One of those to pay tribute to the singer was Larissa Pereira, the wife of soccer star Roberto Firmino, who was a close friend of Diniz.
“I really do not know what to tell you, I wanted to be here just wishing you happy birthday, but I also say that I’m praying a lot for you,” Pereira wrote to Diniz’s girlfriend, Karoline Calheiros. “Asking God to comfort your heart and understanding you to understand that his plans are sometimes not ours, but what matters is that one day we will all find ourselves in a much better place.”
