Anaya Juliet Garza

Anaya Juliet Garza, known affectionately as “Princessa” to all who were graced by her presence, embarked on her grandest adventure into Heaven on the 11th of August, 2024. Born on a crisp cool day in Virginia Beach, VA, on the 23rd of January, 2023, Anaya's time with us was a whirlwind of joy and laughter, marked by her love for dance, song, and the irreplaceable warmth of family.

With the kind of spirit that could only be described as electric, Anaya danced her way through life, often roping in her adoring brother Ezra for impromptu performances that would leave the family in an abundance of laughter. Her boundless energy was a force of nature, as she would race around with Noah, her other partner-in-crime, making every moment an adventure. At night, she would tuck him in, ensuring his dreams were as sweet as her own.

Anaya's parents, Julio and Jennifer Garza, raised a daughter whose heart was as big as her smile. Her loving nature created the family's sunshine, and her kindness was a gentle reminder of the goodness in the world. Anaya was the glue that held the Garza family together, a spirited soul whose laughter was contagious and whose presence could light up the darkest of rooms.

In true energetic style, Anaya lived life with the philosophy that if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong. She could find humor in the tiniest of things, and her giggles were the best medicine for any ailment. As the late, great Robin Williams once said, "You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." Anaya not only held onto her spark but ignited it in everyone she met.

Though her time with us was far too short, Anaya's impact will be felt for eternity. She never missed a beat, and her memory will continue to dance in the hearts of all who loved her. As we bid farewell to our little ray of sunshine, we do so with the knowledge that her spirit is now free to soar, leaving us with the echo of her laughter and the warmth of her love.

Anaya Juliet Garza, the embodiment of love, spirit, and kindness, will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Her legacy is one of joy, a reminder to embrace the dance of life with all its twists and turns. And as she would have wanted, we will continue to sing, to dance, and to love with the same passion that she shared with us all. My sweet, beautiful baby girl, Anaya, we will meet again on the great dance floor of Heaven. We will always love you Princessa!
