Heather Morris revealed that she got a tattoo of a tweet made by her late former Glee costar, Naya Rivera, in a post that was shared to her Instagram account on Thursday afternoon.

The 34-year-old actress also wrote a lengthy message in the caption for her post to let her 1.1 million followers know that she still remembered her ex-castmate and was happy to carry on her legacy.

The Grammy Award-winning performer tragically passed away exactly one year ago on Thursday when she drowned during a boating trip in Ventura County, California.
