NEW YORK — Heartbreak gave way to shock and joy Saturday at a St. Patrick’s Cathedral memorial for two slain New York City Police Department officers, with the teary widow of one cop announcing the couple’s surprise pregnancy to cheers.
“Through sorrow and pain can also be a great birth,” declared Dominque Luzuriaga, the last speaker at the crowded service honoring her husband Jason Rivera and his partner Wilbert Mora. “I am blessed to say that Jason and I will be expecting our miracle this spring.”
The audience inside the Midtown church rose to their feet in applause after the the mother-to-be shared the revelation on the first anniversary of the Jan. 21, 2022, line-of-duty deaths of her spouse and Rivera.
