Memorial fund for our Aletheia Lilybell

My name is Ariana, and I am asking our community to provide for my family during a very difficult time.

My sister Analise, and her husband Charles, lost their sweet baby girl Aletheia on November 14th.

Aletheia was the brightest spot and best part of so many of our lives. Everything about her was perfect, from her beautiful blue eyes, her tiny fingers that loved pointing at things, her squishy legs and tiny toes, and the most kissable cheeks in the whole world. She was the most beautiful baby, so incredibly smart, and had the most infectious laugh. She was the. best. cuddler. Our snuggly girl. Our little Lilybell.

Aletheia's arrival on September 18th 2022 was the happiest day. In many ways, it just made true what we all knew from the very beginning-Ana was made to be the best mom. Aletheia's mommy. From the moment she was in her tummy, Analise showered her with love and fostered a bond with her baby that is so rare, so special, and so magical. They were never apart, and so clearly made for eachother. Aletheia was constantly adored by her parents, and they were gracious to share her magic with us all.

The death of a child is an unimaginable loss that no one should have to experience. Most of us cannot fathom the depths of this kind of grief. Each minute feels impossible to live through, and time seems to stand still while the world keeps on moving.

The very least, and maybe all we can do is provide time and space for them to grieve, rest, and take time away from work and the world for as long as they need.

Family, Friends, acquaintances, strangers-we ask for your help with memorial/funeral expenses, living expenses, and all of the other unfortunate and significant costs associated with navigating a tragedy of this magnitude.

At this time, we ask that you are sensitive and respectful of the family & loved ones regarding any details of the passing. If you have words to share with Analise, please contact Ariana and do not contact her directly at this time. I promise to share all sentiments with her as she is ready <3

Memorial details will be provided as they are available.
