Lilyana was born at Texas Health Resources Hospital in Plano, TX to Leah and Nickolas Cirksena.
She was a wise strong willed spirit that learned things way too fast on her own. She loved her family, animals , babies , children and her friends and teachers that were understanding and good to her. She was funny and had a unique laugh. She protected others from bullying and all thought she could be a handful once you got to know her you loved her endlessly. She was not scared to speak what was on her mind. That could be good and bad but she was real and honest. She loved her cat Wheeler who still lives at her home with her baby sister Rosealeah and her mom and dad. And she adored her new adopted dog Damon. Lilyana had a beautiful singing voice and although she was in the HS choir at Mabank HS she never got to do a solo to show everyone how beautifully she could sing.
She passed away very suddenly after a night out with friends where adults were throwing a party. They drank alcohol and it causes Lily to aspirate over night and go into sepsis. She begged her mom to get her. They got her to the GBC ER where she begged to go home but they had to put her in an induced coma and ventilate her. She passed away in the ER before they could care flight her to Cook Childrens PICU in front of her parents and close family and close family friends.

Lily everyday that passes without you is so damp. I miss you with all my heart, It's not the same without you here. I will never understand why it had to be you, I will never forget our nail dates and shopping sprees we went on together. I wish we could've lived close together forever, there was never a dull moment when you were around you brought laughter and smiles to any room you were in. Shine Bright until we meet again. Love you
I will forever be thankful of all of the memories we have created. Growing up with you was the most fun and some of the most crazy times all together. The fights and laughs I would not change any of it for a second. We bonded and we always begged our parents to hang out and take us to shop. I miss it. I love you- Angellia
