Today I rise to remember the life of Jordyn Rivera, who attended the Route 51 festival in Las Vegas on October 1. Jordyn was looking forward to graduating from California State University with her bachelor's degree in healthcare management. She was set to graduate in the spring of 2018. Jordyn was incredibly smart and was even a member of her school's National Health Education Honor Society. Her parents were always very proud of Jordyn and loved the close bond they had with her. She had a love for Jesus, her family, and country music. She had a gift that allowed her to reach out to others and bring people together. Jordyn's parents remember her as being personable and adventurous. She was warm, optimistic, and had an infectious energy. I would like to extend my condolences to Jordyn Rivera's family and friends. Please know that the city of Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, and the whole country grieve with you. ____________________
