Rooney said your loved ones still think about you every day, and you should never forget about them.

“It’s important because they might be happy, like not just happy, but super happy,” Rooney said. “They might think of you every day.”

Whether it’s big or small, making an altar for a loved one who’s passed is a great way to remember them.
