Video shows Analisa Lopez’s friends and family lighting candles to remember the woman they referred to as kind and unique.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
As the sun set on Beach park, a crowd formed.
“She was just like her zodiac, a Leo, so she was a lion that roared,” said Angela Lopez, Analisa’s mother.
Angela Lopez is the mother of Eighteen year-old Analisa Lopez, who on October 31 was struck by multiple cars after skateboarding on the Westside Parkway. She was pronounced dead at the scene. On Saturday, friends and family wore purple – her favorite color.
“She always took pictures of the sunsets, she always did, whether she was at the beach, at home, or traveling,” said Rosemary Rivas.
Rivas is Lopez’s grandmother and she told me that Lopez had liked to skateboard and watch the sun set.
“She was a very fun outgoing down to earth person,” Deserie Hernandez said.
Deserie Hernandez is Lopez’s aunt – – who said she is still in shock.
“It’s been devastating, it’s devastating, it’s unreal, it’s like a dream.”
