Born on November 2, 1923, Allan Malan lived a life defined by devotion to his country, his family, his work, and his community. A proud veteran of both the Navy and Marines during World War II, Allan carried that same steadfast sense of duty into every chapter that followed. He was a devoted husband for 50 years, a loving father, a farmer who understood the rhythm of the land, and a teacher whose lessons stretched far beyond the classroom.

In his early years, Allan shared his musical gifts with the world, even opening a music store that became a beloved local gathering place. His life was a tapestry of service and creativity, stitched together with quiet brilliance.

Allan passed away from Covid-19 on December 17, 2020, just shy of the 100th birthday he so looked forward to. Today, on his heavenly birthday, we honor the legacy he left behind—one built on kindness, resilience, and love.

Happy heavenly birthday, Allan. Your melody still plays on. You are forever honored and remembered in Rami’s Heart COVID-19 Memorial.

Today, November 2nd, we honor and celebrate the life of Andrew Gigante, who would have turned 84.

Andrew was the kind of man whose reliability became a blessing to everyone around him. A devoted husband, a steady and loving father, a proud grandfather, and a friend you could trust without hesitation. For more than 40 years, he ran his own plumbing business. Serving his community with skill, honesty, and the kind of integrity that didn’t need to be advertised. People simply knew.

Outside of work, Andrew found joy in the simple things that made life full, fishing, sharing stories, and spending time with his family. He had a natural warmth, the kind that made conversations easy and made strangers feel instantly welcome. Generous, caring, and endlessly giving, Andrew carried a quiet strength that left an imprint on everyone who knew him.

His absence is felt every day. Yet his legacy continues to shine through the people he loved most.

Andrew passed away from Covid-19 and is lovingly remembered in Rami’s Heart Memorial. His daughter, Lorraine, one of our dedicated board members for the past five years continues to honor him through her compassion, her advocacy, and her unwavering commitment to the families we serve. She carries his spirit forward in every act of kindness she offers.

Please join us in wishing Andrew a happy heavenly birthday. 💛

May his memory continue to inspire generosity, connection, and love, just as he did throughout his life.

When we grieve someone who died, we’re not just mourning a life lost. We’re mourning the time they were denied. Birthdays that won’t be celebrated, milestones they won’t witness, love they should still be here to receive.

Today we’re excited to highlight one of the incredible vendors joining us at our 6th Annual Holiday Bazaar and someone whose story reflects the heart of our memorial community.

Jaime from Running Hamster Design is a screen printer, 3D printer, and laser‑cut designer who creates unique, handcrafted pieces and this year, she’s bringing something especially meaningful.

Jaime has designed yellow‑heart earrings and keychains inspired by the hearts displayed at the entrance and exit of Rami’s Heart Memorial. She made them as a tribute to her mom, who she lost to Covid, and whose stone rests at the memorial.

Like so many in our community, Jaime is a griever building something beautiful in the shadow of loss. She told us that losing her mom slowed down her small business, but creating in her memory is what keeps her moving forward. Being part of this event felt right to her even, in her words, “if I don’t sell anything.”

This is the kind of love and intention that fills our Holiday Bazaar.

And it’s a reminder:
✨ We’re just three weekends away.
✨ Saturday, November 21st in Holmdel, NJ.
✨ A day created for families who experienced a loss during the pandemic, especially kids who lost a parent or guardian filled with remembrance, connection, and community.

If you’d like to support Jaime, you can find her on Instagram at Jaime Konowal and if you’d like to support our event, simply showing up means more than you know.

💛 Thank you, Jaime and the many other vendors for sharing your talent and your heart with us.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Barbara Corson, a woman whose kindness and quiet strength helped shape Rami’s Heart Memorial in ways many never saw but all have felt.

Introduced to us by Sean and Joann of Allaire Community Farm, Barbara and her husband Don became behind‑the‑scenes anchors of support. Don designed the gazebo and the way our hearts are displayed, and Barbara stood beside him with unwavering love, encouragement, and belief in our mission.

Barbara showed up with compassion, generosity, and a warmth that made our community feel held. Her impact lives on in the memorial she helped nurture and in the kindness she inspired.

We send our love to Don and to all who are grieving her, including the Allaire Community Farm Community. Barbara will always have a special place in our hearts and be remembered here . 💛🌻

Today, we honor the heavenly birthday of Robert Weber, a man whose love, courage, and devotion continue to shine through the people who carry him forward. Though the years keep moving, the ache of his absence remains, especially for his beloved wife Danielle and their daughters Alexa Weber and Caroline Romo, who hold his memory with grace, strength, and unending love.

Rob and Danielle shared 29 beautiful years together, including 25 years of marriage built on loyalty, laughter, and the kind of partnership that stands the test of time. Their journey to parenthood, ten long years of hope, prayer, and waiting made the arrival of their daughter even more sacred. Rob embraced fatherhood with his whole heart, showing up with a love that shaped his daughters’ lives forever.

As a firefighter, Rob served with honor and courage. As a son, husband, and father, he gave everything he had. His absence is felt in every corner of the life he built, and Danielle continues to navigate her grief with resilience and tenderness. She reminds us, “We never get over losing him. We just learn to live with it.”

Today, we celebrate Rob’s life, his legacy, and the love he poured into his family and community. Please join us in surrounding his wife Danielle, and daughters Alexa Webber, and Caroline Romo with support as we honor the man they miss every single day. Rob is forever remembered within Rami’s Heart -19 Memorial and in the hearts of all who knew him. 💛

Staying busy can feel productive, but it’s often a coping mechanism a way to sidestep rather than process it. Understanding this pattern is the first step toward moving forward. Stillness can be uncomfortable, but it’s also where reflection and emotional growth begin.

Many grievers describe holidays like Halloween as feeling hollow. The world celebrates while their own world feels quieter, emptier. This contrast can intensify grief, especially when traditions or costumes once shared are now memories. Holding space for this experience helps people feel seen rather than forgotten.

10/30/2026

Let’s keep their memory alive. Share a photo, a story, a moment that still makes you smile.

Let's remember them together this Halloween.
