Naya Rivera may be gone, but she’s certainly not forgotten by her old castmates on Glee.
Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale, Matthew Morrison and Chris Colfer all posted warm online memories today of the kind girl they knew. The outpouring comes on the one-year anniversary of Rivera’s drowning death in Lake Piru in California.
In that incident, Rivera and her son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, then 4, had been enjoying a day on the lake when both went swimming. The boy was later found alone on the boat, wearing a life jacket.
Earlier today, Rivera’s immediate family sat down with ABC-TV for a Good Morning America remembrance of the actress.
The cast members of Glee shared photos and videos of Rivera in their tributes.
