Thanks to Jesus, we have that beautiful resurrection hope that God’s word, the Bible declared in Acts 24:15, which says: “And have hope toward God, ....that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust “ See you in the new system, Ate and Manoy!

To our late Mrs. Susan, thank you very much! Be at peace with God our Lord. You will always be in our hearts. I will always remember the Lady with great affection, her joy, and care for her (our) family.
She liked to sing, to play the piano, to dance, to smile!
Woman of faith, Servant of the Lord.
We lived together for many years and she welcomed me not as a daughter-in-law but as a daughter. I learned a lot from her! I learned with your generosity, faith, patience, organization, and much more.
She helped me educate Olivia, in her first steps. She gave us love and care. We will miss her very much! On every normal day and every celebration. Her enthusiasm and joy drove us to be better people.
See you later! One day we will meet in the Father's Glory.

It has been difficult times for me. My mother passed away on Sunday after staying at the hospital for 3 days. Today is her funeral in the morning. It is extremely painful, an overwhelming heartache and unbearable pain losing my Mom…to me, to my husband Servulo and the boys in the house, and my brother, sister-in-law and niece, and friends here and afar.

Our family had protected her and took care of her for 30 years after the passing of my father, she was never alone between me and my brother, and she had been living with my family for the last 4 months. We have been coping in our own ways. We know that she is resting in peace up in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and her beloved husband and all the relatives waiting to reunite with her in the Grace of God. Please include her in your prayers.

She has touched so many lives in her tenure here on earth. I hope you will enjoy the photos, some black & white photos of her young and a time past when people appear to dress more fashionably. She has touched so many lives in her tenure here on earth. View the video 4 of her last birthday in January, she will give you a blessing.

I know you will be sending me your thoughts to give me strength. For that, I thank you. In a way, the pandemic provided our family the quality time together that we miss having during normal times. We were fortunate that all five of us were able to pamper her, laugh with her, make her laugh, cook together, clean the kitchen together, share her stories from her past or my childhood, say grace before all the meals we took together, give hugs and say I love you before bedtime. For that, we thank God for the opportunity given to us.

A friend sent me this sentiment: "A mother's love is unconditional and losing someone like that is never easy. A mother is with us always, first in her lifetime, then forever in our memories." If your mother is still here on earth, you will want to give her a hug whenever you can, physically or virtually. And you will want to say you love her many times in your lifetime.

Hugs to all,
Joanna
