In her poignant message, Florencia urged others to cherish every moment. "Take advantage of every minute of life, every moment shared with your loved ones, every hug, kiss, don't hold anything back. Love, feel, enjoy, life is only one," she wrote. Her father has postponed scheduled performances in Chaco and Santa Fe, Argentina, to be with his family during this period of grief.
