Anaya Bernice Castronova-Edwards, affectionately known as Na-Na, graced the world with her brief but radiant presence from July 10, 2025, until July 15, 2025. Though her time with us was brief, her spirit shone brightly, and she captured the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of witnessing her arrival.

Born into a world full of hope and possibilities, Na-Na was a beautiful reminder of life’s preciousness. Although she only graced us for five precious days, each moment was filled with the warmth and light that only a newborn can bring. Na-Na was a miracle, a reminder that even the briefest lives can leave an everlasting imprint on our hearts.

Her gentle breaths filled the air with love, and her tiny fingers wrapped around our hearts, igniting a love that is indescribable. She was a little bundle of dreams, bringing joy that exceeded her brief time. Na-Na was surrounded by the unwavering love of her family, who cherished every second they had with her and will carry that love in their hearts forever.

Though she has departed from this world far too soon, her essence will continue to live on in the memories we hold and the love we share. The brief moments we spent with Na-Na are now treasured moments, a testament to the joy she brought into our lives.

As we say goodbye to our precious Na-Na, we remember the joy of her soft coos and delicate features. Her spirit will remain a part of us, reminding us that love knows no bounds. While her time here was short, it was filled with hope and beauty, leaving behind a legacy of love that will endure through the years.

Rest gently, sweet Na-Na, in the arms of the angels. You will forever be cherished and remembered in the hearts of those who loved you.
