Ana and I first met at the start of my Sophomore Year in high school back in 2012, and not only were we classmates, but we also worked together on school projects before presenting them in the classroom. Two years later, in 2014, we were classmates again for Physical Education/Health, and through the good & the bad, we managed to keep our friendship alive. Not only would she be at the top of her game, but on the outside, she was more than just a classmate; she was a dancer, an actress, and a whole lot more. Otherwise, for years, we would talk through social media, and not only was I proud of her for what she had accomplished, but I felt so happy to have connected with her whenever I needed help improving my character. The news of her death came as an unexpected shock to not just me, but to those whose lives were touched by Ana's high-octane energy, spirit, and positive, with her smile shining through everyone. Not only will I miss Ana, but I will miss our talks, too, and I will carry the memories that I had with her in my heart. May Ana's memory be a blessing.

With a heavy heart, you will be deeply missed. When I saw you and talked with you I always knew the Navy needed someone like you in it, but your heart belonged out of it. No matter how you felt, you always came to work and blessed everyone with your grace, kindness and hard work. Deployment was so hard for everyone but your strength through it was incredible, you never once showed an ounce of frustration towards anyone. You were there and brought light to all of our lives. I always told myself if she can do it, so can I. You don’t know this but you planted a seed in my own character for that I will forever be grateful. Heaven has gained a beautiful, funny and wonderful angel and we lost one. I will continue to pray for your family and loved ones. You were one of a kind, and I was so proud to have served with you. God Bless You. We have the watch, you can rest now. Gone but never forgotten.

Ana was someone full of light, someone who cared more about others than herself. A true loss, she will be missed and we all will have an angel who cares about us, above us, watching over us.

I remember meeting you way back when in union city at La Esperanza Church. You were literally always smiling and laughing. When was there a time where you weren’t lol I know life took its course and we never were super close but I’m glad we were close enough to have been able to share a memory a laugh and a smile. God has your life in His hands 🕊️Until we meet again. Sleep In Peace 🙏🏽🤍

You will be forever in my heart and forever on my mind - love your Harrlly

I remember you and Tashira always coming in cracking up over something that happened during the day out to sea on deployment.. I remember how when you were first talking to Jojo you would come to my rack and we’d yap about relationship advice whether it was yours or mine and how we’d put our feelings into words because we were so in love it hurt…or we’d compare makeup looks although yours ate mine down each time. You were one of the nicest people I’ve met, never negative always looking on the brighter side of things whether it be the berthing meetings where you could’ve been hella brutal but you weren’t you were assertive and a good leader, or when I would see you stop by and talk to Mr. Castillo to just talk about work and such. You had a bubbly aura that a lot of people said about me and seeing it in you finally made me understand how contagious that feeling is and what a privilege it’s been to cross paths with you in this lifetime!! I hope you get some peace in the afterlife knowing you impacted so many lives in such a short time. Rip gorgeous. 🙏🏽🩵
