Emilia Kay Ortiz-Ramirez

In her nine beautiful days on this earth, November 19, 2025 – November 27, 2025, Emilia Kay touched more hearts than many do in a lifetime. Her loving big brother chose her name, and her middle name was given in honor of Naomi Kay. Born with anencephaly, Emilia defied expectations and amazed us all with her strength, grace, and the quiet miracles she brought into each moment. She carried her mama’s profile and delicate fingers, and her daddy’s nose and toes—perfectly blending the two people who adored her most. Though her time was brief, her impact will last forever, a reminder of pure love, courage and the beauty of every breath.
