Help Give Aaliyah-Rose Gilbert a Loving Send-Off

An Angel made her presence known February 21st, 2023. Weighing at 5 pounds, 2 ounces— a blessing, and shining star from above. Our angel came to shower us with rays of love, and laughter daily, but the Lord needed her more. He has called her back into his loving arms— we had the opportunity to share in her light and blessing, and for that, we are grateful.

Life has many paths, which the Lord has given to us, but when He calls, it is time to come Home. Today, [INSERT DATE], we are here to announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Aaliyah’Rose Gilbert.

Aaliyah’Rose had complications beginning March 12, 2024. She showed signs of Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV; it began with her feeling lethargic, sweaty, and unwilling to feed from her bottle.

Aaliyah’Rose was rushed to the Emergency Room, where she then suffered from a cardiac arrest, and developed pneumonia. After days in intensive care, she was diagnosed with a lung defect, and had heart failure.

After being hospitalized for over a month, and having numerous tests done. Ultimately, her heart was failing, and she desperately needed a transplant. While on the transplant list, the doctors recommended a procedure where they would implant a Berlin Heart, to assist her heart to beat. This procedure was done on April 9, 2024.

The procedure went well, but unfortunately, it was not an end all resolution; Aaliyah’Rose still needed a healthy heart. On July 2, 2024, at 6:50pm, our Angel, Aaliyah’Rose has returned to our Lord.

We will be setting up a Go Fund Me for Aaliyah’Rose.

Our family asks, with a heavy heart, for any helping hands with funeral arrangements. God Bless.

Corinthians 2 Verse 9:7 states “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”. I say this to say, please find it in your heart to give baby girl a send-off that she deserves. As you can imagine, this isn’t a loss the family planned for and anything you can help with will truly be appreciated. Even if it’s just a share.
