Family, friends mourn young girl who died after coming down with flu

NORTH BERGEN, New Jersey (WABC) --
Friends and family gathered to say goodbye to a young girl who died after coming down the flu. Nevaeh Hernandez, 6, died earlier this week. Her wake was held Friday in North Bergen.

Loved ones say Hernandez was a beautiful little girl with a vibrant spirit, and brought happiness to everyone around her. Pink was her favorite color and those attending services today were asked to wear it as a gesture of love for the little angel and her grieving family.

The kindergartener at Lincoln School came home with a fever and headache last Friday. Her mother took her to Hoboken University Medical Center where she was eventually discharged without a diagnosis, according to the family's attorney.

When Hernandez's fever increased the next day, her other rushed her to Hackensack University Hospital where she was diagnosed with the flu. While she was there, she suffered four seizures, slipped into a coma and passed away Monday.

Hernandez is the second child in New Jersey to die of the flu this season, and although she received a flu shot back in December, her family is now fighting for more awareness and accountability with the virus.
