SO FONDLY REMEMBERED...SO TERRIBLY MISSED

SO MISSED AND SO FONDLY REMEMBERED....

Just now when I opened my FB, I saw a post on my cousin Joel's wall....it reminded me that 3 years ago we all lost a most wonderful person...my Mama Sally.

To this day, I and my wife Dinah would sometimes talk about her and remember how so generous she was. She was the best personal proof for me....that generosity has nothing to do with being rich....Financially, my Mama Sally would be up...she would be down..but one thing remained constant, she was always generous....her kind heart was never affected.

She extended her generosity not just through the giving of material things, but through advises and through prayers....I remember her telling me...that when she found out that my wife Dinah was going through an operation....she prayed the Rosary so many times, walking, sitting, standing, working....she just went on praying for my wife.

I tried to do the same for my Mama Sally when she was sick...I too prayed the Rosary for her....sadly, the results were not what I wished for....but like I've said before.....The Lord must have needed a new angel.

My family continues to feel the great loss that my cousins feel...she is a tough act to follow. I love her!

Uncle Fred will always occupy a special place in my heart for a different reason....He encouraged Dinah when she was just starting in the business of making commercials. Uncle Fred told Dinah to just continue going to vtrs, and not to lose hope..."makukuha ka rin..sigurado ako!" When Dinah finally started making commercials, we both knew Uncle Fred had something to do with it.

They are both in heaven and there with the other angels, their love story continues...I know they are watching over their children, their grandchildren...and perhaps even us.

God bless Mama Sally and Uncle Fred.

God bless Jenifer Villarin Olbes, Jerry, Mahbel V Novion, Joel....and their wives, and their children...you have been truly blessed to have two of the most wonderful people, in your lives, and watching over all of you.
