Lucilla Carrillo Poet Bio

Jenni - Death of a Super Star

Jenni Rivera was her name. She came from  a family
of singers. She was born in California. She came 
from humble beginings. She was a young woman,
that reached stardom, fame and fortune, beauty
she already had.

She was a self made star. She started to get known 
in 1993. She reached fame, because of her talent.
her songs were known everywhere. A lot of women 
could identify with her. 

Jenni had a lot of tribulations in her life, just like a 
lot of us do, but she over came them, with her head 
high. She never forgot who she was, or where she 
came from. She would always take her kids to the
place where they lived, when they were little.

On December the 9th of 2012, she was in a plane
in Mexico with her crew to appear in another Concert
the next day. She never made it. The plane exploded
in mid air. For her family - it was devastating, for her
fans - it was a shock.

Jenni was a hard working young woman, that loved 
her kids, her family and of course her fans, her people,
La RAZA, as she called us. On that fateful day, they 
had a meeting that they couldn't miss. God had called 
them home. Goodbye Jenni, through your songs - you
will live forever...

Jack Ellison January 21, 2013 at 9:57 AM Seems to me to be quite prevalent with entertainers. So many have died at a far too young age... a tragedy! However, a beautiful tribute! Hugs, Jack xox Lucilla Carrillo January 21, 2013 at 10:16 AM Thank you jack. She was 43 years old.

Richard Lamoureux January 21, 2013 at 9:56 AM Wonderful tribute and sad at the same time. Sad for those left behind. Still comforting to know they are with God. Lucilla Carrillo January 21, 2013 at 10:17 AM Yes it is. She has a brother that is a preacher.

Harry Horsman January 21, 2013 at 7:30 AM such a tragedy Lucilla,, it does seem especially with those with talent with fame, a price.....so many have gone before their time...this is a lovely tribute Lucilla Carrillo January 21, 2013 at 10:18 AM Thank you Harry.

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2013 at 9:34 PM this is a really nice tribute to her. Was she the one they made a movie about? I know there was a famous singer who died but I think her name was different from this one. Your love of her is apparent. Lucilla Carrillo January 21, 2013 at 10:23 AM No that is not her. The other one was Selena. she was from Texas. A movie was made of her life. Thia one Made a Movie with Edwad James Olmos. iIt will be shown This year in The next two monts ,or so. The life of Casey brown. Not sure if it's Casy, but Brown - yes.

Demetrios Trifiatis January 20, 2013 at 12:41 PM Dear Lucilla, Let your poem be a monument for her to commemorate her passage from this fleeting world! God bless her soul and God bless you.

Russell Sivey January 20, 2013 at 10:58 AM This is quite the sentimental tribute to a wonderful singer/mother! I loved how you integrated her sense of reality, where she came from and who she really is, not what stardom can do to you! Thank you for introducing me to this star, I haven't heard of her or of this tragic event of her death! What a powerful poem you have written my friend, Great Work!!
