Two weeks ago, Luis Felipa praised his daughter for turning her life around.
Raven Alisha Ali-O’Dea had been a rebellious teenager, he explained, but had transformed into a grown, responsible woman.
“(I said,) ‘Raven, you know, I’m so proud of you, the way you changed your life around.'”
“Her cheeks were both pink. She says, ‘Dad, you’re making me blush,’ because normally I don’t just give compliments like that.”
“I’m so glad that I told her,” Felipa recalled, his voice shaking.
Those were his last words to her.
Ali-O’Dea, 29, her husband Nazir Ali, 28, and their children, six-year-old Layla Rose Ali-O’Dea, eight-year-old Jayden Prince Ali-O’Dea, and 10-year-old Alia Marilyn Ali-O’Dea, died early Monday morning after a fire tore through their Brampton, Ont., home.
Felipa’s ex-wife and Raven Alisha Ali-O’Dea’s mother, Bonnie O’Dea, who lived with the family, was transported to a trauma centre in critical condition. Two tenants living in the basement of the home were able to evacuate without any injuries.
