Jennifer Lopez's grandmother, Julia Rodriguez, was laid to rest Wednesday in her Bronx, New York, hometown.

Lopez, 38, was performing with husband Marc Anthony, 39, in L.A. October 20 when Rodriguez passed away.

A source tells Usmagazine.com that Anthony, 39, "canceled a round of interviews" to attend an October 22 memorial service for Rodriguez, a seamstress, who had inspired Lopez to open her Pasadena, California, restaurant, Madre's, in 2002. (Lopez also canceled a concert scheduled for today in San Diego due to the recent Malibu blazes, the source said.)

"Jennifer was extremely close to her grandmother," a source says. "She was very supportive and with Jennifer and Marc a lot in her final days."

The source says Rodriguez was equally excited about Lopez's pregnancy.

"She loved her granddaughter and Marc and would have loved to have been there for the birth," the source adds. "It's very sad."
