‘Everybody wanted to be around her’
Acosta’s grieving family remembers her as a “cheerful, sassy person”. Her aunt, Angela Martinez, told ABC10, “Always fun. Everybody wanted to be around her because she was the one that danced and she lived life. It was a feeling that I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. She was my baby before I even had babies. This definitely took a piece of all of us,” before sharing, I was there the day she was born and have been there ever since. It’s definitely going to be hard.”
Martinez added, “Anytime you’re around her, you can’t be sad, you can’t be mad because she’s just this jumpy, little cheerful, sassy person, because we can’t leave out the sassy part. You put on R. Kelly, and that girl was dancing. You put on oldies, and she was singing. She was the life of the party.”
