Hundreds of people turned out to say goodbye to
Nixzmary Brown on the day of her memorial and funeral service. This story
had been in
the news almost every day and most of these people
were strangers,
people who never even knew her. Pouring their hearts
out to this
little Angel in ways her mother and stepfather
never did.
"It touched everyone,"
Caridad Ramos Nixzmary's great aunt.
Nixzmary was finally laid to rest on January 18,
2006. The people of
New York, her family as well as strangers, came
to pay their respects
to her and to tell her goodbye. There was an open
casket wake at the
First Avenue Ortiz Funeral Home. Out of respect
for Nixzmary, I will
not be putting any pictures of her in her casket,
on my site.

Nixzmary's family broke down at her grave site.
Reverend Robert O'Neil said that Nixzmary's nightmare
was finally
over:
"Nixzmary is now surrounded by love, beyond
the touch of evil"

A float that paid tribute to abuse victims showed a
picture of Nixzmary Brown. The float was placed so far back in the lineup
that it was not one that was shown on television while it went up Fifth
Avenue. That is so sad, this is a real problem and it deserves as much
attention as any other float in the parade, even more...IN MY OWN OPINION!
