Noah Anthony Malik was born May 16, 2016 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. His loving parents, Ashley Marie (DiFrancesco) Malik and Ali Salman Malik were blessed with 10 days beside Noah before he went to his heavenly home on May 26th. Though Noah's time here with us was short, he definitely left an impression on everyone that knew him.

The love he taught his many nurse girlfriends, his loving doctors, and most importantly every single one of his family members and friends was unimaginable and unlike any type of love we have experienced before. In his days with us, "Noey" definitely showed us the hobbies he enjoyed. These include making faces at mommy and daddy, trying different flavors of licorice, having sleepovers with Grandpa and Mimi, and even unexpectedly marking his territory on some visitors. His favorite days were when he was able to go outside to celebrate his one-week birthday, his first picnic, grandpa's birthday, and even a car ride to the park.We will treasure all the beautiful memories of our sweet Angel Noah that will certainly last a lifetime.

In addition to his parents, Noah is deeply loved by his maternal grandparents Mark and Bridget DiFrancesco; paternal grandmother Shagufta Ahmed; maternal great-grandparents Francis and Betty DiFrancesco, and the late Donald (late Gladys) Sweeney; paternal great-grandparents Hafiz Asghar Hussain and the late Rashida Kauser. He was also adored by his aunts and uncles, Johnathon DiFrancesco, Anthony DiFrancesco (Trish Mott), Brittany Gornbein, Ali (Lauren) Zeeshan, and Mariam (Faraaz) Siddiqui, as well as several great-aunts, great-uncles and cousins.
