Aaliyah Rivera's Homegoing

Miss Aaliyah Rivera, age 11, passed away October 20, 2016 at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina after a fatal car accident near her home. She was born April 3, 2005 in New York. She attended Gibson Elementary School in Winston-Salem, NC. Aaliyah will always be remembered as a loving person who enjoyed singing, dancing, modeling, and being with her friends and family. She could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with many friends. Her motto in life was “Love, Hope, Believe”. God placed Aaliyah with her loving mother and new family at the age of ten months. She is survived by her mother, Minerva Rosa Rivera; step-father, Santos Lara; sisters, Carmen Vazquez (Jaime), Patria Rivera, Minerva Rivera, Destiny Rivera, Nathasha Durant, Tanya Durant, Marquita Pringle and Danielle King; brothers, Alexander Rivera, Benny Rivera, and Maleek Rivera; her nieces, Minerva Martinez and Analeigh Rivera; a nephew, Jaime Vazquez, Jr.,; her uncles, Richie Anthony, Jonathan Khon (Elizabeth Hasen), and Angel Rosa, Sr.; her aunts, Millie Rosa Rivera and Nancy Rosadro. Any donation you can give is greatly appreciated at this difficult time. Thank you and God Bless.
