We miss you auntie. 
We’ll always remember your cheesy jokes and goofy comments when we’d all get together. But most of all we’ll remember how strong you were as a mother, sister, and auntie. The strength that you showed us through your cheerfulness will stick with us more that you have ever known. No words can describe how grateful we all are to have had you in our lives. We know you’re in a better place now but we just wanted to say we miss you very much. 

Love you auntie, 
Charenee, Ciana, Cia Cia

I miss you sis every minute of the day, when I think of you I just want to cry and hide so no one can see. It hurts me a lot to know that you’re gone but I have to be strong...I know we both been through a lot and you were always there to help me even when I got sick. I appreciate everything you done for us. I don’t know if I can say goodbye to you, I’m still thinking that you’re still here with us. I will miss all the times we spent together. We did everything together..and I will miss that the most. It’s hard to let you go but it’s more hard to see what you been through because I been there too but your situation was worse than mine. Now I have to let you go but the memories will always remain in my heart forever. May you Rest In Peace my beloved twin sister ❤️

                                Your twin sis, Marivic

To my Beautiful and Beloved Wife,
I can’t imagine living without you for the remainder of my life. I’ve always avoided funerals and now I’m burying the love of my life. I’m still struggling to accept that you’re not here with me Mahal. There will be many cold and sleepless nights, but you’re loving spirit will get me through these difficult times. Mahal, you have always been the apple of my heart, the compass to my journey, the beacon of my life and the glue to our family. You we’re my Everything, My Love. These past 13 days brought so much sorrow, pain, guilt, anger, but also brought love from our family. Just a couple days ago, you sent a message to my troubled heart and removed all my pain inside of me. Even when you’re not here with me, you’re still taking care of me. It seems just yesterday when we first met and asked myself the question” how did i win your love”. I’m the luckiest man to have a woman like you in my life, selfless in every way, beautiful inside and out. I missed you terribly Mahal. I will remember our good times together such as karaoke nights singing to each other, dancing on our kitchen floor, casino buffet, and so many more good times but the most I will remember and will miss so much is our intimate moments. I will carry on your legacy by loving unconditionally because you had abundance of love to give and making me to believe again. It was selfish of me to think I could keep all your love to just me. Mahal, today is Memorial day and I don’t want it to end because tomorrow I will see you and i know you will be so beautiful. Mahal, How can I let go of someone so amazingly beautiful? My only answer to that question is God needed you more than I do. They say God giveth and God taketh away. Mahal thank you so much for including me to be part of your life. I will cherish our 25 wonderful years together every single day until we meet again in paradise. I Love You Sweetheart. My Endless Love Now and Forever. 
Your Loving Husband
Alberto❤️




Mom,

I love you and miss you so much, you always told my siblings and I to always be prepared if this were to ever happen, even though this was unexpected. Even though this wasn’t expected I’m still staying strong because I know that’s what you’ve wanted. I always think about you and worry if my life will ever be the same without you. I miss you so much that words can’t even describe, I’m focusing on my education to make you proud.  I will visit you ever Sunday, Me, Leo, and Dad. I love you mom. I will never ever forget you or the food you always made me eat.

Thank you Mom, I miss you so much. Even though you left us unexpectedly, I’m being strong just like you kept telling me and trying to continue living without you. It’s rough, but we will all get through this hard time. I love you Mom, thank you for everything.

Love, Leo

Mom, 

I love and miss you so so much. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I am torn that you had to leave. Being a wonderful mother was the greatest gift I could ever receive. You have taught me many lessons in life and now I understand. I am so proud to be your son and even though you are no longer here we will continue to make you happy. I appreciate everything you have done for me and I know you did the best you could as a mother. You are strong, patient, kindhearted, and loving which touched many people. I will miss how you would always check up on me even though you just contacted me yesterday. I will miss the way you laugh and play around. I will most definitely miss you being around and supporting us all the time. Thank you for waiting a little longer for me I know it was hard and don’t worry I promise to look out for my siblings. The memories we had will never be forgotten and will continue to be shared. You will always be remembered and loved. Mom you have been through enough now it’s time you can be at peace. Thank you for making sacrifices and I love you for everything you have done for me and the family. 

 Your son, G.J.


Mrs. Garay, 

In the years of knowing you I’ve learned a lot about you, but here’s two that will stay with me: 
   1. I can never refuse a plate of food from you, doesn’t matter if I have eaten or not 
   2. You’re an incredibly selfless and caring person, you’ll always put your family first and I really admire that. 
I will like to thank you for not only welcoming me but also my family to be part of yours with open arms. I know that great sense of humor has the heavens crying with laughter. Sumalangit nawa ang iyong kaluluwa

Love, Ja’Choree 


I miss you Auntie and I will only miss you more as the days go by... you have so many people that love you and will never let go of the memories we had of you and with you. I know things will never really be the same anymore without you being here but we will never stop thinking of you because many things and places will always remind us of you. You had such a big heart and always been a good aunt who helped out with a lot and we can never thank you enough for everything. I’ll never forget how strong and full of life you were. You endured so much so it’s safe to know that you can finally rest. Rest Easy, Love you so much Auntie

Sis, 
Today it really hit me that you are actually gone physically. No words can describe how lonely i'm feeling right now knowing we will never see your beautiful face again. I will miss you dearly sis, specially your txt each morning asking "What are you doing today ate?" I will miss your funny jokes and our daily conversations in our group chat. You always make us laugh without even trying. I will surely miss your presence in every family gatherings in the future.  You are so caring, loving, selfless, and generous and always putting others ahead of yourself. No wonder you have so many friends and loved by so many people.  Knowing your situations for years, i think you have suffered enough. We  have to let you go but your memories will always remain in our hearts and our minds. Rest in peace now with papa my dear sister.  We will miss you. We love you Tekla. 

My dearly beloved Momma,

Even though you are no longer physically with us, I can still feel your love all around me. You were great at many things, but I believe being our Mother was your best trait. You taught us all how to be strong, forgiving, courageous, selfless.. but most importantly, you taught us the importance of family and to love each other unconditionally. You are the foundation of our family and because of you, I know the pain we feel now will never outweigh the love you have shown us. Thank you so much, Momma. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude. You have fought tirelessly to stay with us, but it is time you stop worrying and rest peacefully in Heaven. I love you with all my heart, beautiful and I will carry your memory with me everywhere I go.

Your daughter, Jessica

The thought of you not being here with us anymore will hurt us for awhile. I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too. I often speak your name. And now I face each day, with hope and memories and though I'm full of sadness that you're no longer here, but I know it's not goodbye it's see you later sis love you so much. 

 Lost one of the most important person in my life. She was one of the biggest influence who helped shaped my life and who showed me so much love and support. You raised me like your own daughter since the day I met you. You did so much for each and one of us. We will  never forget all the memories we have shared. I remember the last words you told me.... whatever happens to me... promise me to stay positive and strong. Live life to fullest”...... but no....... for me.... it’s so hard to stay strong I hate having to pretend to move on with life knowing that I’m always losing someone I’m close with. It hurts to say goodbye.  To the greatest mother in law. We all miss and love you ❤️ 

There are no goodbyes..... Memories will remain in our hearts  forever.

God bless you, mom. I love you so much. I miss you but I know I'll see you again on the last day. I am praying every day till then that you receive another opportunity to receive God's love and grace. Wherever I go, I will take you in my heart and do my best to serve God so that my wish to see you in Heaven will be granted. Love, your firstborn.
