Ana Marquez-Greene Obituary
The girl's grandmother, Elba Marquez, said the child's family moved to Connecticut just two months ago, drawn from Canada, in part, by Sandy Hook's pristine reputation. The grandmother's brother, Jorge Marquez, is mayor of a Puerto Rican town and said the child's 9-year-old brother was also at the school, but escaped safely.
Elba Marquez had just visited the new home over Thanksgiving and finds herself perplexed by what happened.
"It was a beautiful place, just beautiful," she said. "What happened does not match up with the place where they live."

Sweet baby. Heaven is filled with your giggles and glee. God bless your family. And God bless you, Jimmy. It is profoundly clear that little Ana Grace's departure left a gaping hole in your heart that nothing else will ever fill. Your messages to her are so sweet. God bless you.

I was watching Ana and her brother on the piano and she brought so much joy to me in my moment of pain until I saw Ana. She's truly God's angle and touching the world with you all love for her . God gave her a true gift that shows in her eyes and smile. Ana was your gift that God allow all that knew her-they were surely rewarded in her six years here on earth. Fine peace in what Ana accomplished in six years that many won't in a lifetime. Thank you Mr. & Ms. Greene for sharing Ana's story.
Happy Birthday,
Ana

To the Family of Sweet Little Ana Grace Marquez-Ggreene , my sincere sympathy and deepest condolences. May you find comfort from these two poems: "Oh, please don't feel guilty, it was just my time to go. I see you are still feeling sad, and the tears just seem to flow. We all come to earth for our lifetime, for some it's not many years, I don't want you to keep crying. You are shedding so many tears. I haven't really left you, even though it may seem so. I have just gone to my heavenly home, and I'm closer to you than you know. Just believe that when you say my name, I'm standing next to you. I know you long to see me, but there is nothing I can do. But I'll still send you messages and hope you understand that when it's time to "cross over," I'll be there to take your hand."
"Keep my memory with you. You see memories never die. I will be there with you . When you look across the sky, I will be there in the clouds. In the birds that fill the air. In the beauty of a fragrant rose. You will find my memory there. You will feel me in the Tenderness of a tiny baby's touch. You will hear me if you listen, in the twilight's Gentle hush. When your hearts are heavy. and you feel that you are alone, just reach down deep inside of you, for your heart is now my home. I will always be with you. I will never go away. For I will live on in your hearts, forever and a day. I will never be gone from you because I will always be a part of you alive within your hearts forever and always. I miss you and will always love you." (CL)

Ana was a cute, little girl. Two years has passed, but her innocence still remains among those who loved her, as well as to cherish every memory of her. My thoughts are still with Ana's family. May our loving God continue giving you all comfort and endurance to cope with your loss, and (John 5:29) be assured that our Lord will keep her memory close to him.

Ana Grace,
As we approach the 2nd anniversary of your tragic departure, I am reminded about what a wonderful little girl you were all the time. You made your parents, brother, family, and everyone very happy. When I am faced with difficult times, I think about your love of life including music, your family, fun, and all that life had to offer. Thank you Ana for being a special little girl. I am certain that you are in a nice place. Keep singing, smiling, and looking in on your parents. Most especially, keep a watchful eye on your brother as he was very close to you.

And if I go, while you are still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure,
Behind a thin veil that you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I will wait there for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest.
And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.
