I knew Rhianna a long time ago. I was her third grade teacher. She was a happy girl with a big smile on her face that made it a joy to go to work each day. I am sad to hear about this. She will always hold a special place in my heart as she was a very sweet girl in my very first class. God Bless.

Rhianna is a beautiful girl with a kind heart and soul. I am so sad to lose such a wonderful cousin! She will forever be in our hearts! I hold such fond memories of her! The room lit up every time she walked in. I remember when she wrote a song and what a beautiful voice she had when she sang! She is so talented and I am so sad she has left our family way too soon!!
