the most painful part in everyone's life would probably be saying good bye to a loved mother permanently and so thus a dear loved friend and member of our Pionneer class 1962. part of losing someone is not having to say good bye but rather learning to live without them. always trying to fill the void,the emptiness that is left inside our heart as they go. the loss of our Linda as we fondly call or beloved member of the pioneer family is a dedicated,fun loving loyal pioneer who is larger than life personality that transcended the pioneer community. she was part of our life and activities from pre-nursing years into our senior years as mother,grandmother "(lolos and lolas)" sharing our success and our sorrows. we studied together,lived together,watch each others' back and worked together to raising families and building a house into a home. a meaningful life sharing herself and touching the lives of others. all her children and grandchildren are beautiful and brilliant obviously take after their grandmother. a life beautifully lived and cherished for all time. we send her off with sadness but at the same time we must rejoice that she is now with her loving husband Willie, sons Bill and Richard. and most of all that she is in the arms of our Lord and creator. farewell our dear friend,you will be sorely missed. may you continue to leave an imprint in your new home to the family. our prayers and condolences to the family.
blessed are those who have died in the Lord. they will find rest from their labors, for their good deeds go with them. (Rev,14:13) Ruben & Lina Siasoco

To Dear Eileen and the rest of the Reotutar Family,
We share your sorrow and extend to all of you our condolence and prayers. As we mourn the loss of your mother, Erlinda, we also celebrate her life which was full of love, caring, benevolence, hospitality, willingness to help, vivacity and many more qualities and attributes. We have many memories of and with your entire family which we will forever treasure and honor: college days, early days in Chicago, reunions, travels, as sponsors during baptisms of Eileen and the late Bill Jr., Linda and Willie as baptismal sponsors of our first born Marilen, our many gatherings in the same apartment building where we all lived in Chicago and in the same community where we all lived in Arlington Heights.
You are all in our thoughts and in our prayers. It is said that the happiest place to be is in someone's thoughts, the safest place to be is in someone's prayers and the best place to be is in the hands of God. Linda is now in the hands of God with Willie, Bill Jr. and Richard.
We pray that all of us will find some solace, comfort and hope in the following quotes:
"Life is for the living and so we must go on.
Trusting God to see us through when our loved ones are gone.
But those who have departed now claim their sweet reward,
Exchanging life on earth for eternal life with the Lord.
Tiny seeds fall to the ground and bring forth beautiful flowers upon the earth.
What seems to have passed away has in truth been given an entrance to new life."
With love and prayers,
Tito Ernie and Tita Glo (Chua)

Dear Olette & the Reotutar Family - Linda and Willie were with their baby on April 1963 to come to the U.S.A. I and Violeta (Letty) were on the same NWA flight with our baby, Ben, Jr. Then we visited each other very often when we resided in Lexington, KY & the Reotutar Family in Arlington Hts., IL. I recalled how Emy Maniago, M.D. (May He Rest in Peace) & I bugged Willie when he was courting Linda because he will take a bus/jeep towards Cubao, QC but he was not going to Cubao! He was buying flowers at Aurora Blvd. to give to Linda while she was on-call at the ward. What Emy & I will did was to crowd Linda so that Willie cannot give the flowers & start the courtship! "Hi guys please live & get the hell out so that I can have some private moments with Linda!!" I also remembered when in the afternoon & we did have dinner yet, we will purposely visit Linda on dinner time so that we can be invited for dinner!! Olette knows about this scenario.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand wind that blows.
I am the diamond glitters on the snow,
I am the sun on the ripened grain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave & cry.
I am not there, I did not die!!
In behalf of Dr. Benjie & Violeta (Letty) Rigor, Sr. family, please accept our condolences. May she rest in peace and be with Willie in heaven.

Dear Bob and the entire Reotutar family,
To say your Mom was a gracious and warm host would be an understatement. Always welcoming, always cheerful, and forever trying to feed Bobby's friends! I can only smile when I think of my interactions with her at your house or on the phone. She was a wonderful woman and I'm very sorry for your loss.
Sincere condolences,
Bill Thompson
