Rayla Rose Resto was born on March 1, 2024, to Victor and Kristen (Lara) Resto. She passed from this life on April 1, 2026—leaving behind a love far greater than her time here.

She was a spark of joy, a free and vibrant spirit, as wild and beautiful as her long, flowing curls. Rayla moved through life with laughter in her wake and love in her hands, always ready with hugs and kisses for those she cherished most.

Rayla adored her “Bubba,” her big brother Ezran, following him with wonder and affection. She had a special place in her heart for cats and was amused by the simplest treasures in life—all things pink, shared snacks (especially whatever her Mama was enjoying), and the comfort of being close to those she loved.

Her Dada was her whole world—her safe place, her joy, her home. In his arms, she was happiest. She was always the first to greet him when he got home with the best hugs and giggles.

With a gentle and caring heart, Rayla loved her baby dolls, cradling them close and feeding them their bottles as if she already understood the depth of love she so freely gave.

She laughed along with Bluey, especially Bingo—her “Pinko”—and Muffin, and found comfort in the familiar voices of Ms. Rachel and Ms. Moni.

Though her days were few, Rayla’s life was full—full of light, full of love, full of moments that will live on in the hearts of her parents, Victor and Kristen; her Bubba, Ezran; and her loving grandparents.

“Sometimes special people come into our lives, stay for a bit, and then they have to go… But the bit where they were here was happy, wasn’t it?” ~ Bluey
