Jennifer Lopez remembered one of the women who inspired her the most. The On the Floor singer took to her social media to share that her aunt Titi Rose passed away. “I have so many emotions as I write this. About how fierce, tough and unapologetically herself she was... she taught me what it was to be a hard working woman...she, like the other women I was fortunate enough to be raised by taught me to be independent and unafraid of life and what it would bring,” the 50-year-old wrote. As the post continued, the World of Dance judge shared some of her Titi’s valued lessons.

To laugh, dance, and stay close to family. And I am grateful for all she ever did for me. But I think I will remember her most like the video above laughing with her sisters and family on every Christmas birthday and random day on the set.” She continued: “I love you Titi, I am glad you and Tio are together again! Say hi to grandma and Titi Myrza. I love you all forever. I carry your strength and love with me always. We will make all of you proud. #familia #myguardianangels#nevergonealwayswithme”
