Dear Auntie, I am sad that you are gone now. I value all of the knowledge you have given me. I will remember all of the happy memories that we shared together. From baking zucchini bread, to you having a painting & added a picture of Jennie and me naked as babies in a pool, to playing Bahay Kubo underneath your dining table. That quiet smile when you looked at me, is all I see right now. Thank you for taking care of Mommy- don’t worry because we will take care of her. With the many blessings that you taught me; now I return the blessings to you, for a full and eternal life. As you have said millions of times to many people, I now say to you “God Bless You.” May you finally rest in beautiful peace as you have worked so very hard in this life time.
Lovealways,
❤️Michelle
