My condolences, to the Rivas/Arroyo family. Yaya was an amazing god mother and auntie for 30+ years. She was the one that had all of us come together and celebrate all types of holidays. She was always there for me and got me! She will be missed. God knows nothing will ever be the same, without her. Love you yaya.
