San Juan , Puerto Rico ( CNN ) -- A wake for a 7-year-old girl abducted and killed near her north Georgia home will be held in Puerto Rico on Monday , her family said . Friends and loved ones will honor Jorelys Rivera at a day-long wake in the family 's hometown of Penuelas . She will be buried Tuesday , said her father , Ricardo Galarza . The girl 's mother , Joseline Rivera , arrived in Puerto Rico Sunday on the same airplane that carried her daughter 's remains , CNN affiliate WAPA reported . She said she was trying to stay strong for her other two daughters . `` I tell them , she was a princess and she is with God the father now , who is going to take care of her , '' Rivera told WAPA . Joseline Rivera wore a T-shirt with Jorelys ' picture as she walked through the airport , cradling her 1-year-old daughter in one arm and holding her 4-year-old daughter 's hand . Galarza said Sunday that he was `` relieved '' that Jorelys ' remains had arrived in Puerto Rico . He told CNN last week that he last saw his daughter two years ago when she visited for the summer . She was supposed to have returned for Christmas . Jorelys disappeared December 2 near a playground at a Canton , Georgia , apartment complex . Searchers found her body in a compactor-type trash bin there three days later . Authorities have accused 20-year-old Ryan Brunn -- a maintenance worker at the complex -- of killing her . Jorelys died of blunt force trauma to the head and was stabbed and sexually assaulted , according to authorities . A date for Brunn 's arraignment has not been set . David Cannon Sr. , one of Brunn 's court-appointed attorneys , has said that his client will plead not guilty . On Sunday , Rivera told WAPA that if authorities have evidence showing Brunn killed her daughter , he should face the death penalty . `` The truth is I ca n't tell you if it was him or if it was n't him , because I had never seen him before , '' she said .
