ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Yairis "Gigi" Hernandez, 20, born on June 15, 1993 and passed away on February 21, 2014. We will remember her forever.

Gigi was a beloved daughter to Frank and Sonia Caicedo-Hernandez, a granddaughter to Manuel (R.I.P. March 8, 2014) and Cordelia Caicedo, a niece to Dennis & Katy Caicedo, Diana & Orlando Louzado and a cousin to Justin and Jayden Caicedo,  a family who loved her so much. Gigi was a true friend to all. She always wanted to help others and find a way to make people smile. She had a heart of gold. She was truly an angel on Earth that was needed in Heaven.  We will miss her smile, her unique laugh, and above all, her kind heart.  


My Daughter Yairis Isabel Hernandez who better than her mom to tell her story.

Gigi was born prematurly at 32 weeks (7 months) I was only 21 years old when I gave birth to this little miracle.  Weighing only 3 lbs a tiny little thing, Spent 2 weeks in an incubator until she was ready to breathe on her own.  Spending many hours with her it never crossed my mind she was in any type of danger being born so early I guess me being so young and nieve.  But within 4 weeks she was released from the hospital weighing 5 lbs.  She was my baby doll, having given many tiny clothes I would pass the day just changing her clothes and taking pictures of her maybe thats why she could never decide what to wear. Gigi was always such a good little girl never gave me a tantrum the only thing she would do between the age of 2 and 3 was she liked to be naked,I would have to run after her around the house to get her pamper and clothes back on.  When gigi was about 4 yrs old she was in an dance in her preschool (Centeral Mater West) which was the only event I could not attend due to work but my sister and mom were there to see her performance.  The next day when I went to her school parents and teachers were telling me she was a star of the show  that she had a future in acting oh how I regretted not being there.  Later on in Elementry (Hialeah Elementry) she also performed in a dance for HIspanic month, she did such an awsome job I couldnt be any more prouder than that day when every one cheered her dance.  I would love to put that video on this website and will try to. She also performed in a Christmas show in Hialeah, Gigi just loved to dance, she had it in her blood just like her grandfather, dancing was what they loved to do. In 2005 we moved to Naples she made many friends, Gigi would do just about anything to help out a friend letting them stay in our home when they had no where else to go.  Gigi made a diffence in many lives one thing Gigi taught me was not to judge people.  Gigi had a variety of type of friends she could blend in with any group of people.  She always wanted the best for everyone. She was  such a good hearted person never held any grudges toward anyone no matter what.  Even when she knew she was right she would still apologize.  Gigi and I were more than just Mom and Daughter, we were like sisters, best friends.  She knew I would always be there for her no matter what. She always told me she loved me even until the last day I saw her on that morning of the 21st on my car with the morning mist on my window she wrote "I Love You" Gigi couldn't be loved any more than what her dad and I did. Even with the age she was, we stilled referred to her as the baby because that what she was to us (our only daughter).  Gigi loved to fashion, sit at the beach and watch the sunrise and sunset, dance, longboard, hola hoop, ride motorcycle and listened to a variety of music if you notice I change the back ground music on occasion me and her had the same taste in music too, though she also like rap and country which didn't go with me. She loved bachata, salsa, merengue, hip hop and R & B oh yeah and rave music. She loved life, she had so many plans but God had another plan for her, I still can't believe she gone, her father and I cry for her every day and ask why, why her. We will never know what if feels like to have grandkids, I would tease her on occation telling her when she has her own she would get pay back and she would laugh and say " yeah I know ". Gigi has left such a hole in our lives sometime we wonder how can we live without our baby.  We take it day by day and wait till the day that we reunite with her.  I am comforted she is with her grandfather who adored her.  Our family believe she didn't want to leave him behind since he was suffering in this world  by not being able to walk or function as he used to.  I still feel her with me all the time and that is helping me go on.  Gigi was my world my everything, oh how i miss her telling me to caress her hair and give her back massages. She had such beautiful skin, she didn't need sun tanning lotion she would just get that glow from laying in the sun.  My daughter had a beautiful smile that would light up a room and would make people laugh with her laughter.

Another year of sadness not being able to celebrate another birthday with you, you would have been 29 yrs old. My beautiful daughter you will always be 20. You will never feel the aging of ones body in which you are lucky you never got to know or grieve for a loved one you are lucky. It does not get any easier as time goes by. I remember telling you, you needed to take care of me when I get old and now what is left for me but just memories of my sweet little girl. Happy Birthday Gigi I know you are celebrating with Lito and family that have gone to heaven. Hugs and kisses your mom

I cant believe it has been 6 years since you left. I think about you often and I can feel you sometimes as an owl or a bird. I remember that owl necklace that was broken and i fixed it for you so you didnt have to throw it away. You told me to keep it because you knew how much i liked it. A few years ago I was thinking about you and crying and I found it out of nowhere. I knew you were trying to tell me you're still here. I have been searching for the perfect owl tattoo to get for you. I finally found it. You are gonna love it. Keep watching over your family, they need you. I miss and love you GiGi

Another year goes by and i miss you more and more. Memories of you are still so vivid, your face, our talks, our movie nights and you shopping sprees. I wonder if you would still be here how would it be. Would i have been a grandmother if so probably to a boy or a girl hmm. I know you were certain your first born would be a boy. The fun we would had fun with him and spoiled too. I love you gigi and miss you so. Sometimes i wonder what my purpose here in this world without you is. I feel there really isn't anything to look forward too. Just the day we meet again, until then i suffer in silence with your absence. I close my eyes and vision you near me. Oh my little girl your dad and me are so lost without you. Missing u always ...mom

I tried so soooo hard to keep you above water andbi blame myself so much for you passing onto your afterlife...

My little one it has been 2years since you left our side and I still can't accept your gone. You send signs all the time when I need it the most and it comforts me you hear me. Your father and me live life in your memory and go day by day as you would want us to. Today I wore your favorite boots so I can say I walked in your shoes today. People say it gets easier with time but those people do not know what it feels to lose a child. We love you and miss you every day, hour and second we breathe. Luv your mom and dad

Sweet heart I miss you so very much, I hope you and lito look down at us and guide us through this pain the whole family feels with the loss of the two missing link that made our family one. When feeling sad I try to think of all the good time we spent together and the fun we had being more than just a mom and daughter, we had an undescribable relationship. I love you. Mami.... as you used to call me :*(

Every day me and your dad think of you, we find ourselves in a daze remembering all the wonderful times we had and memories you left with us. We find it hard to function on a daily basis. All we do think how much we want to be with you and how can this have happened to you, to us, to everyone that misses you.  you are missed so much. I don't think you knew how much you meant to people. I lay a flower for you here as i also have flowers for you always in your room. I love you my daughter, my only daughter that filled my life and now our lives are empty without you. I don't know how i can keep my self up ...... I just need to keep having faith i will see you one day..

Thinking of you, little one. I cant believe its been over 5 months since you left us. I've had such a hard time trying NOT to text/call you to see how you are doing, asking you whose heart you're breakin' ;), what job are you working at now or reminding you to enroll in college. I miss you SOOOO much. The thought that the only way to see you is in my dreams breaks my heart over and over again. But for now that will have to do. I love you and always will. See ya in my next dream lovely...

Gigi, I have found myself thinking so much about you lately. I still don't believe you are gone, its true what they say about telling the one's you love how much you care about them, they could be gone when you list expect it. I feel guilty,sad, mad i don't know what the feeling is, but i wish distance wouldn't have changed our friendship. The best childhood memories i have are with you. We were always getting into something. I remember when we would do each others make up and sneek into Diana's room when she wasnt there, And how Lita would give us ice-cream money if we folded Trapitos for her. I use to get so mad at you when you would fall asleep first at our sleep overs and leave me awake with those creepy dolls your grandma had. We used to love playing in the rain and then fighting about who got to shower in Litas bathroom. That was about how serious our fights got, we were never mad at each other. We always had the best time together, we would laugh for hours. I can still hear your laughter we shared so much together. I could go on and on with all the memories we have together, my favorite will always be the day we became buttcheeks. I love you….

Gigi, I find myself wanting to text you and tell you to come over. I want to hang out with you and feel that familiar sense of comfort and my guard completely down. Tell you about my life and listen to your stories and give each other advice. I miss your laugh and smile. You and I would always feed off of each other's energy. My favorite was laughing together. There is no denying that we were best friends Gig. I also miss that calling you that pronounced "GIJ". I miss how we would call each other bitch. Like "I love you bitch". I miss talking about our goals. I miss our hugs every time we saw each other. I miss reminiscing with you about all our funny stupid memories. I know you must be looking down and saying you love me and that it will all be okay. It is just so hard dude. I miss you more that any words can describe. You were the perfect person to me. This is a void that nothing can fill in my heart Gig. I miss all our sleepovers. My life will never be the same Gigi, not just because you're gone but because I had you while you were here. I feel sooo soo blessed that you were my best friend. I am so lucky I have an angel looking over me forever now. I know you must know what you meant to me always. I seriously saw you as a sister Gigi. I will never ever ever stop thinking about you. Please stay with me forever. I love you so much my best friend. I am sooo happy you are finally free and happy, That is all I have ever wanted for you dude. To see you happy and not have any negativity around. Say hi to my grandparents in heaven for me, I know they must love you to pieces.I can't wait for the day I get to wrap my arms around you and be with you forever. I will be telling my children about you. And I promise to keep in touch with your family. After all they do love me, duh. :) Love you forever Gigi. Still cant express how much I miss you.

Gigi, I love you so much. I am so lucky to have had a friend like you! You were always that friend that no matter how much time we spent away from each other, we can always pick it back up. Distance never set us apart. You always had a smile on your face when we were together. The sound of your voice and cute laugh you had still lingers in my head. Its so sad that you had to leave us so early! But I know you are in God's hands now. Dancing your soul away ! <3

Gigi, beautiful angel. I never had the opportunity to really get to know you but have to say since you were very little all I heard was great and wonderful things about you from your aunt. You have always been her heart. There has not been one single day where I haven't though of you and prayed for you and your family. You were gone way to soon but I know you are in a much better place right now where there is no hurt, violence, or sadness. May you rest in peace.

Gigi, what am I going to do now? You were that person that was always full of life. Smiling laughing with you loud sponge bob laugh! You always had such a beautiful light inside you that everyone could see. You brought the best out of people, including myself. Without you I would have never picked you that hula hoop and become the hooper I am today because of it. You have inspired me, and have changed my life so much i really don't know where I would be right now. I wish I could make it to pay my respects at the services but colorado is a long ways from home. I love you Gigi you will always be my hoop mamma Rest well baby girl we'll see yah soon

Gigi, you were the sister I always wanted. You pulled my head out of my ass so many times. You held me when I cried and made me laugh when it felt impossible. You did the same fir everyone else around in your life. You touched so many people, you had an amazing gift. To have known you for a day was a blessing, but I was lucky for knowing you for 10 years. You were and still are beautiful inside and out. You've touched many peoples lives and hearts. I can't imagine not hearing your laugh, not hitting you up to go skating for hours. I miss you more than you can ever know. Your parents were my second parents, a beautiful lady raised by beautiful people. You're forever in all if our hearts and minds. I can't believe you're gone, but I know you will never be forgotten. Much love

Gigi, I never got the chance to get to know you I've only seen you the couple times you came into my store. It's hard to believe I will never see you, or your beautiful smile to brighten up my day, again. I only knew of you but I would have loved to gotten to know you you seemed like a really sweet girl. It's unfortunate you had to be taken back to heaven so early. But you will be missed dearly.

I'm Free

April 5, 2014
Buddha Bar Nature - El Corazon

Do not grieve for me now I'm free.  I'm following the path god laid for me.  I took his hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all.  I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way.  I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.  A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things I too will miss.  Be not burnedend with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.  My life's been full, I've savored so much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.  Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don't lengthen it now with undone grief.  Lift up your hearts and share with me. For god wanted me now...He set me free.
