Whenever I think of Tita Nene, I have this memory of her from when I was very small and we were visiting in Lobel's. She would be standing under the big mango tree by the main cottage, with some smoke in the background from whatever she was cooking over a wood fire, paused as she talks to someone. Or she would be watering the very lush garden, or trimming some plants wearing rubber gloves. Or cooking some very yummy ulam in the Reynolds canteen.  Tita Nene was always busy with something, cooking, gardening, making flower arrangements, or stripping the paint from the front door of their home on Utopia Parkway. The only time she would ever stop was when she would finish handing out plates to guests and maybe she would finally sit down to join them for the meal. But as soon as the meal finished, she would be fixing up again and offering coffee to whoever wanted. 
Tita Nene didn't have her own children to care for but she, and Tita Alice, took care of all of us. We will always remember her with love, fondness and gratitude. 

Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

-Will miss you Tita Nene. You always cooked my favorite food/desserts whenever she knew I was coming to visit.

"God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put his arm around you 
and whispered, 'Come To Me.'" 🌹

We praise and thank you, Lord, for the chance to express our love and gratitude to our dear sister Nene,  who had done so much, towards improving the family resources  From very humble beginning, our parents, worked so hard,to , give all their nine children a better world than what they had. 

 I .  as the eldest in the family saw for myself, the many  sacrifices and challenges they underwent, which awakened in me, the determination to do the best I can to share in their primary desire 
to be able to send all of us to school and become professionals.

As a teacher, I entrusted the full salary  I got to help , in whatever  needs the family had  ,  throughout the  less than six years , before I got married. , Mely  and Rory  who also became teachers also  did the same ,. until  they also got married . Alice, in  search for greener pastures migrated to the States,. Dolores, who had just finished college, together with Manding , had to carry the responsibilies left undone.   She carried the responsibility of managing the Reynolds Canteen, a , she was already employed as the bookeeper at the Radiola Toshiba, , Inc., a n electronics compant afdministered  by my husband , Leonardo . Despite the two  jobs, she had, feedback from my husband, echoed that Nene was  doing her job very efficiently 
well although she struggled  much much harder in the management of the Canteen. which started the family to generate handsome profits, enabling each and everyone of us in the family, comfortable lives we all enjoy. In summary, I wish to express the family's gratitude and love to our dear sister Nene. May she rest in eternal peace. God bless her soul. Amen. - Charing Vicencio

Nene, as we dearly call her, will be dearly missed by us. She was a person whom you cannot see doing nothing; she is a busy person. Even though she relaxes in front of a TV, she still does something like sowing or something else that should be done. She was also very loving and caring. When my husband was hospitalized, and ate Alice and she was in the PH, she used to cook for us every day. She would bring food to our house because we had no helper. And I really appreciate and cannot forget her loving and affectionate ways. She was also very thoughtful, very organized. Every time she sends balikbayan boxes here, they were all organized and everyone had a fair share; none were forgotten.

Nene, I will surely miss you. 



God always bless Tita Nene who we so love dearly!  She was and always will be a very big part of my life.  All of us, her nephews and nieces grew up experiencing much her love and unwavering support.  She with Tita Alice were the Strength and Pillars of our Leon Family.  I will remember her always happy spirits, gentle kindness for everyone and always ever so present in all our lives.  All of us in the Vicencio family, love you Tita Nene very much and will cherish you forever!  We all are the good, loving and kind people we are now a great part because of you!  Throughout your lifetime, You brought everyone so much love and joy!  Bless you always Tita Nene and I love you very much.

Tita Nene blessed Us ALL with her unconditional love, unwavering support, admirable strength of character and stamina.

In family gatherings, she always had a big smile for everyone even if she had very little sleep preparing delicious food for All of Us.  She was fun loving and would not mind joining us dance the “Macarena”, and we had a video that captured this wonderful memory.

In sickness, I never heard her complained.   She endured, staying positive, and with great faith to God Almighty.  We know, she is smiling on Us now as she has secured her place  with Our Lord.

She has touched a lot of lives,  OUR LIVES and she will be dearly missed.

WE LOVE YOU, ❤️ Tita NENE and you will always stay in our hearts. 💕

Ate Alice called me early morning, July 20th, she broke the sad news of Nene’s passing.

She said, “Magkikita sila Nene at Loloy in Heaven.” Deep sorrow crawled into my heart, but for our comfort, we know Nene is with the Lord in a special place where there are no more tears, no more pains, and no more sufferings.  

We will always remember her -Nene’s thoughtfulness, caring hands and generosity. 

From TX with our heartfelt sympathy, ❤️&🙏s ~Tita Sylvia, Edna & Family

So enjoyed photos of younger Dolores. Will forever remember often looking out the window and watching our neighbor sisters gardening to make their yards the most beautiful on our street. Sweet lady will be missed for the beauty she shared with others.
