I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to our family during our tragic loss. On June 7, 2018, Ariana Melendez suddenly left our world, leaving behind a beautiful legacy and beautiful memories that will forever be cherished in our hearts. To all of her friends and family, as well as those who met her briefly, there was something genuine about her presence that felt so loving and spirited. Her beautiful smile, the glow in her eyes, the compassion she had for others - she was an angel on earth. She was always there for others, a self-less person who never said no. She had a huge heart and cared about everyone. Ariana was a daughter, a sister, aunt, Godmother, friend, best friend, cousin, and a second mother to so many. It is unbelievable how much of an impact she left on all of us. Ariana or “Nanaz” as we called her, was truly loved and will be deeply missed beyond words. Through the Melendez family’s hard time and grief, we ask for your help to please donate any amount that will be used for Ariana Melendez’s funeral and medical costs. Thank you all for your support.
