Yadira Carrillo, one of the late actress’ best friends, spoke to the press about the last days of Edith’s life. “We never saw her [looking] bad. [She was always] Perfect.

The news of Edith González’s death sent shockwaves everywhere. Tens of artists, colleagues, friends, and family members gathered on Thursday, June 13 to say goodbye in Panteon Frances, west of Mexico City.

Lorena Velázquez, who was also very close to Edith, talked about Constanza Creel’s feelings. Constanza is Edith’s daughter. “She is worse than us. She is too little to understand all this.” The actress added that the girl, who is about to turn 15 in the next few months, was accompanied by Lorenzo Lazo, her mother’s husband, and her nanny.

Mauricio Islas, a close friend of Edith's, also attended the Panteon Frances to say goodbye to his great friend. The actor said to the journalists who were present that he and his family would take care of Edith’s widower, Lorenzo Lazo, and Constanza. “This was one of the things she left us: friendship with her family,” he said in one of the statements reported by the media, such as El Sol de México. “She was always a great friend who we will remember dearly. I can say that she was happy when she passed away.”

Erika Buenfil also attended to pay her respects.

Sofía Castro looked very emotional during the funeral as she spoke about Edith’s legacy: “[She was] A woman who was an example of a warrior who lived in constant struggle. A person worth admiring for everything she did as a mother, as a woman, and as an actress, who leaves behind a huge void.”

Hours after the death of the actress was confirmed, in one of her profiles in her social media account, a beautiful picture appeared where Edith poses with her daughter, both smiling and looking absolutely lovely. Only the artist’s name and the date of her death are captioned.
