On October 20, 2019, Ava Noelle Vazquez gained her wings and joined Jesus in heaven. Our angel came to visit us on September 13, 2019.

She wasn't supposed to arrive that early, but she chose to. For five weeks, she blessed us with her smiles, peek-a-boo looks, squeezing mommy and daddy's fingers, blowing bubbles for Papi, opening her eyes for Grammy, and making words with her lips for Grandma.

Everyone who came in contact with her, fell in love with her. Her ministry was to bring families together, draw God's children back to Him, and unite people all around the world in prayer. Ava still have the prayer chains on maximum overdrive. Ava Bear's precious little body showed us that the strength of God and His grace and mercy for us. She was tiny but filled very large shoes.

She leaves to cherish her: mother Breana Watkins; father Luis "TJ" Vazquez, Jr.; two sisters Aaliyah (7) and Arianna (5); one fur brother Tedee P; grandparents Luis (Papi) and Valarie (Grammy) Vazquez, Sr. and Thelma Higgins; one God-mommy Da'Dreama Berkley; a host of aunts and uncles and a multitude of cousins and loved ones.
