more. No matter what I have never been anything short of proud of the way she held herself and pushed though anything life threw her way. Her charismatic personality and her god sent patience for people is something I praised her for constantly. Serena you are deserving of so so so much love and support I love you beyond words and I am so thankful you chose me to be your best friend for the many years we had together. This was your world and we were just living it. Rest in paradise, you will forever be the realest and best friend i have and ever will have. there will never be a day that passes were I don’t think of you. Serena’s world forever❤️

Beautiful girl who always lit up a room with her big smile and laughter I will never forget all the fun we used to have together. You will be deeply missed.

Our deepest sympathies and most loving thoughts are with you, Connor and Douglas. May memories of the good times help you through such a tough and terrible loss. Such a beautiful soul lost too soon.

Much love,
Heather and Aunt Angie

You were such a sweet and wonderful person to know and, I hope you knew you were so loved and appreciated in this world💗. Rest easy sweet angel..

I’m heartbroken to hear of Serena’s passing. Serena and I were best friends since kindergarten, we clicked immediately and were always by each other’s sides. We made sure to always sit together at school and do every school project together. Serena was a wonderful person and an amazing best friend. She was kind, courageous, generous, supportive, and always there when you needed her. I will forever cherish all the fun memories we had together growing up. All of our sleepovers, birthdays parties, after school hangouts, walks home together, when we would make bracelets and crafts together, when we would play with our monster high dolls and stuffed animals. Serena is my forever best friend, and she will always be a sister to me, I miss you so much & I love you forever❤️

Serena was so special to me in so many different ways. I can’t quite put my finger on what initially made me so drawn to her as a girly friend, but there was just something about the way she carried herself that made me notice her immediately. We became incredibly close during my last years of high school. I was significantly older than her, yet I somehow genuinely looked up to her in so many ways.
The way she did her hair and makeup, how she never tolerated disrespect, how she was always so honest but also sweet and hilarious 24/7-she was pure and genuine. She would cook for me, get me snacks, do my makeup, help me with whatever I needed, cry with me, and stand up for me always. If Serena cared about you, you knew it. If Serena loved you, you knew it. She loved deeply and loyally, and that loyalty was something so sacred to her, but never something she ever boasted about. At her core, she was a profoundly loyal young woman and friend, as well as a loving baby girl, which is what I saw underneath her fierce personality.
Serena, to me, was my baby cakes. She protected me, but I still like to believe I protected her sometimes too. I expected to see her grow old and make millions because, yes, she absolutely would have. She was beyond intelligent for her years, something proven through the many life conversations and pieces of advice she would give me. She would look me in the eyes and mean everything she said. She uplifted me so much to the point where I knew never to speak negatively about myself in front of her, because she genuinely wouldn’t allow it.
So many things are going through my head as I write this, but Serena was one of the most impactful individuals in my life. To me, she lives forever, and I will carry her presence and her soul with me for the rest of my life. I love you Serena. May you be at eternal peace and may your family have strength.
