It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Grace Longobardi on July 29, 2024. Born on November 1, 2008, Grace lived a short yet vibrant life full of love, laughter, and strength. Her radiant spirit and unquestionable resilience left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. While her time on earth was short, her legacy and memories will remain forever in our hearts. We will remember her not for her age, but for the immense joy and positivity she brought into our lives. Rest in eternal peace, dear Grace. Your light will forever shine in our hearts.

MESSAGES TO HEAVEN FROM FAMILY & FRIENDS:

MAMA - Grace, my oldest daughter and second child, you brought so much joy into my life with your vibrant spirit. I enjoyed our shopping trips together and the endless carpooling. I loved singing and dancing with you, and it brings me immense pain that you didn't say anything before making this decision. Watching you excel in sports was one of my greatest joys. Every moment spent with you I will treasure forever, from our heart-to-heart mother-daughter conversations to our spontaneous adventures. As much as I wish I could turn back time to save you and ease your pain, I know this is what you wanted, and I'm glad you got to pass in your own hands. I love you dearly, rest well up there, my little angel.

DAD - Grace, my little pumpkin, it is with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye and accept the fact that you are in a better place now. I hope heaven treats you with love. Watching you grow into the young lady you became brought immense happiness that only a father can truly understand. From cooking and baking together in the kitchen to stargazing in the yard, and cheering you on during sports and celebrating your good grades, you were such a blessing in my life. I will cherish our memories forever. The hole in my heart from losing my little girl will never heal. I am deeply saddened that we will never get to celebrate your sixteenth birthday together as we had planned. Grace, you will always be my little pumpkin, and I will miss you every day.

POP POP & GRAN - Grace, our second grandchild, brings us profound sorrow as we say goodbye to our beloved granddaughter. You were always a shining light in our lives. We remember baking your favorite snickerdoodle cookies, and your visits brought us so much joy. We never thought one of our five grandchildren would have died before us. You always filled our home with laughter, warmth, and happiness. There's not much more to say to our grandbaby. Rest well, sweetheart.

MAVERICK - Hey sis, how's heaven? I hope you're doing well up there. I never thought I'd lose my one siblings, one of my three sisters. You were the funniest sister I could've ever asked for. Even though we fought and argued, I would've never wished this upon you. Whatever caused you enough pain for you to take your life, I'm sorry and I hope you know that. Yes, even your annoying, stinky older brother loved you. I remember our play fights that always left me with a bruise or two, but I never minded it because you were my little sis, the one person I could talk to whenever mom or dad made either of us mad or upset. I remember all those times we stayed up late prank calling random people. I remember how you used to come into my room, knock over my things, turn the light on, and leave without shutting the door. It always got on my nerves, but it's okay because it was you who did it. I remember you messing my hair up before any date I went on with a girl, or the time you broke my controller and saved up to buy me a new one. I know you're in a better place now. Rest easy, little sis.

GIANNA- I want to start out this saying: I miss you so much. It's so hard without you. I remember my twelfth birthday party and remember that you're gonna miss my next birthday. Everyone else misses you too. It feels weird with you not here, but Mom and Dad remind me that it's okay and you're in a better place. I'll make sure to watch over the Twins, Mom, Dad, Pop Pop, Gran, Maverick, Love, and everyone on your sports teams for you, just like you would want me to. I love you forever. Rest in peace.

ASHTON & AUTUMN (Rewritten by Parents) - We love and miss you, Sissy. We hope you can play Roblox and Fortnite in heaven and enjoy all the desserts, as Mom says angels do that. You'll miss our sixth birthday and won't be able to match us anymore or play tag, but that's alright because heaven is likely much more fun than those things. Have a great time in heaven, and rest in peace.

LOVE -  Grace, you were my forever best friend. We did everything together. I can't even begin to express how much I miss you. You were more than just my best friend; you were my rock and my biggest supporter. You always knew how to lift me up when I was down, and you never gave up on me, even during our biggest fights and toughest times. You got me through so many hardships, and I will forever be grateful for that. I loved doing gymnastics with you and roaming through the hallways in your house. I loved annoying your brother with you and begging your mom to take us to go swimming or to the park. I loved watching your dad scold us for doing silly things, and most of all, I loved you. I'll never forget the many secrets we shared and the TV shows we watched. I'll never forget the FaceTime calls or the times we fell out laughing over stupid things. I'll never forget you, Grace. Your memory will live on forever in my heart.  As long as I can remember you were my partner in crime, and even though you're not here, you forever will be remembered, missed, and loved. Rest in peace. I love you.

GYMNASTICS FRIENDS & COACHES -  Dear Grace, we miss you immensely. The gym will never be the same without your laughter and energy; you were always the heart of our team, uplifting everyone with your spirit and determination. Practices will feel emptier without your cheers and encouragement. We will never forget how you tackled every routine with such "grace"; had you been here, you would have appreciated that pun. You inspired us all to be better gymnasts and friends. Your dedication and passion were unmatched, and we promise to carry your memory forward with every practice, competition, flip, tumble, and cheer. You will forever be a part of our team. With love, your gymnastics team.

VOLLEYBALL FRIENDS & COACHES - Grace, it will be difficult to step onto the court without you. Your presence was a beacon of strength and positivity for all of us. You always had a way of making even the toughest practices enjoyable and motivating us to overcome every challenge. We will miss your serves and spikes, but most importantly, we will miss your team spirit. While we may not be able to fill the void you have left behind, we will play every game with you in our hearts, honoring your memory with every point we score and every victory we achieve. Rest easy, love your volleyball team.

BOXING FRIENDS & COACHES - Grace Longobardi, a name that will live in this gym forevermore. It's going to feel different without you, but we are prepared to make that change. Your fierce determination in every match was truly inspiring. You always pushed to be your best, even through the toughest training sessions. Your never give up attitude and powerful punches had a way of lifting everyone up. Even though you're not here, we know you're still here fighting in spirit. Keeping you in our memory during training. Rest in peace, you'll always be a champion to us, from your boxing friends and coaches.
