"We grow up together, fell apart, and came back together in such a beautiful way," she continued. "God you're missed so much… except I can't shake the feeling you never left…you're still here with us..guiding us to our highest potential."
"I miss you Nay Nay," she added.
Rivera, who starred on the hit television show with Morris, accidentally drowned during a visit to California's Lake Piru on July 8, 2020, according to the Ventura County Medical Examiner.
The actress was alone on a boat with her son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, who was four years old at the time. Her son told authorities that he and his mother went for a swim and that afterward, he got back in the boat, but his mother did not.
