So many tributes have followed and are still ongoing. Only yesterday, the creators of Glee announced that they will be setting up a college fund for Naya Rivera’s son, Josey, who is currently just 4 years old.

The child was with his mother at the time of her death and apparently, she had just enough time to save her son from the water before disappearing under the surface.

Ensuring the best for her boy's future

The three creators, Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan, made the announcement on social media.

‘The three of us are currently in the process of creating a college fund for the beautiful son Naya loved most of all,’ they wrote in their post.

Our hearts go out to her family, especially her mom Yolanda, who was a big part of the Glee family, and her song Josey.
