In Memory of Ana Giraldo

It pains us to say that after multiple hospitalizations, and a 5 year battle against liver disease, Ana Giraldo, a loving mother, wife, daughter, and friend sadly left us on October 18, 2017 while receiving treatment at Northwell Health Hospital. The loss of a loved one will always leave a tremendous impact mentally and emotionally on those whom they have left behind. However, financial issues is something that this family should not have to worry about during such a painful time. It is with great sorrow that we kindly ask for your generosity in order to help us raise money for Ana's family to be able to provide her with a proper funeral. Any amount donated would be greatly appreciated by the family. Ana Giraldo was a selfless human being who would always put the needs of her loved ones before her own, no matter what. Her compassionate personality and sense of humor is what made her so special to so many people who were lucky enough to have known her. She was an angel in the eyes of her friends and family, husband, and daughter, our dear friend Jessica, who will now have a guardian angel by her side looking after her. Ana Giraldo, was a strong woman who never failed to make those around her smile even in her weakest moments. We truly hope that you will help this grieving family by making a donation as soon as possible, preferably within the next four days. Ana touched the lives of so many, now we hope that you will help her family in their time of need. 


If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.

Tell her that I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.
