Promises made in public, only to fade with time and excuses .... even in a unexplainable tragedy …" George responded to another fan.

"Naya always made sure that Santana's love for Brittany was expressed with dignity, strength and with pure intentions," Murphey, Falchuk and Brennan wrote after Naya’s tragic passing in July 2020.

"Naya was always moved by the girls who reached out to her to tell her how much Santana and Brittany's love affected them. Naya's obligation to them — and to all of her fans — was obvious. She had the rare combination of humility and endless confidence in her talent."

The actress, who was best known for her role as Santana Lopez on the show, lost her life in a drowning incident at Lake Piru, Calif. Josey survived the accident.
