“She was the life of the party, she was always dancing, singing,” said Solimar Vidal, one of the Rivera’s daughters. “She was our only parent left, so it’s a lot.”
The pair says they’re trying to hold on to the memories while coping with the sudden and unexpected death of their mom.
Rivera, who was on the way to work, was the sole provider for the family. “It just feels like she passed away wrongfully,” said Yalimar Vidal, Rivera’s youngest daughter. “She was just going to have a normal day, we had so many plans. It’s just not fair.”
