RIENA LAURAE CORDOVA

FOREVER 17

Riena Laurae Cordova was a beacon of light in this world—a beautiful young woman who embodied kindness, love, and an unshakable positivity that touched the lives of everyone around her. Her favorite saying, “No pasa nada,” wasn’t just a phrase; it was the way she lived her life, always seeking the silver lining and sharing her unwavering optimism with those who needed it most.

“She was an amazing, beautiful young lady who was so kind to others and loved so much,” her family remembers. Riena’s heart was as generous as it was caring. Whether she was supporting her friends, looking after her twin brothers, or simply being her radiant self, she gave of herself fully and without hesitation.

To her twin brothers, Riena wasn’t just a sister—she was a role model, a protector, and a source of endless love. To her best friend, who also happens to be her mother, Riena was more than a daughter. “She was my best friend who taught me what real love was,” her mother shares. Their bond was one of deep connection and mutual respect, a love that words could never fully capture.

Riena’s spirit was defined by her desire to help others. She approached life with an open heart and a genuine kindness that left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered. Her laughter, her smile, and her constant encouragement will forever be cherished by those who were blessed to know her.

Though her time here was far too short, Riena’s legacy is one of love and light—a reminder to find joy in the small moments, to care deeply for others, and to always look for the good in life.

Riena, you are deeply missed and endlessly loved. The impact you made on this world will never fade, and the love you shared will live on in the hearts of your family, your friends, and all who were touched by your incredible spirit.
