Riky Rick Funeral – Tweeps moved by wife Bianca Naidoo’s speech (Video)
It was most likely the hardest day of Bianca Naidoo’s life. But she was channeling her pain into a powerful tribute in the wake of her husband Riky Rick’s death
Speaking at his funeral on Tuesday, 1 March, the shy woman delivered an exceptional eulogy for her celebrity spouse who died last week of a suspected suicide.
And fans had nothing but love, respect and admiration for the widow of the late star.
Taking to the podium accompanied by a female relative, Bianca Naidoo spoke at lengths about her “soulmate” Riky Rick.
Despite her quiet nature, the mom-of-two spoke slowly and eloquently as she told funeral-goers of how the star impacted her life.
Tweeps were impressed not only by her words, but her composure too.
“You can tell that Riky Rick is leaving a strong woman behind. One similarity I saw between Bianca and Riky Rick’s mother is strength and I am sure they are going to be there for each other in every way”
“Bianca paid a glowing tribute to Riky. I shed tears”
“She is indeed a strong woman. She held it together so well”
“I commend Bianca for finding the strength to stand on that podium and bid farewell to her husband”
