In memory of a wife, mother, and friend to many.

Is it with my deepest regrets and great sadness that we are going to say goodbye to Ana Eichstaedt, loving mother of Emmanuel D'Auteuil (Manny, 2yr), wife, and the life partner to Samuel D'Auteuil. This sudden and unexpected loss has left a hole that cannot be filled.

Ana will always be a beautiful soul, and while she was full of passion and love she also fought her own silent battle. On November 13th, 2021, Ana lost her fight with depression. Survived by her son, Emmanuel, and husband Sam we all grieve together for her.

During this profoundly difficult time for the family, there is much-needed help and support beyond just the love we can give. This GoFundMe has been set up to help now single-parent Sam and family cover the end-of-life costs associated with a loved one passing. Any funds in excess of the costs needed to navigate this period of time will be put into a trust for a fund for Emmanuel's future.

My name is James Warren, a long-time family friend of Sam D'Auteuil and Ana Eichstaedt. I am honoured to be helping my friends in any way I can.
