Lalo Rodríguez said goodbye to his children’s mother days before his death

Communication between Lalo Rodríguez and his wife and mother-of-four, Wanda Torres, was “very minimal” after the divorce, but he called her about four days before his death.

He asked her to take care of herself, prayed for her and called her “my love” again. It was a message she didn’t take as goodbye until the following Tuesday, when she learned that he had died near the field in the Sabana Abajo residential area, where she thought he was happy as a child.

“He spoke a lot with the girl and the grandchildren but he died on Tuesday and on Friday (before) night he called me to tell me to take care of myself, he was praying for me. He said to me, ‘My love’, I said, ‘Oh my god, did you remember?’ and he said to me, ‘No, I will never forget, you are the love of my life, the woman of my life Youth and the mother of my four children that no paper can erase,'” Torres said of the last time he spoke to the salsa singer with whom he fathered Jeramel, José Juan, Linda and Yariel (adopted) and raised.

When she learned of his death on Tuesday afternoon, December 13, she understood that he had called her to say goodbye.

“He died in the Sabana Abajo dormitory, he died in the place where he was happy as a child. He played basketball on the same court and we’ve always had two numbers since we were together and when he played it was 54 and 45. Five because it’s the letters of my name, four because it’s his four, and him died in building 54, that is, a phone call, a field he was happy in, and in front of the building of numbers that meant us as a couple. Father God sends the little messages because he doesn’t make it easy for us, so add one plus one and tie the ends together and you come to conclusions,” shared the “eternal friend” of “El Canario de Carolina,” a town saying goodbye this Tuesday with the same affection and respect that he has shown.

“God prepared him to say goodbye,” he added.

Torres said she was calm even when dealing with the pain of her children, grandchildren and her own.

“God was always with me. He never let me down and even in this process. Another person who doesn’t have God in their heart wouldn’t have been on stage and doing choirs and even dancing, and I do it because he liked it. He liked to sing and he liked the fact that I danced with my brother or his cousin in public,” Torres said after the orchestra had paid tribute to Tommy Olivecia Lalo Rodríguez at the Plaza de Recreation in the “Land of the Giants”. .

She said she was grateful to the people of Carolina because “they paid her a well-deserved tribute,” and she also expressed herself calmly because for many years she had supported her partner whenever she could. “I know that whatever was in my hands, I was there until the last moment,” he said.

The singer’s cause of death is still unknown, but Torres said a pathologist told family it could have been a “devastating heart attack” because “he was neglectful and didn’t put the medication on his heart for about two days.” ”

The funeral for the voice of the classic “Come Eat Me Again” would be held at the Santa Cruz Cemetery in Carolina this afternoon.
