Dear Babayev Family,

I remember the day Maya entered my kindergarten classroom; beautiful, sweet, quiet, little girl. She made friends easily and children were always drawn to her warmth, kindness, and light. Throughout her years at PS 188, she continued to blossom and grace our school with her kindhearted spirit. I remember the first time I saw Rebecca and it brought me back to the first day of kindergarten with Maya. The first time Maya came to pick her siblings up from school, my heart filled with pride for the accomplished young adult she had grown into.

Words cannot begin to describe the heartbreak I feel especially for all of you, her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know Maya and have her in their lives. 

Maya will always have a special place in my heart and I know that her bright light will continue to shine from above with the same grace, kindness, warmth, beauty, and love that she brought to this earth. 

I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep all of you in my daily thoughts and prayers. 💜

With love,
Michelle Alexiou

Maya and I became quick friends at St. Johns.  Maya was a genuine, kind hearted person, who truly was an angel in all forms. Maya walked through her life with such grace, elegance, and poise. Maya worked hard with passion, and most importantly, she ALWAYS had a big, bright smile on her face. Maya never complained. In fact, she always helped me out when I was stressed over something going on in school . She made sure to always let me know that everything will be ok and we would all pass that test and accomplish our goals. Throughout our years together at St. John's , Maya and I grew to be very close friends. When Maya would talk about her parents and her siblings, she always had the biggest smile on her face. She knew she was so loved. We would always tell Maya she was so lucky to have a mother who sent her gourmet meals for lunch. I will always remember studying in the library with her and her always munching on her strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries out of her container or spooning on an elaborate yogurt parfait. I will always remember our laughs together. I will always remember the times in the library where we just didn't feel like studying anymore, so we would sit back and watch the Kardashians on repeat in between classes.  To Mr. and Mrs. Babayev, you guys raised an angel. Maya was able to accomplish her mission in this world in 21 years. She accomplished her mission and Hashem called His and our angel back to heaven. I know that Maya is smiling, looking down over all of us. I loved Maya so much and I consider myself lucky to have been her friend. May we always remember Maya with a smile on our faces. I know I will celebrate her life and I will keep her memory alive.  Rest easy Maya. You are our forever angel. 
I love you always, 
Naomi and Jonah <3 

Dear Marat, Izobella and family,
It is with heartfelt sadness that I send this note today. My daughters and I remember Maya running around your apartment years ago. What an adorable baby and what a beautiful young woman she grew to be. She was so determined and hard working with such a gentle spirit. We cannot imagine your pain and are sending our love and care.  We know too that there really are no words but hope that you find some comfort in knowing that Maya was and always will be deeply loved by you, your family and friends.  Praying for you all at this time .  With love, Marie Ellen, Nicole and Lynn 

Dear Babayev family,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of our wonderful maya, she was such an amazing person. The joy on her face lightens everyone up. Her presence in general brought joy to all of us. This took us along time to write because we didn’t want to believe her passing was reality. We give are deepest condolences and we are all here for you guys.

Dear Babayev Family,

My family and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss. I do not think there was a better person in this world than Maya -- she was beyond intelligent, beautiful, caring, helpful, funny, hardworking... the list could go on forever. I was blessed to know Maya for most of my life but will always cherish our high school days together. I remember walking the halls arm in arm with her and Lorena, the three of us laughing and making jokes as we made our way to class. She had the best sense of humor but would also laugh at all my bad jokes just to make me feel better. She inspired me to be the best version of myself and was always one of the first people to offer help or guidance if she saw I needed it. I admired the dedication and love she had for her family and friends; it came across in everything she did. 

I will forever be thankful she and Lorena let me into their circle and am grateful for the amazing memories we were able to create together. Maya was such a bright light in my life and I will miss her every day. 

May she rest in peace.

Dear Babayev family, 
It is with great sorrow that I give my deepest condolences for losing such an amazing, beautiful, kind hearted and caring cousin who was like a little sister that I watched grow up into an independent woman. I couldn’t be more proud of the things she accomplished in her short time with us from being a role model to her siblings to almost completing pharmacy school at St. John’s. 
I will always cherish our memories from the birthdays , to vacations and the summer picnics we had. And Knowing you always put your family ahead of everything else, I’m sure you will always be looking over them as their guardian angel. 
May you Rest In Peace,
Love Roman

Dear Babayev family,

I cannot begin to comprehend your emotions right now. For the years that I have known Maya, she always proved herself to be a person of high morale, optimism and grace. She was always gentle with her words and her calming voice still runs through my head. I am so grateful for the memories I had with her like many nights at Lorena's house either baking, painting, eating or just talking. She had an incredible sense of humor which was revealed upon hours of conversation. I will always remember her beautiful smile and laugh. I pray that you will find peace in your heart's and that Maya's soul will be lifted. May she rest in paradise. 

I am so sorry for your loss. We all loved Maya very much. I think of Maya and hear her laugh. She had a very positive outlook on life. She always made people feel like they belonged. I admired many of her qualities and abilities and would ask her for advice when we talked about our futures in medicine. I am thankful to have grown up with her and have so many good memories with her and her family from dancing to kids bop in her basement to more recently sipping water out of large wine glasses and uncontrollably laughing. I will never forget Maya and will miss her dearly. May she Rest In peace.


I remember celebrating Maya's birthday last year and remember how happy she was to be with all of her friends and family by her side. I could see her happiness beaming through her beautiful smile. I will always appreciate her positive energy and character forever. 

May she rest in peace. 

Dear Babayev Family, 
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  Maya was everything.  She was beautiful, inside and out.  She was kind. Loving.  Caring.  Hardworking.  Incredibly Intelligent. Maya was a person who would automatically notice when someone around her was upset, and would always have the right thing to say. 
She was my best friend.  I am incredibly grateful to have had her by my side all these years. We were always there for each other’s important moments.  I could always rely on Maya to be there to give a kind word, good advice, and a smile.  Maya had so many admirable qualities.  She valued time with her family more than anything else.  She behaved with class and grace. She constantly worked toward her goal of becoming a pharmacist, even when it was extraordinarily challenging. Maya was patient, even when things did not go her way.  She laughed so genuinely. 
	I know there are no words to ease the pain of this tragedy, but Maya will always be in our hearts.  She inspired me and many others to be better. I miss her so much. 
	May she rest in heaven.    


Dear Babayev family, 

Words do not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of my cousin Maya. She was a loving person and cared for others deeply. We shared many beautiful moments together and they will be cherished forever. I will always remember how we would play with our little cousins and her laughter would always warm my heart. 

Although she is no longer with us, she will remain alive in our hearts and minds and through us, she will live on. I will carry her resilience with me and embedded it into my soul. Her positive energy will continue to live forward and like ripples, she will touch everyone in existence. She will never be forgotten. I love you and miss you Maya. May she rest in peace. 

Love,
Gabby

Dear Babayev family,

No words could ever describe the heartbreaking pain I feel about losing my cousin Maya. Maya was such a kind, talented, and beautiful soul and all the memories we had together were full of joy and laughter. 

She has always been an inspiration. I still remember her artwork that she showed me when we were kids and I remember wanting to be as talented as her. Her dedication to school despite the obstacles she faced continues to inspire me. She was a very close cousin and friend to my sister and the optimism that she spread was a quality I always admired. She will forever remain in my heart. May she rest in peace. 

Love, 

Rachel







Dear Babayev family,
Maya was a very sweet, kind, and smart person. I cannot possibly imagine how upset you and everyone else is. I remember her always coming over to my house to take care of us. She was always telling me jokes and riddles. Like one time she said  "There was a family of 5 , the  first child was named April, the second May, the third June, and the fourth July. What was the fifth childs name." Then I said "What?'' Meaning that I did not understand the question but Maya said I was right, and I was still confused.  It turned out that What was the answer.  I miss her soo much and hope you recover of your tragic loss. May she rest in peace.
      Love, Joshua

Dear Babayev family,

Words cannot explain how heartbroken I am about losing my cousin Maya.  To me she was not only family but a trusted friend who I loved dearly.  Her joyous laugh, soothing voice and comforting personality made her so easy to be around.  I will always remember our large family gatherings where I would see her eyes light up at the sight of our hilarious and loving family congregating together.  I cherished every moment we spent together at those gatherings and on our own. 

Maya was a dedicated daughter and sister.  She was committed to the goal of becoming a Doctor of Pharmacy and her determination to reach that goal despite obstacles is something that will forever inspire me.  I will always carry Maya and the memories we created together in my heart.  My heart goes out to the rest of the family that is bearing the loss of our beautiful Maya.  May she rest in peace.    

Love,
Sarah


In such Hard times like this with what's going on in the world.  Many are unfortunately leaving the world and Hashem chooses the most precious souls and powerful Neshamas that all of the nation of Israel relies on.  My cauzin Maya was a very special Neshama. And she always shone bright in this world. But now she's shining bright the entire Dark Universe.  We cannot understand or comprehend why Our Father in Heaven decided when it had to happen. Me and my wife when we heard this. We couldn't understand ,I couldn't accept it, all day and night my soul cried. Because Bella and Murat I felt your pain and the family's pain... all the way here it reached us in Israel. It happened on Pesach Time because this is when we were saved from the egyptians. From the suffering and pain they caused us and we were taken out. Maya was a special reincarnation. From the ancient times and she finished her mission she's now even greater and not within limitations. We cannot understand this but in Heaven she is glad now and she sees what soon will happen, that soon we will all be redeemed in Israel together and resurrection will happen we are uniting. Our candles and prayers shall go for her infinite soul, Hashem bless her soul. Now shes an angel in Heaven with Aba. We will miss and love you Maya forever......        Love Daniel & Orly.....

Dear Babayev & Ustayev Family,
It is with great sorrow that we write this message to you today.  We are exponentially distraught at the loss your family is facing.  Maya was a wonderful person.  She had the ability to carve a niche in many people's hearts.  She was the epitome of modesty and grace.  Her beaming smile and the joy she spread was easily felt and will never be forgotten.  She was truly beautiful inside and out.  
My husband and I always enjoyed talking with her and discussing 'life' over shabbat meals and other family occasions at my brother's house.  We always admired her sense of humbleness even though she had accomplished so much in such a short span of time.
Losing a chid is heartbreaking.  Our heart aches for you and your family.  May Maya rest in peace, may her soul elevate to heaven, may she watch over you, guide you, protect you, and pray for you. 


There's nothing I can say that can put how saddened I am by this into words. Maya was such a smart, beautiful young woman with such a bright future ahead of her and such a loving and care family besides her.  She was always so kind and caring and always put her best effort into making those around her happy. I keep thinking about the times Maya babysit me, my brother and sister, when we recorded silly videos with her and goofed off having fun as kids. Those memories I will never forget. Maya was such a wonderful part of our big family, and words can't describe how much I'm going to miss my amazing cousin. May she rest in peace, I wish the best for all of you.

Dear Babayev  Family, 

Words cannot describe how deeply sadden I am about the loss of our dear Maya. She was a very caring, smart, and beautiful person who was full of life. Her friendly smile and kind personality lit up the world everywhere she walked. Since I was young, I've looked up to Maya and admired her success in school. I will always remember the wonderful memories we shared together. Whether it was playing games, watching favorite movies when she babysat me, hanging out at the mall, and visiting each other on family occasions and holidays. These memories will forever be cherished in my heart. Maya will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace and always be in our hearts.

Dear Babayev and Ustayev family, 
      I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. Maya was a sweet, caring, smart and a hard working young lady. I always enjoyed seeing her and talking with her in my uncles’ house on special occasions. She gave me advice about college and was someone that I admired.She's a very bright and intelligent person. May she Rest In Peace and forever be in our hearts ❤️.

Dear Babayev Family,

I'm sorry for the loss of you beloved daughter and my cousin. Maya was one of the nicest people I knew. I remember when I was younger she used babysit me and my brothers. One my favorite memories of us is when we were recording a cooking video together. I'm really going to miss her. May she rest in peace.

Dear Babayev family,
  No words can describe the sorrow that I am filled with, losing someone so special to me.  Since I was young, my parents always told me that I was very much like Maya.  That we both always worked hard in school and constantly stressed over our work.  I've always looked up to her and strived to be great like her.  Though we have not talked as much as I would have liked to, I will always remember the great memories we've shared. Whether it was recording silly videos with her while babysitting, or celebrating our birthdays, or even her comforting me when first starting high school, I will always treasure these memories and keep them in my heart.  
Love,
Joshua Ustaev

Dear Family,
I am saddened by the loss of my cousin. Maya was a very special person in our family. I remember her positive attitude whenever she came over to my house. I remember how dedicated she was to her studies in Saint Johns University and her siblings at home. She was finishing to become a Doctor of Pharmacy and this tragic loss stopped it. She loved to draw. She even drew a picture of me whenever I was a baby about 3 years old. She was like me, she liked listening to music at home and in the car, and whenever she was drawing. I hope she rests in peace, and her family recovers.


I did not know Maya but I want to say, may God Bless her soul for eternity as well as her family and friends. 🙏🏽

Dearest Babayev Family,
I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of sweet, beautiful Maya. I had the pleasure of being her fourth grade teacher. She was special! So kind and caring... always willing to help me or a friend. When I picture Maya I see a smiling 10 year old girl arm in arm with Lorena... whispering and laughing. I was her teacher the year I was getting  married and I remember her asking me about my plans and always making me beautiful cards. Maya was a hardworking student. She always did her best and she is a student that has had a special place in my heart through the years. No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Remembering her wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts. May she Rest In Peace. ❤️

To the Babayev Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this heartbreaking time. I never had the pleasure of meeting Maya but I teach Rebecca in cooking after school. She is always so sweet, kind, and helpful. I am deeply sorry for your loss.  
With heartfelt sympathy,
Joanna Mackney 

Dearest Babayev Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about Maya. It has been many years since I worked with Maya, but I see her clearly. It was a joy to help her with her English when she first came to PS 188Q. Maya learned quickly and was always eager to help others in our group. She had beautiful eyes, and a warm smile and gentle manner.
Your beautiful memories of Maya and your family live on and will give you comfort.
With loving memories,
Susan Kazin ESL teacher, PS188Q

Dearest Babayev Family,
I am beyond heartbroken by the loss of your beautiful Maya. I had the pleasure of teaching Maya during her fifth grade year at P.S. 188Q. Although Maya was often very quiet in class, she was eager to learn and took tremendous pride in her work. She was a gentle soul, always willing to help her peers or teachers in need of assistance. I cherish the opportunity that I knew her charismatic smile and warmhearted personality. It brought me great joy over the years to bump into Maya with her siblings around the school grounds at dismissal time. She always made it a point to smile and say hello to me. I saw Maya walking her sister home a few weeks prior to the school closings. I will forever be grateful that I seized the chance to roll down my window and have a chat with her. It was a true privilege to know Maya and watch her become a remarkable young woman. I am deeply sorry for your tragic loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
With love & sympathy,
Manette Cincotta

Dear Babayev Family,

I am so heartbroken for your loss. I will always remember Maya's smile. You have my deepest sympathy. Will keep Maya and your family in my prayers. 

Love,
Myrna Perez Fung

Dear Babayev Family,
   I had the pleasure of teaching Maya when I first started at P.S.188 and meeting your beautiful family. Maya had a gentle and kind spirit and was such a beautiful soul inside and out. She was a student that I always remembered throughout the years and was so happy to see when picking up her younger siblings at dismissal. Words truly fail to express my sorrow for your loss but please know I am praying for your family and thinking of you all. 
My heartfelt condolences. <3



I have had the pleasure of knowing your wonderful family over the years while working at P.S. 188.  My heart breaks for the incredible loss you are all facing.  May her beautiful memory bring your family some peace during this time.  
With love and condolences,
Rachel Levenson

I will always remember Maya from PS188.  I work as a paraprofessional at the school. I remember Maya being such a sweet girl. She was also such a caring big sister! Always remember seeing her picking up her sister at the Annex! May her memory live on! Gone way too soon!  Rest In Peace sweet girl! ❤️😢🙏💔

Dear Babayev Family,
I am truly saddened to hear about the loss of Maya.  I remember her as a shy Kindergartner in music class and as a beautiful young woman who cared for her younger sister, Rebecca.  We always spoke or smiled when she picked  Rebecca up from Kindergarten.

Please relay a message to Rebecca that I am always here for her, remotely or in person (when we return to school).

With deepest sympathy,
Denise Block
Music Teacher,
P.S. 188q




To the Babayev Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.  I only know your beautiful daughter Maya through the wonderful stories Rebecca and Jacob would share with me in school.  I can see the love they had for their big sister.  I remember how Rebecca would light up at dismissal when Maya would pick her up and they would walk home together.  Please know you have my deepest, sincerest sympathy during this difficult time.
Love, 
Ann Marie Zovich

There are no words to express how heartbroken I am for your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am deeply sorry for your loss and Maya will always be remembered as a beautiful person inside and out. 

Dear Babayev Family,

I am truly heartbroken.  Maya was a beautiful soul.  She will always have a special place in my heart. I will miss her tremendously.  Whenever she picked up Jacob or Rebecca, she would stop, give me a hug, and we would chat for a few moments.  I am so grateful that I had the pleasure to be her teacher in both first and second grade.  My heartfelt condolences to all of you.  Please let me know if there is any way I can help your family.  I am truly truly sorry.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Maya, but I only heard great things. I am a teacher at her former Elementary school.  Rest In Peace, Maya. 

I remember Maya's dark hair, dark eyes, and gentle ways.  She was a lovely, quiet child.  While I never had her as a student I remember her, will always remember her, and grieve for your loss.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Stacy Gangi





I will always remember Maya as a loving and caring student.  She was always smiling and her joy and enthusiasm was captivating.  Maya was beautiful inside and out and she will always be remembered that way.
